You’re probably heard the news that Civil Beat is partnering with The Huffington Post to create a new site, HuffPost Hawaii. 

Fans of both Arianna and Pierre will be interested in this video of a conversation about the role media plays in social change. The presentation was part of the Omidyar Network conference earlier this month in California.

I was there and can tell you it’s a very interesting discussion! (But long: nearly an hour if you stick through the question-and-answer period. Nuke some popcorn for this one!)
