Applying interest in newspapers and the web to magazines and the web

I'm watching the Networked Journalism Summit conference on GroundReport TV.

As a J-school grad and blogger I'm interested in newspapers and what they do on the web, but usually what I try to glean from conversations like this is the related issue of what magazines -- especially verticals -- are doing on the web. That twist never gets talked about as much. Rex Hammock covers it better than others I'm aware of. He's there in NY today.

Later: It doesn't look like GroundReport is covering the conference wall to wall. I'll try to locate a service that is.

Still later: From the chat box on GroundReport:

Drew Geraets: hi, i'm drew with the cuny graduate school
of journalism...we'll have afternoon sessions held here
at the school webstreamed...that link will be posted on
newsinnovation.com later on

Jordan: this is Jordan from GroundReport-- we've had
some technical issues at the Times and will resume our
broadcast this afternoon at CUNY

And

According to a tweet from Dave, there's an IRC backchannel on irc.freenode.net -- join #netjny. I don't get using IRC these days. Why not web chat? Sometimes I think when I see Wikipedia powerusers or developer groups using IRC they're using it like a black box. In this case, I guess it's just the traditional backchannel medium?
