Media Dojo

The Knight Center for Specialized Journalism has invited me to be part of a week-long seminar on online privacy and policy. It will take place at the University of Maryland at College Park at the end of this month. It’ll be a deep dive into the Obama adminstration’s technology policy, social media privacy, electronic health records, global privacy policy among others. Journalists will attend from Associated Press, Newsweek, IEEE, Yahoo!, St. Louis Post-Dispatch as well as international publications from Turkey and Angola. Details can be found at this link:

Along with the honor of being accepted, I’m jazzed at the prospect of being able to drill into this stuff on a sustained basis with such top quality talent. I will update more during the seminar. I might even try for an interview or two on Capitol Hill once we get deeper into cloud-based media services like Google, Facebook and others. No worries about me becoming a political blogger. There’s plenty of them around—even after all the aerial spraying.
