E-Media Tidbits

SPJ.org The 2006 SPJ conference is happening this weekend in Chicago.

This Saturday, Jeff South (Va. Commonwealth Univ.) and I will be hosting a session at the annual conference of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Our session, from 3:30-4:30 pm, is: "Technology: A User's Guide to Software, Hardware and Other Tools Revolutionizing Journalism."

Jeff's handout for our session is available as a pdf download from SPJ.

Here is my handout for the session: Top 3 Must-Use Online Tools for Journalists (pdf). Those tools are:

• Furl
• Feeds (RSS)
• Feed search engines

I've also posted the full text of my handout on my weblog Contentious.

...Incidentally, just before my session, is another session hosted by Robert Cox of the Media Bloggers Association entitled "The Good and Bad About Blogging." I'm definitely going to sit in on that one, and will live blog it for Tidbits if there's good wifi.

If you're going to the SPJ conference, I'll be there all day Saturday. Please say hello! I love to meet Tidbits readers.
