In July 2008, AlertNet hosted a blogging workshop at its London headquarters to help aid workers get to grips with the brave new world of blogging. The session kicked off with a discussion by a panel of experts from the media and non-profit sector:

  • Shane Richmond, Telegraph Communities Editor
  • Pete Cranston, former Oxfam Interactive Media Advisor
  • Neha Viswanathan, Global Voices Regional Editor for South Asia
  • Mark Jones, Reuters Community Editor

    Here are edited highlights of the discussion.
