CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION: WHAT I LEARNED

Still Accepting Letters

First, we must thank all of the conference attendees who made time during lunch or between sessions to hunch over our laptops and hammer out the wonderful letters listed on the right. This experiment feels like a great success.

At the bottom of each letter is a link to a discussion forum, where all readers are invited to add their thoughts on the topic at hand.

We are also accepting e-mail submissions from attendees who were unable to compose letters during the conference. Please e-mail them to feedback@poynter.org. Be sure to include your name, title, organization, and the session you are reviewing.

Thanks,
Mark Kramer, Director, Nieman Narrative Journalism Conference
Bill Mitchell, Editor, Poynter.org
