Ricardo Salinas Pliego speaks to members of SABEW

Robert Hernandez wrote a nice post about the birth of #wjchat, a Twitter-based chat for Web journalists.
We’re three weeks in .. I’ve found being involved with this group of young, energetic Web journalists fun, invigorating and a little bit exhausting.
Robert is a cool dude. He’s Professor at USC Annenberg. Worked at seattletimes.com, SFGate.com, eXaminer.com. If you read closely, you’ll see that he has a little Web journo harem going here.
He tells our story well: DIY and passion give birth to #wjchat

I moved to the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism in August. My first major project has been to redesign the center’s Web site. We launched this week and I love it.
The goal of the center is to help business journalists and journalists who cover stories with business angles to do their jobs better. The site is designed to help us make the Reynolds Center newsy, educational and a place for business journalists to gather.
