When Journalism Meets Blogging


(Flickr pic by AAJA-LA.)

Journalism and blogging: Should you put your name on your blog? Should you blog on a topic that your newspaper covers? How do you make money off a blog? Or find people willing to work for free on an online project?

Those were some of the questions asked Saturday morning at a panel on journalism and blogging thrown by the Los Angeles chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association. Franklin Avenue pal Darleene Powells and KTLA's Frank Buckley organized the event, which featured former CNN reporter Carol Lin, former Fishbowl L.A. blogger Kate Coe (who departed the site on Friday) and me.

I know, a panel about blogging, zzzz. But the event was actually well attended, and the audience actually had quite a few good questions. (Darleene blogs more about it here.) Sadly, I couldn't convince the Kid Formerly Known As The Blogger Toddler to take a picture behind the KTLA anchor desk. Ah well. Thanks to Darleene and Frank for the invite!
