By: E&P Staff "Wonkette" Ana Marie Cox, Slate's Mickey Kaus, and pioneering blogger Dave Winer were announced today as speakers at the Online News Association's annual conference, to be held Nov. 12-13 in Hollywood, Calif.
Cox, the political humor blogger who was featured on the cover of Sunday's New York Times magazine, will deliver the luncheon keynote speech on the second day of the conference. Her speech will be followed by a keynote "Super Panel" debating the Internet's role in the presidential election. Panelists will include: forward Howard Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi, now an MSNBC commentator; nationally syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington; Slate blogger Mickey Kaus; Rock the Vote president Jehmu Greene; and legendary blogger Dave Winer. They'll discuss the impact of 24/7 online news coverage, so-called citizen journalists, interactive news features, and campaign sites.
"We've assembled the most rabble-rousing gang of political pundits ever to grace the Online News Association conference," conference chair Jonathan Dube said in a statement.
Associated Press CEO Tom Curley was previously announced as the opening keynote speaker.
