Ledes, Nutgraphs, Arguments & Process.

Grammy Award winning Ethnomusicologist  Art Rosenbaum and music label Dust-To-Digital  join me and Georgia Public Broadcasting News today at 12pm EST for GPB News’ first ever Live Twitter chat.  We’ll be speaking about Alan Lomax. 

Follow the conversation by checking out @gpbnews or the chat’s hashtag: #AlanLomax

The chat is prompted by news of Lomax’s archives being digitized and made available for free streaming at Cultural Equity. 

I’ve been apart of Twitter chats in the past, I’ve co-hosted a few with an Internet radio show (Come Up Kids Radio) in 2011 as well. 

But this is still a first.  It’s a first for me, it’s a first for Georgia Public Broadcasting Radio News. 

This is what happens when you allow Internet geeks into the newsroom.

Above is a Storify piece I threw together.   We’re using it to support Orlando Montoya’s story on Alan Lomax’s work with and impact on Georgia artists and history.  

Read the story on GPB’s website here. 

We’ll see how this goes.
