Arianna, Jeff Jarvis, Micah Sifry, Jay Rosen and Lisa Tozzi Discuss How the Web is Changing Politics

On Friday March 28, media innovators converged for a panel titled "How the Internet is Changing American Politics" hosted by GroundReport.com.

The participants, all trailblazers in the world of new media, compared 2008 campaign tactics, questioned the horserace mentality of elections coverage, debated the role of the media and even questioned the nature of truth.

Moderating was media critic Jeff Jarvis of CUNY and the blog BuzzMachine. The panelists were Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post), Micah Sifry (TechPresident.com), Jay Rosen (NewAssignment.net) and Lisa Tozzi (The New York Times).

The crowd itself was also high profile; also present were Dina Kaplan of Blip.tv and Brian Stelter and Saul Hansell of the New York Times.

The sound is poor. Till HP's audio techies can improve subprime audio, how about print transcripts asap?

The sound still is poor & garbled. How about a written transcript now? A few days have passed. Has anybody tried to get consent & copyright clearances yet?

The internet has caused a deterioration to what is considered discussion.
It is all about shouting your opinion and the hell with everyone and facts.
