| Not everyone can go to the 2012 Online News Association Conference, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from ONA12. |
The 2012 Online News Association Conference, happening in San Francisco through Saturday, features the likes of Liz Heron, Wall Street Journal social media and engagement director, and Juana Summers, a Politico national reporter -- and 2009 Missouri School of Journalism graduate -- who's been following around GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan.
In other words, Thursday marks the start of three heavenly days.
And of course, you're not going.
Well, neither am I. But there's still something you can do: scan the conference schedule. Maybe that sounds boring, but if you take five minutes, you might read about a session that intrigues you. Maybe something you want to learn about on your own. It's not necessary to fly west to learn data journalism, you know.
(For the record, ONA will livestream some parts of the conference. You should also follow the #ONA12 hashtag.)
