Russell spoke about the growing trend in the media industry, especially with news-media, to consider blogging seriously as a new channel. Fresh of his success at the Qantas Media Awards taking the first-ever blog prize, he spoke about how no one in the iindustry can predict the future as flexibility is becoming the key for survival.
