The next Naked Media will be a great one, covering a biiiiig topic to kick off the Economist’s Media Convergence Conference. Dorian will moderate a panel featuring the founder of Craigslist, and top executives of Sony Music, Discovery Communications, and a new Financial Times search engine called Newssift.

The topic? “The Future of Media.” The hour will be packed with as much information as we can get, and Dorian will guide the discussion to make it useful and lively. You can help, by submitting questions. Log onto the Naked Media page now to ask and to get an alert before the show goes live.

In addition to Craig Newmark, the guests are Mark Hollinger, Chief Operating Officer, Discovery Communications; Thomas Hesse, President, Global Digital Business, US Sales and Corporate Strategy, Sony Music Entertainment and Robin Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, FT Search Inc.
