      As newsrooms and Web staffs prepare to cover the midterms, it is a dry-run for 2008? Entering this political season, with so much of the discourse occurring online, how will news outlets use beat specialists, online packagers and citizens to explain and interpret the political landscape? What are the strategies of shops big and small, from all media disciplines? The panel will include journalists ranking from large international and national news sites to independent sites focused solely on politics.
