The Norg: Adapt or you will be assimilated?

Oh, wait—that’s the Borg. Or is it? The Norg (a contraction of “news organization”) is what this Saturday’s Un-Conference at Penn’s Annenberg school will be addressing.

What’s an Un-Conference? It’s an amibitious effort to harvest ideas about the 21st century news organization. The seeds will be an eclectic mix of citizen and mainstream media types converging in a decidedly non-conferential fashion. Read more from Will Bunch.

Come to think of it, that Borg analogy may have some relevance, but hopefully resistance is not futile.

i’m really looking forward to it. not so much the 9a start time though.

Yeah, I’m not so accustomed to the 9 to 5 thing, but maybe I’ll manage an early bedtime on Friday—maybe.

yeah, i have two events and a movie i want to see on friday night all lined up. now, i will have to at least take out the movie. maybe i won’t stay out so late at the second event.
