The coverage we received for our work at NAB was flattering and exciting. Our content management system has hit the world, and with it we are now providing local media companies with a choice: their very own CMS, controlled locally, drag-and-drop easy to build, modify and publish, with video and picture editing, ad serving and niche vertical publishing tools all built in.

Writes Cory Bergman, longtime KING-5 web guy, "I watched a demo of the product, and it’s packed full of features. The web-based CMS allows just about anyone to drag-and-drop widgets to create their own web pages." 

Cory was one of many to see the project - and see the light.

AR&D's Steve Safran moderated two panels on consecutive days for the RTNDA. On Monday, the panel on "Leading Change in a Digital Newsroom" drew a standing-room-only crowd. (TVWeek's Daisy Whitney previewed the event, and Broadcasting & Cable's Mike Malone videoblogged here.) On Tuesday, Steve led a panel on "Tips, Tricks and 20 Widgets" - ways to get your content off your site and onto the social web.

NAB was also the coming out for Terry Heaton's new book, "Reinventing Local Media."  Terry proudly signed copies of his new baby here in Vegas. Terry's book captures his thoughts on the media revolution and what needs to happen next. The book was available at the NAB bookstore, and is now available through Amazon. This is the first book published by AR&D Media 2.0. It will not be the last. 

Of course, what's a week without a little controversy? We happened to be shooting video with our little Flip camera when Tim Robbins gave his keynote to the NAB. He made some ... interesting choices of language. As far as we know, we're the only ones who have the video. You can find it right on our homepage. (Which is published, as is our new site, using our new CMS. We practice what we preach.)
