I’m trading City University, London for City University, New York to attend Jeff Jarvis and Dave Cohn’s heroically organised Networked Journalism Summit. I’ll be talking about our modest efforts and looking forward to hanging out with people who understand the concept rather better than me.

Jay Rosen has already posted some of his thoughts:
