Barney Pell has posted notes from two sessions of the All Things Digital Conference. The first panel was Blogging vs. Mainstream Media Part 1: The Bloggers the second was Blogging vs. Mainstream Media Part 2: The Mainstream Media Publishers.
The notes are great. One item that is interesting is the following observation from Barney:
One thought that struck me while taking notes during the panel was that the bloggers for the most part spoke very quickly, rarely finished a sentence or a thought, offered many provocative and personal statements, and contained some genuinely interesting nuggests admidst the volume of content. By contrast, the mainstream publishers spoke much more slowly, in complete sentences (and even paragraphs), were thorough in their facts, offered broad historical context for their statements, and articulated the principles of journalism that have been the basis for their industry. Hence the different style of the panels mirrored that of the media itself.
