Tennessee Blogger Conference

The LA Times reports in today's paper:

From Times Wire Reports
More than 300 bloggers came to Nashville for a two-day conference that was heavy on teaching techniques used by journalists in what bloggers term "the mainstream media." One class at the conference taught students how to access and analyze government statistics. Conference organizer Bill Hobbs called blogging "citizen journalism." There are more than 8 million bloggers, said Bob Cox, president of the Media Bloggers Assn.Blogs, short for Web logs, are running commentaries on whatever their authors are interested in. Content often focuses on politics or media criticism.

Now that's interesting...and a good thing for bloggers to be aware of.
Wrap.
