It’s been a bit of a crazy first week out, what with blizzards, postponements and lurking laryngitis. But our DC network turned out, and we’ve been making a splash online as well. Here are this week’s highlights if you missed them:

• We kicked off our launch week on Sunday with a lively book salon on Firedoglake. “Beyond the Echo Chamber is infused with [a] proactive spirit and sense of potential, grounded in a subtle understanding of networked politics,” wrote our host, Matthew Kerbel. (Thanks–we couldn’t have put it better ourselves.)
• On Tuesday, The American Prospect published our op-ed, “Where Will We Get the Next Rachel Maddow?” in which we highlight three strategies that progressive media outlets can adopt to succeed.
• Despite the snow, we also managed to pull off an online panel at the New America Foundation, Making Media Work–the webcast is available here. Thanks to all of our colleagues around the country who weighed in with challenging questions via Twitter
• C.W. Anderson also posted a thoughtful piece at the Nieman Journalism Lab, “Institutions, networks, and policy directions for a healthy journalism.”
• The discussion at yesterday’s book party was also quite engaging–we’ll post a video shortly.
• Today, the Free Press featured an interview with me on the book in their weekly Media Minutes podcast

We’re learning a lot from our interlocutors as we talk about the book–watch this space for new insights from the field.
