Conference details to be posted this week

Throughout this next week we will post videos, presentations and notes on the conference. Be sure to check back!

Kicked-off and going strong

Well, the conference has started in earnest and it has been great seeing some OLD friends as well as making new, much younger ones. It's nice to get out from behind the keyboard and actually meet some of the people who care about this media-form and its future.

See you tomorrow at CNU's David Student Center at 8 a.m for breakfast!

How to get there

The Marriott at Newport News City Center

Christopher Newport University
Take J. Clyde Morris (US 17) west from I-64 about 3 miles. Take it all the way to the Mariner's Museum/CNU Campus. Veer right towards Ferguson Center. You will approach a round-about...continue right.

If you park behind the Ferguson Center for the Performing Arts and next to the library, the David Student Center is west -- towards the center of campus (we'll have signs up).

The event is in the ballroom on the second floor.

Conference homework assignment: Watch Part III of "News War"

In advance of next week's media panel discussing the impact of the internet on journalism, I highly encourage everyone to watch Part III of Frontline's "News War" from PBS and to read more about it here.
