PDF 2007 : Is Cyberspace Colorblind? Addressing Race and Class Online

Start: 18 May 2007 - 1:30pm

End: 18 May 2007 - 2:30pm

Timezone:

This weekend is the Personal Democracy Forum Conference here in New York City. I will be participating in what I know will turn out to be a kickass panel. The title of the panel is on this post Is Cyberspace Colorblind? Addressing Race and Class Online.

Ruby Sinreich, of LotusMedia and Orange Politics, is the moderator. The panel promises to be tight with Cheryl Contee Assistant Vice President of IDI.net, Chris Rabb, my blog bro from Afronetizen and Anil Dash, Vice President of Six Apart.

I am really excited about this panel. I know Chris and Anil for quite a while now, have the luck to have met Ruby earlier this year and work with her as part of the advisory crew over at TechPresident and have heard good things about Cheryl's online demographics work.

Words to live by

The most significant element of the coverage that has so rankled the Clinton campaign may be one that cannot responsibly be omitted: her recent win-loss record in nominating contests.

â€œMy role model and mentor at The A.P. was Walter Mears, who recently retired, and he used to say that who wins is part of the story,â€ said Mike Glover, an Associated Press reporter, as he flew on Mrs. Clintonâ€™s plane on Thursday from Hanging Rock, Ohio, to Houston. â€œWeâ€™re covering a candidate whoâ€™s lost 11 straight primaries. Theyâ€™re covering a candidate who has won 11 straight primaries.â€
