The first day's keynote was given by Mirta Ojito, author of "Finding Mañana" and a former New York Times reporter. She still contributes to the Times here and there, but now she's also a professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and a mother of three young sons.

We'll post more about her keynote, "Personal tools: Using the first person to tell the story," later this evening. But for now, here's some Poynter Online coverage of Ojito's award-winning and provocative work:

• "When the Reporter Is Part of the Story: Mirta Ojito's Memoir of Cuban Exodus", by Chip Scanlan
• "Advice from Best Newspaper Writing Winners -- Mirta Ojito," by Mirta Ojito (Poynter Online, Sept. 2001)
• "Getting Personal, Matters of Race," by Keith Woods (Poynter Online, June 2000)
