Blogger/media critic/Northeastern professor Dan Kennedy hosted a panel on the effects of blogging/social media/fancy technology on journalism last night featuring Hubspot founder/2009 MHT All-Star Dharmesh Shah, Globe columnist/2009 MHT All-Star Scott Kirsner, Universal Hub founder Adam Gaffin, and MHT editor Doug Banks.

Listen to hear Gaffin explain what professional journalists and the twittering mobs do and don’t do well; Kirsner talk about his attempts at hunting down a nasty commenter for an Obama-esque beer summit; Shah express bemusement at the silly journalists and their self-imposed limits on what are, at heart, capitalist enterprises; and Banks talk about transforming a newspaper’s business model during the never-ending journalistic apocalypse.
