Dan Gillmor, as most of you will know, is a very influential technology writer who hosts an incredibly popular weblog. He had over 3 million readers of his blog last year.
He also happens to be one of the most thoughful people on the impact new technology, such as weblogs and RSS, will have on journalism.
If you’re working in Public Relations his thoughts are hugely relevant. While obviously the effects of new technology on journalism are important for media relations, these same technologies will also impact other areas of the PR profession from Internal Communications to Community Relations and beyond.
He is currently writing a new book called Make the News and in the best traditions of interactive journalism, he is requesting feedback on the book as he’s writing it. He currently has four chapters online and is looking for readers to identify areas he’s missed or correct any factual errors.
Dan is eating his own dog food.
