Do Blogs Influence People in High Places?

And if so, can they work for positive change in social and government policy? Or are they just another echo chamber for scandal, gossip and rumor?

Those are some things I'll be talking about at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 2007. The event is being sponsored by Forum One Communications, a tech-saavy communications-and-strategy firm in Alexandria, Virginia.

Here's the description from Forum One:

Titled "Blogging and Policy Organizations: Influential Channel for Social Change," speakers will include bloggers from the ONE Campaign, Education Sector, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Time Magazine's "Global Health Update."

Session Summary
What: Blogging and Policy Organizations: Influential Channel for Social Change
When: Tuesday, April 24, 2007, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Where: National Press Club, Washington, DC
Cost: $90 ($75 before April 16). Space is limited.

Christine,
I didn't realize you were speaking to the Nation Press Club. You are so modest.
Good luck!
