One of the things I went over very quickly in the presentation are what I consider the elements of success for newspaper-run blog efforts. Here’s the list:

• Transparency
• Humility
• Patience
• Resources
• Interactions
• Personalities
• Participation
• Accountability

Of these, I really think Transparency is the biggest right now. Demystifying the news-gathering and editorial process is huge.

I got flickr-ed while giving the ‘15 second recap’ of the talk to the entire conference. I look kinda pompous?
