rob just gave a fantastic presentation at the uc berkeley graduate school of journalism. i’ve been following rob for a number of years, but hadn’t heard him speak before…he’s incredibly passionate, smart, and actually pretty funny…right now i’m headed to bed, but i’ll update the post when the webcast goes live. all newspaper employees should watch the webcast…

update (3/30/07) - here’s the webcast

btw, for some context…every year, paul grabowicz from cal holds a week-long session for mid-career journalists designed to help them navigate the new media world. the speaking roster this year was pretty extraordinary…i went to lisa stone’s (blogher) presentation yesterday and rob’s (WPNI) tonight - both were excellent…

this is why i love living in a university town…

ps - check out rob’s latest project at the washingtonpost.com - onbeing is a set of video interviews with regular people…great video technology (on-the-fly resizable video) and nice errol morris interview style…addicting and simply brilliant. i just wish i could embed the video on my blog and consume the video directly in google reader. btw, the kid’s interview is hilarious…
