Terry Heaton's PoMo Blog   yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian. 06/25/2005 Entry: "My turn at Gnomedex" I'll be heading back over to Gnomedex in a little while, and I'm hoping the rain will hold off until I get there. I'm presenting to this "Who's Who of the Tech World" this afternoon as part of a panel on the future of media. With me will be J.D. Lasica and Cory Bergman. Cory runs the top television news blog in the world, Lost Remote. Both of these guys are friends. I'm going to be talking publicly for the first time about one of my clients, WKRN-TV in Nashville — specifically, their involvement in the local blogosphere in Nashville. When people speak of "the blogosphere," it's usually like talking about "the world." This global context is misleading, for the blogosphere is a bottom-up communications phenomenon, and where is the bottom? It's at the local level in a thousand places. It is a fantastic resource for local media, and I encourage my clients to get involved. WKRN has done that in spades, and I'm proud to be associated with them. Mike Sechrist is the most clued-in general manager in all of television. Time to hit the shower.
