******* The only thing some journalists fear more than a fast-approaching deadline is new technology. But those attending the ninth annual conference of the Online News Association (ONA), Sept. 11 - 13, 2008, will get a glimpse into the future and learn how to prepare for what's coming next. Through a series of in-depth panel discussions they'll have the chance to learn about cutting-edge trends in technology and how to motivate staff and adapt these innovative tools into the newsroom. These are a few of many topics to be covered at the conference, which is aimed at journalists, bloggers, academics and executives. The conference is structured around several tracks, each offering a variety of sessions. "With more than three dozen panels spread over six tracks, there's something for everyone at this year's ONA conference," USAToday.com Producer Josh Hatch said. "Anyone involved in editorial, design, marketing or advertising will find something worthwhile." MORE ONLINE

Sixty-seven percent of C-level executives cite the Internet as their primary source of business information. That number has increased 37% since 2004, according to Forbes.com, which announced the results of an online study of 639 respondents conducted in January with research company Gartner Inc. The number of C-level executives citing newspapers as their main source of business information has decreased 36% since 2004, the study found. “This study further underscores our belief that the highly desirable C-level executive audience will continue to increase its use of the Internet as a primary source of business information, while newspaper consumption for business purposes will continue to decline,” said Jim Spanfeller, president-CEO of Forbes.com, in a statement.

3. Media Week
Continuing the shift of resources from print to digital, Time magazine is moving to bolster its online video offerings with the appointment of a director of multimedia for Time.com, a newly created position. Craig Duff, an Emmy award-winning video journalist who has worked for CNN, Turner Broadcasting and The New York Times, will oversee the creation of multimedia content and train journalists in addition to doing his own video work, Time.com editor Josh Tyrangiel said in a staff memo announcing the appointment. Duff, who most recently taught journalism at Princeton University, is “perfect for TIME.com as we continue our transition into different ways of telling stories,” Tyrangiel said in the memo.

4. Media Post
The executive turnover and resignations of the last two weeks are signs of the times--evidence of a sea change in the magazine business. Print's primacy is fading, and digital is becoming the main focus of magazine publishers. Much of the re-staffing has come about as part of natural turnover--but there also some white-knuckle voluntary "resignations" under duress. The departure of Jack Kliger from his post as CEO of Hachette Filipacchi was long expected after almost a decade at the job, but it also allows parent company Lagardere to accelerate the transition to digital distribution. Lagardere has made digital growth its top priority, instituting a "Lagardere 2009" plan that calls for 10% of total revenues to be derived from digital channels by next year. Hachette's new CEO, Alain Lemarchand, has been a key player in implementing the plan from Lagardere's corporate headquarters in Paris. Reed Phillips III, a managing partner with investment bank DeSilva + Phillips, said the appointment of Lemarchand was "part of a natural progression, when you have someone like Jack Kliger retiring."

nna Wintour appears to have another reason for being in Milan than the men's shows. The Vogue editor in chief is said to be working on a major photo exhibition to celebrate the magazine she took over in 1988. Letizia Moratti, mayor of Milan, helped Wintour find the right location — the medieval Palazzo della Ragione and its open gallery Loggia dei Mercanti, which is close to the Duomo cathedral, the mayor's spokeswoman said. The event, which is scheduled to take place during the women's shows next February, will highlight Vogue's photography from the Thirties to the Nineties through works by Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton to Herb Ritts, Bert Stern, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindeberg and Mario Testino, among others IF ONLY HILLARY HAD DONE VOGUE...: Speaking of Vogue, the magazine's contributing editor Julia Reed has long been its go-to writer for political coverage — "I did Barbara Bush. She was not into it, let me just say. Andr? [Leon Talley] and I had a hard time styling her up" — but as she recalled in a recent interview, Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential bid was perhaps her toughest assignment yet. Reed, whose memoir of New Orleans, "The House on First Street," was published this week, interviewed Clinton for Vogue several times in past years, including a cover story. "Bill Clinton himself told me that that's his favorite picture of her, one of the Annie [Leibovitz] shots that were in Vogue," Reed said. But as the world (or anyone who reads Anna Wintour's editor's letters) now knows, Vogue's access to Clinton was cut off, either because it was deemed too feminine or too elitist. It was Reed who'd borne the burden: months of convincing Clinton's aides and more months on the campaign trail. "Let me just say, it's not the most fun thing in the world to have breakfast a million times with [communications director] Howard Wolfson," she said. "The man is the most charmless human being on the planet, and I'm sitting there sucking up to him." The original deal, she said, included an interview with Clinton and a Leibovitz photo shoot for the December 2007 issue at the Clintons' Chappaqua, N.Y., home. After thinking everything was set, Reed months later was informed the deal was off. She said she was told, "We already have the women's vote in the bag," and that Wolfson said, '"We thought we were going to be in a bigger dogfight. We don't need you anymore.' This was right before Iowa. What an idiot!" MORE ONLINE
