The word is out

I was on a panel discussion with Darren Richards of WFMY and Kevin Bumgarner of the Business Journal this morning addressing Leadership Greensboro alums. Interestingly, three of the first four questions concerned blogs, their threat to traditional media and their accuracy.

For the record, I said they aren't a threat; they're a complement and a competitor.

The first question, by the way, was about the media's failure to accurately report the run up to war, not just the most recent Iraqi war but going back to the Gulf of Tonkin. I'm afraid I fumbled that one.

It was good of you to spend your time at that discussion this morning. Good and helpful. I think everyone there felt it was time well spent (for us in the audience, at least).

I appreciated your answer to my question about People & Places (I had no idea it was that widely read), and I don't think you fumbled the question about the war coverage. No local daily can be all things for all people.

Thanks, Mike. It was fun. Great questions. I only wished we could have had more of a running dialogue rather than a question, three people answering. Another question, three people answering.

Appreciate you following up and visiting the blog, too.
