I guess I was wearing weekend web-blinders when the Project for Excellence in Journalism started its online roundtable about the future of journalism... Samples of what was said and who said it:

"Recognize that journalism is moving from a lecture mode to a conversational one. Once that happens, the rest flows in a reasonably natural way." -- Dan Gillmor

"Do we really need to cover the same 'big' events? I don't think so. In fact, I've seen research from young people that screams at us to stop telling them what they already know from the internet, TV, and radio."-- Jeff Jarvis who has more to say

"Understand that bloggers are a tremendous ally in driving traffic to an online news site..." Robert Cox

"Now, there is much debate over whether we may soon enter an era of cooperation between old and new media, of original content providers and content aggregators." -- Project for Excellence in Journalism .

From Shots Across the Bow to the RockyTopBrigade mailing list

What: A meeting of East Tennessee bloggers, and any other bloggers who want to make the trip.
When: September 30, 6PM till we get thrown out
Where: Barley's in the Old City
Why: To see what the folks behind the opinions look like
Who: Bloggers, commentors, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, significant others, insignificant others

We haven't had a full fledged BlogFest in a couple of years, and the RTB has grown explosively since the last one. Here's a chance to get to meet the folks behind the posts that make you laugh or tear out your hair. Good food, good times, lots of conversation, at least before the band starts up, at which pint there will be good music.

"At which pint," indeed! Barley's is rumored to have WiFi... but hasn't had it working the last six or so times I've been there. Not that a face-to-face meeting of bloggers in the presence of beer and pizza would have any need to go online.

If you're going, leave a note in the Shots Across blog (not here!) to help warn the establishment of the crowd size. I promise not to require 60 journalism students to attend and "interview the bloggers." But I will pass the word to any student bloggers who read this. (Hmm. I guess I just did.)
