Panel on "News in Transition," talking about trends in Internet journalism. Left to right, Jeff Birnbaum of The Washington Times, me, Kinsey Wilson of NPR and Ju-Don Roberts of washingtonpost.com, Lou Ferrara of the Associated Press/Sports.

Event sponsors are Newspaper Guild, Knight Center for Specialized Journalism, Knight Foundation, Online News Organization, Merrill College of Journalism -UMD.

Trend among people here--Jeff Birnbaum hired to run washingtonpost.com, John Harris running Politico, Vivisn Schiller running NPR, Kinsie Wilson running NPR.com--all arguably fish out of water stories. Are there tech people asked to come in and run online news operations. Of course you have Digg, Google News, etc. What to make of this.
