ONA conference in D.C.

The Online News Association conference in D.C. was really a lot of fun! The most engaging and entertaining session I attended was conducted by Amy Webb and it dealt with super-promising technologies that may revolutionize the way journalists work and think.

I am glad I am coming back to Ithaca with a full luggage of positive impressions. To bad I could not be at different sessions at the same time.((( The ONA staff promised to combine all sessions into one CD and make it easier for everyone to follow all discussions and talks that happened during those wonderful (and warm) three days.

P.S. I was really happy to see big media organizations like AP, AFP and Reuters at the conference. It looks like the media mammoths cannot ignore convergence anymore and try to be ahead of it. Although Reuters people seemed to be kinda out of the loop...
