Virtually at the ONA conference

Posted on October 15, 2007 by Melissa Worden

Speaking of conferences, since I already spent my travel allowance this year, I’m quite disappointed I won’t be able to attend the Online News Association conference in Toronto, which starts Thursday.

But once again, I’m so happy I can still keep up on what attendees are talking about and learning. Twenty-one students will be covering the event by blogging, video taping and writing news stories and features.

Also, on the ONA conference’s opening night, CBC news will host “The Future of the Future of News,” a panel discussion that will be streamed live at 6 p.m. Can’t save the date? They’ll archive it for later viewing, too.

Want to talk about the future? Post your thoughts on CBC’s forums.
