Enjoy! I’ll be doing the same for several sessions tomorrow, including the day opener featuring Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan:
Elected and Connected: Uses, Dangers and Benefits of Being an Elected Official in a 2.0 World
Investigating the user experience from the perspective of elected officials. What new technologies are our Members of Congress using to communicate with their constituents? What first drew them to the tools they use? How is new technology specifically helping them better serve their constituents? How do they balance a new level of transparency these tools provide with their need or desire to keep some things private? How are they directing their staff to integrate these tools into their daily routines? What is the biggest potential danger they see in using these tools?
- Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO)

Live-chat w/director Lorna Ann Johnson: American women & Iraq War
Filed Under Blogging, Foreign Affairs, Gender, live-blog, war | 2 Comments
BlogHer Contributing Editor Professor Kim Pearson conducted a live-chat this evening with film director, Lorna Ann Johnson. You can read about Lorna, see a clip of her film and replay the engrossing live-chat all here. About Lorna’s work from the BlogHer post:
Director Lorna Johnson’s new film, Just Another War, meditates upon the impact of the Iraq war on Americans — especially upon American women. Johnson’s film will be shown March 15 at the Montreal Human Rights Film Festival, where it is up for an audience award. If you are in Montreal and can get to see it, please do. It is an affecting and thought-provoking film.
The 28-minute documentary profiles two women whose lives have been irrevocably affected. LeRon Green is a soldier who has seen combat; Elaine Brower is a mother and anti-war activist whose son is in Iraq for his second tour. Johnson puts herself on-screen as well, wondering why she and so many other Americans seem to be able to go on with everyday life while thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died. During the course of the film, she gives birth to a son of her own, and wonders whether he will grow up to find himself called to arms.
It’s true that many of us either don’t have family or friends who’ve been involved or impacted directly by the Iraq war. Lorna’s film appears to be a force that, if anything can inject a sense of what it must be to be family or friends of people involved directly, it will.
Thank you to BlogHer, Kim, Lorna and the other participants for making this kind of interaction available.

Live-blog Event: The Value, or lack of, in Blogging and Social Media?
Filed Under Announcements, Blogging, Business, democracy, live-blog, Media, social media, Writing | Comments Off
Many thanks to Tami Winfrey Harris of What Tami Said for already posting about tomorrow night’s live-blog event, The Value, or lack of, in Blogging and Social Media? I’ll be posting the live-blog frame post tomorrow but here’s what you need to know if you’d like to join in:
Now that a number of prominent newspapers like the Philadelphia Inquirer and Rocky Mountain News have either declared bankruptcy or announced that they are shutting down, there has been a backlash in main stream media against the blogosphere, micro-blogging sites like Twitter and, other forms of social media.
A few interesting articles/posts that appeared over the weekend included:
Chicagoland’s “Come Back to Tell You All …”
and the New York Times’ What Are You Doing? Media Twitterers Can’t Stop Typing in which Meet the Press’ David Gregory referred to Twitter as a “marketing tool.”
The Twitter bashing became particularly intense last Friday when MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer and Carlos Watson spent most of their afternoon segment making jokes about “tweeting” and Bill Maher devoted his closing monologue to blaming Twitter and the blogosphere for the demise of “real journalism.”
After conducting a quick poll of a few fellow bloggers and Twitter contacts, Pam at Pam’s Coffee Conversation detected a healthy interest in holding a live blog discussion on the journalistic merits of blogging and social media.
The discussion is being sponsored by The Political Voices of Women Blog
Confirmed Panelists include:
Jill Miller Zimon of Writes Like She Talks (I’m co-producing the event)
Marcia G. Yerman of The Huffington Post
Joanne Bamberger of PunditMom
Tami Winfrey Harris of What Tami Said
Deb Della Plana of Turn Left on Hypocrisy.com
Cynthia Samuels of Cobblestone Associates and Don’t Gel Too Soon
Sarah Granger of SairyTopics will include:
- Is there Journalistic Value in Blogging and Social Media?
- Was it the Blogosphere or Media Consolidation that lead to the decline of print media?
- Which serves as a better upholder of “the Fourth Estate”, the blogosphere or the main stream media?
- Why is the main stream media attempting to demean the role of the blogosphere and social media?
Plan to add your voice to the discussion.
Also good to know:
We’ll be using CoverItLive live and the event will be broadcast live on here as well as at Pamela’s home on Hypocrisy.com, Coffee, Tea & Hypocrisy.
