Join us for our next meeting, featuring a panel on the
impact of technology on journalism.

“Dead Trees vs. Twittering Thumbs”

Monday, May 12, 2008
Noon – 2pm
Council Chambers, City Hall
301 W. Second Street, Austin, TX 78701

“Dead Trees vs. Twittering Thumbs” tackles the
friction between old- and new-school journalism. On
one hand, newspapers and broadcasters are adjusting to
splintered audiences and incorporating digital media
into their craft. On the other, bloggers and citizen
journalists are gaining respect and sometimes scooping
traditional news outlets.

The panel discussion begins at noon and includes Carol
Flake of Newsweek, R.G. Ratcliffe of the Houston
Chronicle, George Sylvie of UT's School of Journalism,
and others.

Following the panel DMC outreach and current projects
will be discussed. Lunch is provided if you RSVP.

Please RSVP to Kristy Bowden, Director, Digital Media
Council, Skillpoint Alliance, 512-323-6773 x105 or
