A fascinating group of media folks (well, excluding yours truly, who is decidedly non-fascinating to put it charitably), are participating next Wednesday in a "Public Conversation on Web Journalism" at the Howard H. Baker Center (Toyota Auditorium) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This group will be speaking with 50 to 75 University of Tennessee students. I'm sure we'll learn something from them.
