How can journalists and bloggers move beyond their tired, circular arguments, drafting the blog form into the service of old ideals and new ideas?
Scott Rosenberg is the author of Say Everything and Dreaming in Code and the founder of Mediabugs.org, a new project funded by the Knight News Challenge.
In 1995 he co-founded Salon.com with a group of like-minded colleagues from the San Francisco Examiner. At Salon, he served first as technology editor and, beginning in 1999, as managing editor and senior vice president for editorial operations. Throughout that time he wrote a weekly column, and later a blog. He conceived and launched the Salon Blogs program in 2002 and led the early stages of the Open Salon project until his departure in 2007.
Before Salon, Rosenberg spent nine years at the San Francisco Examiner -- first as its theater critic, where his reviews won the George Jean Nathan Award; then as its movie critic; and finally as "digital culture" columnist.
As a freelance writer he has contributed to the New York Times, the Washington Post, Wired magazine and many other publications.
