Mojos, dojos & sojos, oh my!

Just finished day one of the Online News Association conference in D.C. Sessions included mojos,dojos and sojos, blogging, the future, where the industry is and where some of the top folks believe it is heading.

We talked about continuous news desks (and the return of the rewrite guy), citizen sites and even heard from the founder of Craig's List.

Most of the day was spent at Gannett's new headquarters in McLean, Virginia--all glass and marble and steel.

The irony of the day was the server at the hotel where the next two days of the conference will be held was down Thursday morning. It sure backed up my email!

Wednesday night had a terrific reunion meal with recent grads Ashley Bloom and Marc Rehmann, veteran alums Nancy Donnelly and Helen Kirkpatrick and DC interns Tina Reed and Lauren Phillips. What a truly impressive group of Spartans! We talked about the business, the changes and the future--and we all agreed not to talk about football!
