No posting during two days... due to the Editors BlogConf.Stay tuned!
Be part of the 1st EDITORS BLOGCONF, a discussion between 300 editors from around the world, some of the most well-known “new media” pundits and the international community of bloggers. With citizen media expanding in the U.S., including more than 9 million bloggers, editors-in-chief and newsrooms need to know how they can incorporate citizen journalists into the news process. For live reports of the latest ideas and analyses from the 12th World Editors Forum being held in Seoul, South Korea from 29 May to 1 June 2005, stay tuned to www.editorsweblog.org
The WEF BlogConf objectives are: - cross-fertilisation between editors, professional journalists and citizen journalists - dialogue between the main speakers of the 12th World Editors Forum (Dan Gillmor; Krishna Bharat, Google News; Rich Skrenta, Topix.net; Joi Ito, Technorati and Six Apart; Simon Waldman, Guardian Digital Publishing; Barry Sussman, Nieman Watchdog Project; Andrew Nachison, The Media Center, Susan Mernit, 5ive, Robb Montgomery, Visual Editors) and the community of bloggers. - determining best practices for both sides - building a network of mainstream media editors and bloggers to establish guidelines for the new news process
Most non-American newspapers ignore or are not aware of bloggers. On the other hand, bloggers regularly criticize the mainstream media, their accuracy and their bias. But both parties agree that the democratic process has to be improved and that new digital technologies make this process easier. The time has come to start a real dialogue between editors and the blogging community.
. The list of the 300 editors attending the Forum and the 58th World Newspaper Congress is available here:
WEF is organising the BlogConf through www.editorsweblog.org
The Editors Weblog (www.editorsweblog.org) has now frequent and fruitful communication with bloggers and we debate with bloggers & media analysts like those attending the 12th World Editors Forum.
The Forum will include two sessions dedicated to the digital revolution (Is anybody a journalist? / RSS and aggregators: threats or opportunities?): 300 editors from around the world will participate in these debates.

I am not very sure about this sentence:
"Most non-American newspapers ignore or are not aware of bloggers".
There is a lot of mainstream mmedia blogs all over the world.
In Spain, Vocento group provides a CMS for citizens in his newspaper regional websites. ElMundo.es, InformativosTelecinco.com, Prisacom and other media have begun to publish blogs. And the journalist read and write a lot of blogs.
Editors begin to attend bloggers and to worry about their action and opinions (see, for example).
Perhaps there is not a direct conversation between blogs and media yet, but we are in the move.
