The first GN is due out in mid-2009. The announcement was made at a con press conference, a lovely idea that more companies should arrange. Only not necessarily at San Diego, since everyone is aiming to break news there (and since I don’t go).

One could restrict questions to the press. I have always preferred the National Press Club format: while the guest is speaking, the audience write their questions on cards, which are then reviewed and asked by the moderator. Otherwise, I would hold the press conference in a bar, with appetizers. Why hold a press conference when you can also have the fans (and bloggers) as well. One could restrict questions to the press.
