Hi Professor Witt! Love your page!

Hey, Len. I was thinking that I had already joined at some point in the past, but apparently didn't. Just a hectic semester, as I'm sure you're aware as well. Hope things are well.

Hi! Leonard,
How are you?!
Yes, I remember you. I'm glad to see so many familiar faces in here.

Things are going very well. We will be introducing our new Journalism and Citizen Media track in the fall. I will have a nice announcement I hope in the next couple of weeks about my Representative Journalism idea. More on that later. Any how, tell Dan and Tim I said hi.

I was hoping to run into you soon. Didn't know it would be online. The people are wonderful at ASU. Things are good. I am teaching online journalism and doing research on citizen journalism. I enjoyed my time there. Hope all is well your way.

I must say after only a few minutes here, I like this place. I feel comfortable here. Perhaps more so than at any other social networking site. Maybe it is the familiar names and it some cases faces. To me even in places like Basecamp where I do a lot of my group project work, just seeing someone's face next to a comment makes a big difference.

I'd like to see more pictures and more real names.

I kind of wonder why you would hide your identity in a professional forum, where potential bosses might come to like you, or where you form lasting professional relationships with colleagues, not to mention getting some good Google juice for your identity.

I would feel a lot better about this Wired Journalist site if more of the journalists actually uploaded photo icons. I am running a conference for local folks in Atlanta interested in social media. Of the 60 who went to our Crowdvine conference networking site only seven did not upload photos. So what is up with these journalists here? They don’t understand social networking sites? Don’t know how to upload a photo? Don’t have photos on their computers? Just too busy? I mean you have to play the game to really understand it. Initially I thought there was a photo uploading glitch; there is not. So what's up?

Editor John Yemma Talks of Big Changes at Christian Science Monitor

John Yemma, recently appointed editor of the Christian Science Monitor, tells of the plan and the costs for running the newspaper when it begins printing Fridays only and goes mostly online.

The cost for an approximately 80-person newsroom and eight foreign bureaus would be just $7 million a year, if it were all online, and $12 million with the Friday print edition. In this in-depth video int… Continue

Rolling Stone Writer: Citizen Journalism Can Save Environment

Jeff Goodell, contributing editor at Rolling Stone Magazine and author of Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future, isn’t very impressed with the way professional journalists cover the environment, but does think citizen journalism can save the environment. Watch my five-minute video interview at the Society of Environmental Journalists convention which ended yesterday, October 19, 2008.

Live Blogging the Birth of a Baby

I just put on a social media conference SoCon08 at Kennesaw State University, outside of Atlanta. More than 250 people attended, and one of them Robert Rhyne Armstrong used a fantastic tool called Cover It Live to live blog the event. After I asked him more about it, he sent me to a post where he live blogged his wife giving birth to their new baby. It is very cool, especially with all the supporters joining the… Continue

Can Big Newspapers Think Small?

Last night Bill Clinton visited Kennesaw State University, outside of Atlanta, giving a campaign speech for Hillary. You can find my written reactions to how the press covered the event at my blog PJNet.org with the head: Bill Clinton Didn't Punch Barak Obama in the Face, and here in a very amateur video, which I think also gets my point across.

I Want to See Your Faces

I would feel a lot better about this Wired Journalists site if more of
