Social media is not just changing the PR model; it's also changing the way journalists work. Journalists such as Globe and Mail technology writer, Mathew Ingram. A typical day for Mathew still includes researching and writing copy for tomorrow's paper, but also populating the Globe's "Geekwatch" blog as well as his own, extremely popular, personal blog.

With these added demands on his already limited time, how should PRs approach him? What stories are good blog fodder, and what will make it through to the dead tree version? and why should you care where it goes?

Well, the Third Tuesday Toronto group is delighted to announce that Mathew will be on hand to discuss all of this, and more, at the second Third Tuesday Toronto - October 17, 2006 in the exclusive Spoke Club (Gallery Room) on 600 King Street West.

Mathew will also share his thoughts on why he started blogging, the difference between his personal blog and Geekwatch, the current crop of Web 2.0 technologies and his predictions on the evolution of social media.

So, sign up now for a great evening of discussion and conversation with your peers and, of course, one of Canada's leading journalists on how to work with the new old media!

  “ A sound system or a more private room is a must. ”

  “ Matthew's insights were relevant and valuable. Great job. ”

  “ Mathew proved to be a very interesting and thoughtful presenter. I particularly liked the way he treated each audience member and questions offered with respect, no matter what their level of knowledge and appreciation for social media. One concern was that some of the participants took up a disproportionate share of the question period (not putting up a hand, asking several questions in a row or continually asking questions, even though several of us were patiently waiting a turn to ask ONE question). Happily, Mathew was very obliging in answering my question after his presentation. And the people around us also seemed to appreciate both my question and his answer...too bad the whole room didn't get to hear it! ”

  “ It was informative, entertaining and of a definite value -- especially to those us just beginning to explore the world of blogging. ”

  “ It REALLY would have helped if the speaker had a mike on him OR if the room was set up such that he was in the centre with people in a semi-circle around him. It was just too hard for people towards the back to hear the questions or the answers. The energy of the session was lost a bit in the process. This concern mainly because I felt what he had to say was in fact quite interesting and relevant. Thank you for arranging regardless. ”
