The soundtrack for today’s column is provided by the Dex Romweber Duo and their new CD, “Ruins of Berlin.” It’s a choice slice of rockabilly heaven with several tunes that would fit right in streaming from a jukebox in some blood-soaked Quentin Tarantino epic. Yet for all the retro goodness in the sound, my vision was filled with newfangled digital technology the night I saw the band in a smoky East Atlanta bar. That’s because Dex and Sara Romweber weren’t 10 seconds into their first song when several people in the audience had whipped out their smartphones.
With the rapid development of mobile technology, keeping up with how to use it for news gathering and distribution is a challenge. Fortunately, journalists from all mediums (and citizen journalists, as well!) have Janine and Dave to help. Thank you, Renay, for introducing them and keeping the rest of us informed on the latest and greatest.
Janine and Dave will be hosting a seminar titled, "Mobile Web: Anywhere, anytime - but how" at the LA Times Auditorium, 6-9 p.m. PT on June 18. For more information, visit http://journalists.org/event/onala_2009june
And for more information on their session and others at ONA09, the Online News Association's conference, visit the ONA09 site at http://onaconference.org/
Lastly, if you're interested in the distribution end of the spectrum, ONA and NewsU are hosting a webinar on Mobile Strategies for News Distribution on June 17. http://journalists.org/events/event_details.asp?id=63054
Thanks again, Renay!
