Interesting about bloggers as experts - the commentariat, perhaps, the 'call-a-quote' file that many time-pressurized journos turn to?

For years I published a transport magazine, somewhere between a journal and a 'popular' publication, as the features we wanted to see written had no platform. Then transport became a much sexier too - in SA largely due to the 2010 World Cup, and have stayed on the news agenda since and moved into the mainstream media.

So would be really great to have an online option for the symposium. Or we get into the UK visa queue:-)

I second Tara, it would be great if we could listen in online.
And I think this is a very timely topic. Prior to last week's National Bike Summit in Washington DC, I participated in a panel on cycling media makers with writer/publisher Elly Blue and Streetfilms' Clarence Eckerson. We talked about how bloggers are considered cycling experts. I'd love to see more bike researchers getting their work into the media.

It would be amazing to have this done as a webinar, too. Any chance of that? Or if not, can you share resources or slides with those of us in other countries?

Thanks!
