I gave the lunch keynote at the Alabama Media Professionals’ inaugural conference, Navigating Today’s Media, last week. My topic was “Why the collapse of the Birmingham media ecosystem is a good thing.”
If you missed it, check out the tweets from my standing-room-only presentation.
My thanks to the attendees and the organizers for a fine event!

P.S.
I've trained myself not to look at screen when presenting. I'm so good, I didn't notice I had wrong slides up yesterday. 🙂
