Jeff is well known as one of the nation's most influential media moguls. He appears frequently on television and is quoted widely as someone who courageously (and sometimes controversially) takes issue with traditional media approaches. His ideas have stimulated a new sector of thinking about how the general public and the media interact--and which drives which. He and his son, Jake, will be talking to us about Blogging: what it is, the advantages, the dangers and how to set up and use Blogging appropriately and successfully.
