I’ll be one of several folks giving talks to the North Carolina Press Association on Friday. I’ve drawn a “Beyond Blogs and Pods” topic and have only 20 minutes to cover that. Others will be talking on RSS (David Jarmul of Duke), Podcasting (Ken Rogerson of Duke), Blogs (Chris Roush of UNC). Here’s what I’m thinking (but I’d be delighted to hear from you):
