If you're in Atlanta this week and interested in thinking about the changing face of journalism, join Social Media Club Atlanta for a conversation about "how traditional media can work with new media to serve the people formerly known as the audience." It's a free event, and it's happening at WSB-TV Atlanta, which is at 1601 West Peachtree Street NE, from 6:30 pm to 8:00. Two of the "food for thought" questions the conversation will center around are:
- Can new media make traditional content more relevant to the consumer?
- Can they be engaged on a deeper level? Is traditional media ready for the many-to-many conversation?
Full details at the event page here.
It should be an interesting group -- it looks like in addition to individual practitioners, we'll have participants from a variety of media organizations including the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia Podcast Network, Georgia Political Digest, and WSB-TV.
If you're thinking of attending, please register via the event page and/or over at Upcoming.
