Captain's Quarters has been invited to participate in the Brookings Institute forum tomorrow morning on "The Impact of the New Media", which will be webcast live from 10:00 am ET while the event simultaneously will display the live commentary from six leading bloggers:

At this Brookings briefing, members of the "new" and "old" media will weigh in on the ever-evolving role of the press and the future of journalism. The discussion will focus on new mediums and practices in journalism and what impact these have had—and will continue to have—on the role and credibility of the traditional American media. In keeping with the spirit of this event, the discussion will be webcast and will be "live-blogged" by several prominent bloggers. Panelists will take questions from the audience and via e-mail following their remarks.

The panel itself will be moderated by E. J. Dionne of the Washington Post and comprises Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette), Andrew Sullivan, Jack Shafer of Slate, White House correspondent Ellen Ratner, and Jodie Allen of the Pew Research Center. The live-blog commentary will run simultaneous on both the webcast and at the event itself on screens behind the panel -- which may be a bit daunting for both the panel and the bloggers themselves. The participating bloggers include Juan Cole, Daniel Drezner, Laura Rozen, Ruy Texeira, Josh Trevino, and yours truly.

Be sure to check it all out at the Brookings link at 10 am ET Tuesday!
