The Wave's effect on the media landscape is going to be a game changer...I just don't know what the rules will be yet.

Google Wave is sure to have a huge impact on social media, and the Google Wave experience will make newsgathering and news distribution faster and more collaborative.

This will be an important panel to see, just to learn what Google Wave is all about.

Powerful, timely panel idea, from proven SXSW presenters.

From what I've seen during my colleagues' testing (google: "site:latimes.com 'google wave'"), Google Wave holds much promise for the future of journalism, whatever you want to call it (Social Journalism, Journalism 2.0+, et cetera).

Should be interesting to see how far Wave has evolved come March.

As of this writing, Google Wave is still a mystery to many of us, but by March 2010, I'm sure we'll all have heard a lot more about it. Robert really knows his stuff, so I'm looking forward to his thoughts on Google Wave for journalists.

I'm very excited to announce that Andrew Nystrom, Senior Producer of Social and Emerging Media at the Los Angeles Times, is planning on being on this panel.

Here's a good profile on Andrew on Beatblogging.org:

Andrew has been out front of a lot of the Times' recent innovations, and he'll be helping his newspaper figure out how to best use Google Wave.

This sounds like a great panel given how quickly the landscape is changing for both journalists and those who consume their work. I can't wait for this one!

Robert: Andrew's good people. He's extraordinarily knowledgeable about the space and he works with a major news organization that'll have to make sense of Google Wave.

Nice grab!

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. Here's my L.A. Times Tech blog colleague Mark Milian's early impressions of Google Wave, based on our limited sandbox testing:

Will Google Wave be ready for prime time in two months?

Thanks for all the comments -
I'm so excited to have Andrew Nystrom on this panel.
I'm expecting one more panelist from a major East Coast newspaper ... and hoping to land a Googler as well.

This ought to be a fantastic panel. Robert's the one journalist I know who understands the world has changed forever for newspapers (news organizations?)and seems to be doing everything humanly possible to keep them relevant.

Robert is a great person to lead this panel. He's been experimenting with a variety of social media platforms and has quickly brought attention to the Statesman's online efforts. Engagement with forward-thinking organizations is necessary to convince other players in the news industry of these benefits.

I like that there's already Wave categories, anticipating what will surely be a major discussion center by March 2010.

Good forward thinking by Rob in proposing a Google Wave session. It certainly has the potential to be the "next big thing" for online news makers. Hope this one gets selected!
