As mentioned elsewhere, tonight a bunch of us blogger-terrorists are going to descend upon the Atlanta Press Club again to hear about “Ethics and New Media: How the Blogosphere is Affecting Journalism and Business.”

Please join Georgia State University’s Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility and the Atlanta Press Club as we discuss how bloggers are redefining journalism and presenting new challenges for businesses and other institutions. The discussion will be led by representatives of business, journalism and the electronic media. Assurant is the sponsor of this program.

Are we presenting new challenges for businesses? You mean, like, talking amongst ourselves in a very public way about how you should quit screwing us over, a la Comcast Must Die or bloggers telling Target what sucks?

Well, that’s not my primary interest anyway (though if Bob Garfield is at all successful in making Comcast less obnoxious, God bless him). Let’s see what the Press Club has to say this month about journalistic practices on the blogosphere. I missed the original panel on this subject, but they were nice enough to me and Griftdrift during our panel last month. Things might not be so quiet this time around, though, as I know Spacey has a tyrannosaurus-sized bone to pick with one particular member of the local media who has yet to embrace any sources within the digerati.

Point being, if you want to see a journo-media girl fight, stay tuned to Twitter for news of a live feed from the N95.

We can hope, anyway. Otherwise it’s just gonna be a boring hour or so of watching some guy with a Technorati rank of 9 million (wonder what it was before this panel brought him his third link?) fight for attention on the panel.

I made sure not to shave for 3 days and dress for lab work today so I look extra unethical.
