Signing off for the weekend: What did the digital revolution ever do for journalism?

Phew - what a week. Thank you again for all your messages of support, which are still coming in on the blog and on Twitter under the hashtag #savegdnleeds.

I'm now signing off for the bank holiday weekend and will be back on Tueday - so do enjoy your street parties etc.

Before I go there's just time to mention the next WePublish event at Old Broadcasting House in Woodhouse Lane. WePublish is a new type of event in Leeds that provides an arena for anyone who creates content, publishes or supports digital publishing.

The latest event - first announced some weeks ago - will bring together some of the biggest names from local blogging and journalism to debate the key issues faced by bloggers, journalists and others publishing on and off-line at grass-roots level. It's called: What did the digital revolution ever do for journalism?

Emma Bearman (The Culture Vulture), Sarah Hartley (Guardian Local) and Nigel Barlow (Inside the M60) will be lead by Adam Westbrook (entrepreneurial journalist and video blogger) through the issues that they and you think are key to present day and future activities online.

Tickets for the event, on 11 May, cost £10. More details are available here.

It should prove an interesting debate.

Have a good weekend.
