Keynote Speaker: Edward Felsenthal |

Executive Editor, TheDailyBeast.com
Tina Brown's new Web site, TheDailyBeast.com , instantly established itself on the journalism scene this year when just days after its launch early in October, it published Christopher Buckley's endorsement of Barack Obama, which led to Buckley's departure from his father's magazine, The National Review.
We will get an inside look at Brown's latest buzz machine from Executive Editor, Edward Felsenthal.
|
This veteran journalist, a longtime editor at The Wall Street Journal, will discuss what role Web sites like this aim to play in the new journalism landscape and how they might shake up "mainstream media" in the process.
