It’s On: Brummett, Fisher to Debate New Media

Just finished the Daily Debrief with KATV’s Kristin Fisher, and I was, of course, just awesome, thanks for asking.

But I come back with a little nugget that may be of interest to those of you following the dispute between Fisher and newspaperman John Brummett as to the relative merits of new media in the news-gathering and reporting process: The local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has confirmed the two combatants for a friendly debate on the issue at their next meeting (time and location to come).

Incidentally, the dispute got a little national attention today with a link from the Romenesko media blog, a top source for media watchers.

(Thanks as ever to Jason Tolbert of The Tolbert Report, who grabbed the little screen capture shot of me and Fisher you see above).
