# Twitterers ponder the new News Media-scape

Lee Rainie's speech at the [Integrated Media Association](http://www.integratedmedia.org/home.cfm) meeting was a [hit on Twitter](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23ima09+rainie). Here are some quotes:

[@EliIngraham](http://twitter.com/EliIngraham): Lee Rainie: "Link love" is currency of trust and goodwill; transparency; aggregate the best related work; seek forgiveness if wrong. #ima09

[@lbraun2000](http://twitter.com/lbraun2000): Lee Rainie: public broadcasting (media) should partner with local libraries #ima09

[@bryanmoffet](http://twitter.com/bryanmoffett): Lee Rainie: disengaged youth are confident important news will find them, via their network #IMA09

[@beyondbroadcast](http://twitter.com/beyondbroadcast): Lee: "Behold Homo Connectus"--different sense of space, time, access to info, co-presence, social networks, play, efficacy, time use #ima09
