Morning New Media Roundtable

Chuck Zimmerman

I am truly such an idiot. I didn’t record my presentation yesterday or the roundtable discussion on the same subject this morning.

I just led a discussion on agriblogging and farm podcasting after breakfast. There were about 11 people in the discussion and it was excellent. I am fascinated by the interest in podcasting on the part of publications, especially when I see so little interest in it on the part of farm broadcasters.

Workshop Follow Up

The Agriblogging and Farm Podcasting workshop is over. I would estimate about 70 in attendance. For some reason I didn’t get any more pics for you but I might find one that someone else took and add it later.

Agriblogging and Farm Podcasting Workshop

Chuck Zimmerman

Hello from Portland and the Ag Media Summit. I’m here in the Portland Hilton, Galleria North room ready to start another workshop on how to blog and podcast.

I’ll probably post during the presentation too and have a summary of how it went for you later.

Andy Markwart Horizon Award

Chuck Zimmerman

Andy Markwart Award FundraiserIn honor of Andy Markwart, former editor of The Furrow, beloved member of the Quasimojo Band and AAEA, who passed away earlier this year, John Deere is creating and supporting the Andy Markwart Horizon Award. The idea is to create a fund over the next couple years from which scholarships can be awarded to students so they can attend either the Ag Media Summit or an international event like the IFAJ Congress.
