THE POWER OF PRINT: A DISCUSSION WITH DAVE EGGERS -- Capitol Ballroom Salons E & F

The single-issue, 320-page broadsheet, which includes a 120-page magazine, a 96-page book review and a 16-page comic section, sold out its initial print run of 20,000 copies in a few hours, and continues to sell for $16 per copy over the Internet.

Social Media: There are No Rules -- Capitol Ballroom Salons A & B
Sponsored by The Associated Press
Social media streams are not for the weak of heart. They move quickly, they can be snarky and the sheer weight of the quantity is enough to crush even the savviest of digerati. The dirty secret is that no one can actually keep up with any of it alone -- it's about knowing what exists where and deliberatively deciding when to jump in and observe, participate or curate. This session will highlight some best-use cases for social media as a tool for journalism, offering thoughts and advice on the innovative and successful ways people in the industry have used them to further product mission and do good work.
