« EmailList-Managers FAQ | Main | Eyeteeth » Global Voices London Summit 2005 The Global Voices London Summit today gave the GV bloggers a chance to meet and talk about the state and future of the GV web site, including a chance to give feedback to site wizard Boris Anthony and the inevitable discussion of blogging relative to journalism. Dean Wright from Reuters, who was part of that discussion via videoconference, expressed an interest in working with bloggers. Dina Mehta talked about the Southeast Asian Earthquake and Tsunami blog... I'm still reading, there's a wealth of information in the record of the event, and this was just one day (as Ethan commented, it should have been three). Global Voices is important, perhaps essential. The USA is in a state of economic decline, and the developing world is growing. Balance depends on understanding and collaboration, and you won't get the communication to support that from traditional media or politicians. It'll come from ordinary people in extraordinary times, publishing their thoughts and perspectives via the blogosphere. jon posted this at 7:17 PM |
