Many critics were now gone due to newspaper layoffs, more bloggers were in the room, and many people had laptops open to live-blog or Twitter the sessions.

The old workflow — critics preview the networks’ TV shows, interview the stars and withhold coverage until later in the year — was now obsolete. In its place was a new workflow. Critics now would have the biggest news from the press tour posted to their Twitter feeds and blogs and only run longer stories in print that happened outside the ballroom.

Good discussion of WORKFLOW and how tools change workflow as well as who are the workers.
