Our Journalism versus/ heart Blogging panel is complete now we’ve added professor dr. Piet Bakker to the list of four. During a Dutch interview with Marketingfacts, we called it a “clash of the titans” - which it will probably be.

Piet Bakker is professor at the Hogeschool Utrecht and associate professor at the University of Amsterdam. He introduced me, Ernst-Jan, to Communications science at the University of Amsterdam in 2004, was my teacher during my first bachelor seminar in 2006, and sent me to New York in 2007, so I’m glad and honored to have him at BLOG08. He has been blogging about free daily newspapers since August 2004, so he knows his material.

Together with Clo Willaerts (Sanoma), Tim Overdiek (NOS), and Paul Bradshaw (Onlinejournalismblog.com), Bakker will discuss the future of journalism and the influence of blogs. Do you have an urgent question to ask these experts? Drop me a line at ernst-jan@blog08.nl.
