So, President Barack Obama just gave a his first big press conference. Frankly, after the last guy, it was just so weird to hear the Commander-in-Chief talking in full sentences and making a coherent argument using facts. Pus ca change and all that, eh? Delightful, however, as this new-found Presidential loquacity was, it was not the most striking thing about this evening’s event. Here, courtesy of CNN, is the running order of who got to ask questions:
AP
Reuters
CBS
NBC
ABC
NY Times
Washington Post
Bloomberg
CNN
FOX
Huffington Post

NPR
Consider it a horseman of the apocalypse, or just the way things are going to be, as you see fit.

Dan is responsible for translating social media research into the analytic and conceptual frameworks which underpin the team’s product and service development. He is particularly interested in how social media has changed the ways in which people exchange information within networks, and the impact that these changes have had on traditionally top-down information systems, such as those prevalent within the health, education and NGO sectors, where he leads RMM’s activities.
Dan’s focus upon health and education stems from his background in academia: He has a PhD in History and, as well as being Head of Research at RMM, he is a member of faculty at the Berman Institute of Bioethics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. He has published and lectured widely on the ethics of social media use within healthcare systems, and is involved in the application of social media in medical education at Johns Hopkins hospital.
Dan likes cooking, martinis, and irony. Frequently at the same time.
