Greetings from New Hamphsire!

Welcome! The Journalism and Women Symposium annual camp is about to begin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

We've got a great program lineup with panels on multimedia, reinventing ourselves, science/environment/technology reporting, the 2008 election and more. We've also got two great keynote speakers, Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz and Drum Major Institute for Public Policy Executive Director Andrea Batista Schlesinger.

We'll be liveblogging the sessions. Fish also may twitter* from some of them via fishnette (that's her twitter logon). And we'll be using the easy Flip video camera for the two keynote addresses, with video available later Saturday or sometime Sunday in the members-only section of the JAWS Web site.

*On twitter: It's microblogging/text messaging/super live coverage. Posts are limited to 140 characters (that's actually less than a text). To follow and/or post, you go to the twitter Web site and sign up. Then select folks to follow... During the conventions, for instance, Poynter aggregated reporter posts under the name DNCjournalists - search for it, click to follow and you can see all those posts.

If you have questions about all this, add a comment or e-mail sandrafish(at)comcast.net

Back from an afternoon jaunt, checking out the surroundings. The big town around here is north of Attitash. Its called Conway or North Conway. North Conway is where the outlet stores are, so for those that come to camp to shop, there is plenty of that to do. But remember to make your auction bids first!!

Found a cute little restaurant on Main St - Peaches - that serves breakfast all day (that is all day while they are open. They close about 2pm.) My artichoke omlette was delicious.

There is a big Craftman's Barn across the street which consists of hundreds of stalls where artists put their stuff and the shop takes care of the selling. Lots of stuff there!

Oh and every where you look there is a moose crossing sign or a moose head!

cheers,
Nina Zacuto
