ASME FORUM
How Magazines Can Win on the WebInnovative Lessons from the Online Categories of the National Magazine Awards
When: Thursday, December 4, 2008
Where: MPA/ASME Conference Room 810 Seventh Avenue, 24th Floor New York City
Time: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (Continental breakfast available at 8:00 a.m.)
Cost: $285 per person for non ASME members ($185 for ASME members)
For the fifth year in a row, ASME presents a two-hour workshop taught by Sree Sreenivasan, tech reporter for WNBC-TV, Dean of Student Affairs at the Columbia Journalism School and judging leader of the general excellence online category of the National Magazine Awards. All of the previous sessions have been sold out, so be sure to sign up soon.
As magazines deal with the Internet, there's a lot of confusion about what works— editorially and business-wise. What are best practices that can help connect with existing readers and help gain new ones? What are some of the efforts at innovation that are working—and what are not? What can we learn from non-magazine sites that can make a big difference in a magazine's success online? What new tools, software and ideas are worth emulating— and what should you avoid? What makes a site a winner in the online categories of the National Magazine Awards? Answers to all these questions and more in this ASME Forum.
In a fast-paced session filled with what Sree calls "CAT scans" (critiques that look at both the healthy and unhealthy aspects of websites), you will learn useful, practical ideas you can implement right away—no matter what your resources and technical situation.
Magazine editors, designers, publishers, researchers, and writers of all levels of experience are welcome.

Digging Deep for Reporters with Amy Webb, principal consultant at Webbmedia Group, LLC.
Did you know that when you run a search on Google, you're only finding 1/600th of the information that's actually available? Do you know how to look through social networks such as FriendFeed and Facebook to do your reporting? What about Twitter? Did you know that Google will allow you to search for all kinds of hidden documents and other information found on company intranets --as long as you know how to mine for data? There are many ways that journalists can exploit the web to do better reporting. This is an entirely hands-on workshop with challenging exercises. Participants will each receive a folder with personalized handouts and other resources to use.
Pricing: $125.00 for Columbia Journalism School alumni $150.00 for ALL others Registration Deadline December 1, 2008.

A PLACE IN THE AUVERGNE
A PLACE IN THE AUVERGNE
LOOKING FOR A CHRISTMAS BOOK GIFT TO BUY?
"Books about cosmopolitan urbanites discovering the joys of country life are two a penny, but this one is worth a second glance. Walthew's vivid description of the moral stress induced by his job as a high-flying executive with the International Herald Tribune newspaper is worth the cover price alone…. Highly recommended." The Oxford Times
Amazon.co.uk
'I read A Place in My Country with absolute unalloyed delight. A glorious book.'
Jeremy Irons (actor)
‘Ian Walthew was a newspaper executive with a career that took him round the world, who one day did a mad thing. He saw a for-sale sign on a cottage in the Cotswolds, bought it, resigned and moved in. For the first few weeks he just lay on the grass in a daze. Then he started talking to his neighbours and digging into the rich history of this beautiful part of England. Out of his inquiries grew this affecting and inspiring memoir.What sets it apart from others of its ilk is the author’s enviable immunity to cliché and his determination to love his homeland better than he used to. His elegiac account of relearning how to be an Englishman should be required reading for anyone who claims to know or love this country.’ Financial Times
