« Dictator | Main | "Well, we don't do that to all of them." » April 28, 2005No PajamasLinda Seebach of the Rocky Mountain News has an excellent column today on the question of whether bloggers are journalists. Answer: "Sure, when they do journalism." Seebach - who will be a part of a panel discussing blogging and journalism Friday, May 6 - discusses the role of American blogger Ed Morrissey (Captain's Quarters) in breaking a Canadian judicial publication ban on testimony in a political corruption case in Canada, and remarks: We can only hope that Canadian bloggers will perform a similar service during our elections, when politically active American organizations (although not established media) are muzzled by the detestable McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.Read the whole column and you'll know why I invited Seebach to be a part of that panel discussion, which also will feature Glenn Reynolds, J.D. Lasica, Liz Garrigan and myself. The panel discussion is part of the BlogNashville conference May 5-7 and is open to the general public. People in the Nashville-area media, public relations, government relations and marketing industries, as well as journalism and political-science faculty members at all area colleges and universities are especially encouraged to attend.
