While I was in Las Vegas last week covering the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show, I had the pleasure of being on a panel at Jeff Pulver’s Social Media Jungle.
The panel was put together by Daniel Honigman, the social media strategist at Tribune Interactive and keeper of the popular Colonel Tribune Twitter account. Daniel also writes a blog called Old Media New Tricks with Robert Quigley of the Austin American Statesman. Also on the panel was Kevin Sablan, the leader of the Orange County Register’s web taskforce.

, this was a fun discussion. We touched on the usual topics of page views vs. quality journalism, using social media to connect with readers, support from the higher ups and of course, curmudgeons vs. new school.
Unlike previous panels I’ve spoke on, the majority of the people in the audience were not journalists, so it was fun to hear what people outside of the business wanted to know about how we do our jobs and how that is changing.
Below is video of our panel. It cuts off a few minutes early because my Flip Mino HD ran out of space. I know Daniel recorded it too, so maybe his video has the last few minutes.
The guy standing with his back turned to the camera at the beginning talking about Sam Zell is Jeff Pulver. Enjoy!
