Personal Democracy Forum 2008
Note by Geoff Decker:
Not totally sure that I'm using this properly, but I just want to use this to jot down some notes about this breakout session as it pertains to me. I'm doing some citizen journalism for a site called whereIstand.com, which relies on users to post the opinions of public figures on an issue. We have several issues related to this discussion that I'd like to address with some of the speakers:
What effect do blogs have on politics? (doubt there will be much dissension from 'positive' here)
Will print newspapers become obsolete?
How does/will media consolidation affect the blogosphere's ability to cover politics?
The blogosphere's liberal bias/media bias in general
Did the American news media appropriately handle coverage leading up to the war in Iraq?
Should Websites allow anonymous comments?
Should the Fairness Doctorine be reinstated?
Looking forward to seeing this.
