Speaking at New Communications Forum I'll be keynoting the journalism track at the New Communications Forum in Las Vegas March 7-9. The topic is a favorite of mine: How Web 2.0 is revolutionizing mainstream media. I'll look at the profound impact of blogs on newsgathering and in particular how "blog swarms" can turn one person's experience into a global news phenomenon almost overnight.

There's lot of other good stuff to check out, too: 28 interactive sessions in four conference tracks focusing on corporate communications, PR, marketing and advertising, new media and journalism. It's also just a good thing to support the Society for New Communications Research, a non-profit that's doing important primary research in new media.

Go to the conference website to register and use discount code 612SHN to catch a $200 break on the registration fee.  ¶ 8:20 AM
