Lots of press people in attendance, but I would venture to say that, given the economy in general and the layoffs that have gutted the media in particular, there are fewer now than in years before. There are more public affairs officers than there are reporters, and so far, I have not seen a single newspaper reporter. There aren’t too many live blogging the conference, either, as far as I can tell. Victoria Jaggard appears to be blogging a bit at National Geographic. And Wired science and Discover’s Phil Plait are both blogging from distance, tuning into the press conferences streamed here. Anyone else out there?
