The document discusses things that bloggers and broadcasters can learn from each other to improve their work. For broadcasters, bloggers demonstrate the value of being personal, having opinions, marketing stories, correcting transparently, participating in comments, and linking to other sources. For bloggers, broadcasters exemplify owning exclusive stories, calling sources, documenting work, and having a larger project structure. Ultimately, both can improve by prioritizing speed, exclusives, transparency, and building a dedicated audience.

Tweet, tweet. Have you heard about Twitter all over the media, but still aren’t sure how it works or what it can do to help your organization? Then this session is for you! For nonprofits, Twitter is a versatile tool in your emerging social media toolkit to help tell your story, build your brand and increase stewardship among supporters. Participants will learn about:
- Getting started on Twitter
- How to build and keep a list of followers
- Twitter etiquette
- Case studies and success stories – how other charities and non-profits are benefiting from Twitter
Media Outreach
These slides will provide you with the tips you need to strengthen your relationship with the press, and maximise your ability to secure high-quality coverage.
Here's how everyone wants you to vote in San Francisco's November 2009 election. Many endorsers have no opinion and don't want you to vote at all. In general, when they do have an opinion, they want you to vote yes -- but that doesn't mean that you should. We found that a recommendation to vote "yes" is correlated with being impartial; and that more exhaustive sources are less likely to recommend a "yes." So what should you do? Find a few organizations that you trust and follow their lead. Or don't vote at all.

Fourteen Things Bloggers and Broadcasters can Learn from Each OtherMatt Baume
Fourteen best-practices that can be shared between new-fangled bloggers and old-fangled broadcasters. These are lessons that I've picked up over the years as I've moved back and forth between the worlds of online and offline news.
This is the final presentation I did in Madrid in April 2010. It's about doing.
Basically it contains an argument against distilling rich conversations down into simple, light messages; that you can bring people into the richer story simply by getting them to do one, simple thing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Fourteen Things Bloggers and Broadcasters can Learn from Each Other
1. BLOGGERS VS BROADCASTERS
14 Things They Can Learn from Each Other
Matt Baume
mattbaume.com
Sunday, May 2, 2010 1
2. Blogger vs Broadcaster
Sunday, May 2, 2010 2
What's a blogger? What a broadcaster? It depends who you ask. So let's define our terms.
3. “Bloggers”
People writing for sites that “do news”
Sunday, May 2, 2010 3
For the purposes of this presentation, when I say "blogger," I'm talking about bloggers who
"do news." *
For example, I've done reporting at SFist, The SF Appeal, NBC Bay Area, Streetsblog, Curbed,
and so on.
4. “Broadcaster”
Sends information out
Doesn’t engage with the audience
TV, radio, print
Traditional offline media
Sunday, May 2, 2010 4
And instead of "old-fashioned journalist," I'm going to use the term "broadcaster." That is,
someone who's really good at sending information out, but doesn’t engage in conversation
with the audience. A broadcaster could be a TV reporter, a radio reporter, or a print reporter;
you can think of them as representing traditional offline media. I've done that type of work
myself at places like the Bay Area Reporter.
5. Blogger Vs Broadcaster:
Which Is Better?
Sunday, May 2, 2010 5
So, blogger vs broadcaster. Which is better? I run a site called “Writers Getting Paid” where I
interview writers -- online and offline -- about how they work, and I've seen advantages and
disadvantages to both. And they both have a lot that they can learn from each other.
I'm going to run through a few of those lessons that I think they should be sharing.
6. What Do Broadcasters Have To
Learn From Bloggers?
Sunday, May 2, 2010 6
First, what do broadcasters have to learn from bloggers?
7. 1. Use “I.”
Be personal, subjective, and human.
Have an opinion.
Have a smart opinion.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 7
Lesson one is the scariest: use the pronoun "I." Be personal. Be subjective. Be human. Having
an opinion earns the trust of the audience -- but only if your opinion is smart. Knee-jerk
opinions will get you torn apart -- if you take a position, you must be ready to defend
yourself from attack, because you will be attacked. A lot.
8. 2. Win Fights.
Proves you’re trustworthy.
Go for what your audience would consider a win.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 8
But that's a good thing! Winning a fight proves that you're trustworthy. You don't have to win
in everyone's eyes -- just in the eyes of your audience. Go for what your audience would
consider a win.
Case in point: SF Weekly and Broke-Ass Stuart had a blog spat last year over whether Stuart
owns the term “broke ass.” When the dust settled, nothing was really resolved, but Stuart’s
supporters considered him the winner, and the Weekly’s supporters considered them the
winner.
9. 3. Market Every Story.
Get pageviews
Get inbound links from big sites
Got linked on SFist
Foster relationships
Put big sites in your story
Sunday, May 2, 2010 9
Grow your audience by marketing each story you write. You'll die without pageviews. Look at
related sites with big traffic and ask them to link to your story. *
They'll be more likely to do so if you've fostered a relationship with them, and even more so if
you mention them in your article.
10. Spend As Much Time Marketing
As You Spend Writing.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 10
Spend as much time marketing as you spend writing.
11. 4. Correct Transparently.
Explain what went wrong
Show that you fixed it
Sunday, May 2, 2010 11
Correct immediately and transparently. *
Don't make mistakes disappear -- it undermines your credibility. Explain what went wrong
and show that you fixed it.
12. 5. Participate in Comments.
Mandatory
Fact-check
Sources
Contact best ones privately and interview
Sunday, May 2, 2010 12
Participating in the comments is mandatory. Commenters can become sources. Pay attention
to the good ones, write to them privately, and interview them for your stories whenever you
can. If they're interested enough to comment, they may have information you can use.
13. 6. Moderate Comments.
Get rid of anonymous
Get rid of conversation-dominators
Sunday, May 2, 2010 13
Anonymous comments do nothing for you. Get rid of them. Get rid of low-value commenters,
too: people who want to dominate every conversation. Send them a warning privately, and if
they don't back off, ban them.
14. 7. Link.
Mandatory
They’ll link back
Sunday, May 2, 2010 14
Citing your sources is mandatory online. Link to other sites as much as you can. Your readers
will love you for it; and more importantly, other sites will love you for it and will link back.
15. 8. Share.
Make it embeddable
Creative Commons
Walled garden with lots of doors
Sunday, May 2, 2010 15
Don't stop sharing there. Make your media embeddable. Creative-commons it so people can
remix it and attribute it to you. You can have your walled garden, just make sure it has lots of
doors.
16. What Do Bloggers Have To
Learn From Broadcasters?
Sunday, May 2, 2010 16
That brings me to part two: what bloggers can learn from broadcasters.
17. 1. Own the Story.
Become known for the quality of your work.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 17
A walled garden can be good if you have a story that’s so exclusive and interesting that you
can own it. Become known for the quality of your work.
18. 2. Call Sources.
Get quotes
Verify
Sunday, May 2, 2010 18
Exclusives are great. You can get them by using this thing called the telephone: call sources,
ask questions, get a quote. Verify what they're telling you.
19. 3. Call Good Sources.
Recognizable names
Sunday, May 2, 2010 19
Always call at least one source. They might have an even better story for you to write. Go for
the big gets -- the recognizable names. Your readers will be more interested if they know
who your source is.
20. 4. Document Everything.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 20
Document everything, and keep your documentation. When Mike Huckabee was quoted as
comparing the children of gay parents to puppies, he tried to claim that the reporter “grossly
distorted” his statement ... but a tape recorder was on the table in front of him, and the
reporter was quickly able to post a recording online proving otherwise.
21. 5. Go to the Library.
History Center on the 6th floor of the SFPL
Bring a laptop and scanner
Sunday, May 2, 2010 21
Go to the library. In particular, go to the history center -- it's on the 6th floor of the SFPL --
they've done half your research for you already. Just tell them what you're writing about and
they'll pull out folders full of past articles on that topic. Bring a laptop and a scanner because
they charge you for using their copier.
22. 6. Be Attractive.
Make them want to look at you.
Photoshop
Sunday, May 2, 2010 22
Be attractive. Your audience will appreciate following someone they they want to sleep with.
Get a sexy headshot, then photoshop it to look even sexier. * Because we live in a shallow
society, this holds particularly true for women and gays. I wish none of this was the case, but
it is.
23. Where Do We Agree?
Sunday, May 2, 2010 23
Now that I've covered the differences between bloggers and broadcasters, I want to touch on
the areas where they overlap -- often without realizing it.
24. 1. Always be First.
Make competition link to you.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 24
Always be first with the story. Be the source so everyone links to you.
25. 2. Steal and Append.
Make it your own.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 25
If you weren't first with the story, just steal it and stick something extra on the end. Now it's
yours.
When I was researching an article on water, I discovered that in 1998, an Examiner reporter
named Lisa Krieger had * lifted large chunks from a Chronicle piece ten years earlier.
Journalists copy, and always have.
26. 3. Constant Sifting.
Newspapers, Twitter, police scanners,
forums, newsletters
Ignore the noise.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 26
Always be sifting through news sources. Newspapers, twitter, police scanners, forums,
newsletters -- sift wide, sift fast, ignore the noise, and focus on the potential stories. *
When I write for NBC, I sift about fifteen hundred items every day. Of those, I’ll turn four into
articles.
27. 4. You Are Writing a Book.
Have a bigger project.
You cannot afford to be writing fishwrap.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 27
You are writing a book. Each article that you write is like a little grant, a fragment of research
for some bigger project. You cannot afford to be writing fishwrap.
I was recently asked to write for a blog that pays $10 an article. That’s not an unheard of rate.
But think about all the work that goes into an original piece: research, interviews, writing,
gathering images, marketing once it’s posted. For $10, you simply can’t generate original
news. If you’re going to write posts for $10 or less, and lots of online journalists do, they
need to be investments in something that can make you more money down the line. If you
write them once and they disappear into the cyber-ether, then you’ve just wasted your time
for peanuts.
28. News Is Interesting
Sunday, May 2, 2010 28
The way we consume news is changing, but the reason we consume news it is not. News is
interesting. People love amazing true stories, and there are a billion amazing true stories to
be told. And we can now tell more of those stories than ever before, which means journalistic
scarcity is over. But it doesn't mean that value is over, just that it's changed.
29. VALUE = BLOGGERS + BROADCASTERS
Old Games on New Platforms
Sunday, May 2, 2010 29
And that new value comes from journalists -- bloggers and broadcasters -- who can play the
old games on the new platforms.
30. THANKS.
