Hey Kossacks,
Have an academic interest in the things that are being done here?
Have some research that you want to share?
Here is some info on a conference on online journalism.
I think it would be excellent to have blogging presented as a valid form of online journalism at this conference. Of course, I would love to see a representative from Dkos be the one to do it.
Check out the call for papers below the fold. Oh, and take the poll
