News Tools 2008

I am heading for News Tools 2008, a conference in California where organizers hope “Journalism’s ideals meet Silicon Valley’s tools in a three-day, conceptual mashup.” It is hosted by the Journalism That Matters Collaborative, the Media Giraffe Project, the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) and Yahoo! Inc.” I am looking forward to talking to non-journalists (and a few journalists too!) about their perspectives on the opportunities of digital media and I will blog from the conference, which continues through Saturday. The official conference blog can be found here.
