Blogging’s really not that new,
Dating back to Thomas Paine;
He championed the
\ncause of liberty
In a pamphlet attacking British reign.
<\/P>
\n

“Common Sense,” which Paine self-published,

\nmodel for today’s bloggers,
Creating a medium for the ages.

That sums things up nicely for the moment (more later about Georgie Boy’s inaugural
\naddress) and also relates to Blogging, Journalism & Credibility<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>, the blog conference that
\nHarvard has been hosting this weekend. (Click the link and listen to a live audio stream of the
\nsessions. They’ve been terrific so far. Although most of the conference is over by now, tune in
\nanyway. The next session, a free-for-all, begins at 1:30 p.m. ET. After the conference ends, an
\narchived audio link will be posted here<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>.)<\/P>

Read about the conference here<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>. The participants<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> include many of the usual suspects — Jill
\nAbramson, Jack Shafer, Jeff Jarvis, Alex Jones, Tom Rosenstiel, Orville Schell, John Palfrey, Joe
\nTrippi, Dave Winer — and plenty of others worth hearing. Thank you, Rebecca MacKinnon<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>, for all the info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
