...To attend this conference: Media as Theater of War, the Blogosphere, and the Global Battle for Civil Society
I'll be appearing on Panel IV: "The New Kid on the Block: Blogosphere and Mainstream Media in Lebanon" along with other fine folks. My fifteen minutes is entitled:
Description: We’ll examine a few of the key events in the blogosphere’s coverage of the Lebanon War. We’ll take a look at how the blogs held the MSM to account – where they had success and failure – and most importantly, we’ll see how this relates to our using the alternative media to get at the information we need to force a more honest narrative, from exposing fauxtography to pressuring the paid data gatherers to release more of what they’ve been collecting.
If you're near Herzliya on Sunday or Monday, stop by and say hello. I'll be leaving Boston early Thursday morning and coming back Tuesday afternoon, so blogging will obviously be light to non-existent during that time.
If you happen to be arround Caesarea please drop by my house, I'll be pleased to host you! Otherwise I'll try to make it to Hertzelia...
Thank you, Pablo, very kind of you. I'll be pretty well programmed I think, but I do hope to see some friendly faces at the conference. Not used to speaking in front of an audience in this way -- at least not in a long while -- so it will be nice to have as many acquaintances as possible in the crowd.
Welcome to Israel. You are of course invited to visit me too!
In the meantime this might interest you.
Thanks, David.
Got any good investment ideas? :)
