I’m on the other side of the world at the moment. Will it be possible to watch the event online tomorrow or is it only streaming live?
Thanks,

I would also like the opportunity to watch this online after the fact ... I live in the Mountain West time zone and this webinar falls smack dab in my commute home—and my deadline to collect my son from day care.

Give Raney a mike and some visibility! Can’t see her, and her mike is sick.

Why isn’t the woman speaker on the left side not well mic’d? Creates a poor quality to overall video. Cmon guys, you’re a communications firm! Tech 101. Mic her up better.
Otherwise, this forum very good. Thx.

I believe that there is so much excellent long form content being produced independently today, but there are fewer and fewer ways to monetize it. What do you foresee in the future as a sustainable portal for this important storytelling.
Sincerely,

My question for the panel: How does one learn the craft of long-form journalism, short of teaming up with John McPhee?
