Summary: Andrew Jaspan, who edited The Age, The Observer and The Scotsman before founding The Conversation (http://theconversation.edu.au/), will take part in today's Tuesday Hangout live on Mumbrella. During the video stream - due to start live on this page at 3pm Eastern - Jaspan will discuss how he started The Conversation, which celebrates its second birthday next week. The fast-growing site delivers the insights of academics and the research community to a mainstream audience. It is funded by some of Australia's major universities. Jaspan is one of the few editors from a print heritage who has successfully reinvented himself for the digital world. Last month, his claims that Fairfax Media was effectively merging his former paper The Age with the Sydney Morning Herald were rejected by the company (http://mumbrella.com.au/linnell-jaspans-remarks-are-complete-fiction-136134). Listen to the podcast: The conversation will be moderated by Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes, with questions for Jaspan via social media. Any questions can be posted via Twitter with the hashtag #AskJaspan or on the comment thread of this post. Mumbrella holds a live video stream every Tuesday at 3pm Eastern.
