With just over a week before Forum One’s next Web Executive Seminar, Blogging and Policy Organizations, it’s time to meet another speaker. I previously introduced you to Kevin Carey. Now, let’s meet Christine Gorman, a health and science journalist for Time for over 20 years.

From 2005-2007, Christine blogged for Time’s Global Health Update and she now she has her own blog, Global Health Report. As a veteran-journalist-turned blogger, Christine has a unique perspective on the role of blogs within the new media landscape.

At our event, she’s going to discuss her experiences and how nonprofit blogs will play an important communication role as the mainstream media’s central influence wanes. While at Time, she found that her blog became an important way for her to connect with people interested in similar global health issues, explore new topics, and germinate story ideas for Time Magazine.

Particularly useful will be Christine’s tips on how policy bloggers can capture journalists’ attention. While a successful organization blog may command hundreds or even thousands of readers in its own right, there’s still no substitute for having your blog linked from a major media site where your posting can gain additional exposure to thousands of additional readers.

Christine’s talk is sure to be a facinating presentation. There’s still time to register. I hope to see you there.
