ADM blogs

The Media Guardian is doing a live blog from the NUJ ADM in Liverpool. So are some NUJ students. If nowt else, it's a good demonstration of the much-discussed power of blog-enabled 'citizen journalism'.

Calderdale branch secretary Andrew Bibby is representing us at the conference. Let's see if he can get a mention on these.

The opening/preview, with refreshments, is at 6-8pm on Friday 10 March.
