"WebCred" -- Debates on Blogging and Journalism

Tomorrow, Harvard's Shorenstein Center, the American Library Association, and the Berkman Center will co-host a roundtable discussion among bloggers, reporters, and academics about some of the most heated questions related to blogging and journalism. Topics include changes in conventional media since the rise of blogs, ethics in blogging, and online social behavior. These questions have received considerable airtime recently, both from bloggers and from mainstream media. For more on the debates, check out the blog aggregator for the conference, this NPR audio piece about blogging and the workplace, an MSNBC story about blogs and credibility, and the conference reading list. The conference will also be webcast.
