It may take a while to convert them, but at least they are discussing and learning. @tania: At the very least, some of the more traditional journalists may have read the event coverage in the printed newspaper ;-)

The fact that so many journalists attended the Open Room session says to me that they are at least interested in hearing what the digerati have to say. And I've also heard wider post-event conversations between the journos who attended and colleagues who missed it, that they'd like to have more such sessions with new media folks, which I think is a great thing. Our aim of the gathering was to foster a better understanding between both groups of people and we wanted each side to have the opportunity to learn from the other. I wouldn't pooh-pooh die-hard traditionalists entirely...it might simply be a lack of understanding. Getting it wrong isn't a bad thing, it's the effort to try that matters. And I wouldn't say that the post-event conversations don't reach their eyes/ears either. They might actually be reading and not commenting just yet :) Actually I beg to differ somewhat.

And the truth is that's fine. It's just like the business world. Only a few are taking social media seriously and those that don't, will sooner or later be caught in a wave that they have no idea how to surface from. Ignoring the problem (or the conversation) does not make it go away, as we all well know. @Claudia, @Mohd Hisham: Clearly it’s the latter. And the truth is that’s fine.

So the TM wants us the citizen (digital or not) to listen to them and nods to their words, but what about the other direction of communications? Are they plugged in to the digital world? OR do they come to us only when they need information that they failed to find from google cos they used the wrong keywords? Or perhaps they're using rednano that isn't trending sites as well as google? From what I hear from the "faces" of the big boy's digital media department, no they are not concern about what we the digial citizens are saying about them. Their main concern is how to bring in money. Other things doesn't really matter. Good point there Hisham.

With the exception of a few journalist, the ones on twitter are the new media folks; so whatever post-event discussions being carried out of over there; will not really reach the eyes & ears of the people who matter - the journalist.
