You wanna pregame this by knocking back a few shots at the Panther Hollow Inn? Just a thought.
Sorry, saw this just now.
So...
HOW DID IT GO???
Well, I think.
:-D
There was a dinner afterward so just got home.
Nice meeting SamStone there.
It was a great! What an opportunity to hear some the best journalists in the city, all with very different perspectives.
Clearly, the introdution of new media has some growing pains, such as when Deena revealed that the new local NPR website initially had no way to post audio clips(!). But, beyond the technical challenges, the speakers seemed excited about the opportunities. It was also clear that the mainstream and alternative press,including bloggers, very much respect each others role in covering Pittsburgh news.
I also got to meet Maria, in person :-).
