today's journalists can -- and probably should -- consciously shift away from jobs that revolve around content creation (producing packaged "stories") and toward providing layers of journalistic insight and context on top of content created by others (including public information). Finding ways to help people sort through info overload is far more valuable than providing more information. Journos also should learn to cultivate and openly participate in public discourse -- something that provokes an inordinate and irrational amount of fear in the hearts of many traditional journalists. God forbid they acknowledge that they are, in fact, human beings with perspectives, opinions, and blind spots!
cybersoc.com: 10 tips for live blogging a conference or event
1. Make sure you've got all the kit you need and are subscribed to all the services you might want to use. The essentials pieces of kit you'll want are:
* laptop with full battery
* charger
* mobile, preferably with good camera and usb charger
* optional: digital camera, microphone, recording device, video camera
The essential services you'll want to be subscribed to or familiar with are:
* twitter
* an rss reader (if you don't use RSS yet see this explanation)
* flickr (for photos) and a video sharing service (youtube, bliptv, qik, etc)
* optional: a blog, friendfeed, del.icio.us
2. Figure out what the conference tag is going to be and use it. Some conference organisers are starting to announce the conference tag in advance. In the case of Social Media Influence, a twitter account with the name SMIuk08 has been set up so I'm assuming that's the tag they will want people to use as well.
