strong>TAKEAWAY: Our contdown to the Power of the Tablet conference at Poynter (June 14-15) continues with Reed Reibstein providing us links of interest to get us thinking tablets. Today: a variety of subjects that cover the main discussion about tablets, and, specifically, the iPad.
Countdown to the Conference: 1 day to go
As we approach Poynter’s The Power of the Tablet conference, I turn over the blog to our Garcia Media intern Reed Reibstein, who will also be blogging live from the conference. Reed’s idea is to “warm up” to the conference with daily postings of essential articles that will help everyone understand the tablet as a new journalistic platform.
Some interesting tablet reads as we get ready to start conference
On to Plan B: Readers have been shy about sending along their favorite links about journalism on the tablet, so, instead, below are some more blog posts and articles that I have found interesting. Remember, I’ll be liveblogging the conference here tomorrow and Tuesday (sharing the social media duties with Damon Kiesow of Poynter’s Mobile Media blog ). “Power of the Tablet” attendees, see you in St. Pete!
