WTP 185: Technology and Global News, Committee to Protect Bloggers, and Bell X1

A little bit different feel to the Tech Podcast this week. First, an interview with Alf Hermida, new media watcher, about how technology is changing the way we produce and consume news. Then, we kick off a monthly segment on threats to bloggers worldwide. We have an interview with Curt Hopkins of the Committee to Protect Bloggers. Finally, a music piece on Ireland’s Bell X1, a fine soundtrack to this podcast.
