| Event Name | BMA: Industry Journalism in the Internet Age--Can It Survive? | |
| Date | Wednesday December 20, 2006 | |
| Time | 11:30AM to 1:30PM | |
| City | Santa Clara | |
| Event Type | Speaker / Panel / Round Table | |
| Event Area | Marketing | |
| Hosted By | Business Marketing Association | |
| Description | Industry Journalism in the Internet Age--Can It Survive? Panel: - Debra Vogler, Senior Editor, Solid State Technology Magazine - Peggy Aycinena, Editor in Chief, EDA Confidential and EDA Weekly - Ronald Wilson, Executive Editor, EDN Magazine Moderator: Barbara Kalkis, Maestro Marketing & PR News sources abound on the internet. The result is that the face of industry journalism has changed and so has its content. You can purchase commercial and technology memberships to get headlines emailed to your desk, tap into a plethora of blogs, personal websites and wikis, visit company websites, register for RSS, or simply do things the good old-fashioned way and subscribe to your favorite trade magazines. Change isn't just about content, however. The definition of a journalist has also changed. Industry pundits and participants are running their own blogs and sites, with or without advertising, and doing quite well for one-person operations. Companies are running their own trade shows and conferences and publishing news with links to their partners. Some companies even use former journalists to run their online news programs. What's a journalist to do? This panel of trade journalists will share their view of their industry and profession and what the future holds for industry journalism. Panel Biographies: Debra Vogler, Senior Editor, Solid State Technology Magazine Debra Vogler has been a Senior Technical Editor at Solid State Technology magazine since 2001. In parallel with a 20-year career in reliability engineering, she amassed experience in video production and founded media production company, Instant Insight Inc., in 1998. Debra received BS and MS degrees in physics from Marquette University. Peggy Aycinena, Editor in Chief, EDA Confidential and EDA Weekly Peggy Aycinena is Editor of EDA Confidential and Contributing Editor to EDA Weekly, both on-line. Previously, she was Editor of ISD Magazine and Managing Editor of Visual Studio Magazine, both print publications. Hence, she is very interested in the interface between print and electronic journalism. Peggy has degrees in Biophysics and Electrical Engineering. Ronald Wilson, Executive Editor, EDN Magazine Ron Wilson, EDN's executive editor, boasts a checkered career reaching back to the dawn of medium-scale integration, whatever that was. Later an exile from engineering, Ron wandered through the realms of training and marketing before landing happily in the editorial world, first with Computer Design Magazine, then with CMP Media, where he wrote for EE Times. Maestro Marketing & PR As principal of Maestro Marketing & PR, Barbara works with companies and government organizations to build their image and influence in global high-tech centers.
