ASAE Opening Session

Comments Off

Your CP.com blogger got up early yesterday morning in order not to miss the speaker at the Opening General Session – Tina Brown.  She is currently editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast, a news and aggregation website that has become one of the most visited sites since its launch in 2008.

Tina Brown

Last year “The Beast” merged with Newsweek  magazine and together the two outlets combine “the warp speed 24/7 website with the depth, analysis and investigative power of a great print magazine,” as Brown puts it.

Your attentive Blogger couldn’t help but notice several similarities between The Daily Beast and CP.com.  While Tina and her journalists scour the air waves to “curate” the most relevant stories to feature on the site, the CP staff finds the best suppliers to facilitate our planners job of placing events.  In both cases, the sites deliver what the reader needs to know – and nothing more.

More to come…
