With the end of Campus Plus, he says there's an opportunity to change and innovate.
He says the newswire was the be-all end-all in the past. It was done by mail, fax, then email. Now people can pick and choose. He says you have to make sure the smaller papers still have a way to share. Should bureau chiefs write content? Are there enough people to write that content without them? They all used to do professional development. Regional events give people a chance to hear from those who know what's going on right now. -

Unfinished business: Something that should be destroyed – travel pool. Administratively, it's a burden. For the amount of paperwork it causes and financial complexity, it's worth a couple hundred bucks.
As his last stand, he says get rid of it.
As president, he says he has to show up to be elected. He's shown up, and been elected ever since.
He looks back fondly at the conference nine years ago. -

The data is the 30,000-foot view, he says. It's the big picture. Then you've got the micro level – how big is that farm? How many quarters does he have? That's also in the data. If you can present that micro level to your readers, in a way that relates to his or her own life, that's the key.

Mobile is eating journalism (Matt Frehner)
In case you haven’t noticed, something big is happening to the way we read. More than 75% of the cellphones in Canada are smartphones. Some 9.4 million Canadians check Facebook on their phone or tablet every day. And 34 per cent of you (yes, you) read news only via a mobile device. We’re going to talk about what the mobile explosion means for journalism, and why it’s critical to understand your audience as a group of fundamentally mobile readers. We’ll talk about how mobile-first journalism helps us define the best way of telling a story, for all platforms. And we’ll look at how The Globe has been working through these problems (and trying to make some money in the process).
Matt Frehner is the Mobile Editor at The Globe and Mail. He works to design and build new ways of delivering the news.

The biggest day to G&M's mobile traffic was Nov. 4 – when Rob Ford admitted he smoked crack.They were busy in an editors' meeting, and Frehner was watching TV. Heard the admission, walked into the editors' meeting.They waited a few minutes before pushing the information out. It's important to be accurate, he says.

Here's some more information about that.
In February 2006, the Western Standard published the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons depicting Muhammad. Syed Soharwardy of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities complained about the publication to the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission and a hearing was scheduled for January 2008. On the day of the hearing Levant republished the cartoons on his website.

Levant (missing a couple of words): If you don't like what someone has to say, rebut it. Campaign against it. Ignore it. But to call for the silencing of news you don't like – if you're a journalist, it's like chicken to Col. Saunders. Whose side are you on?

No one here opposes same sex marriage (or will admit to it). Most support abortion, and only a few who don't. The theory of global warming? Shouts from the audience that it's not a theory.
Maybe one thinks the war in Iraq was not a bad idea.
Omar Kadar. Who believes he should be forgiven? Several hands raise. Who believes he's an odious bastard that should have been shot in the deserts of Afghanistan? -
