Here is the 5W1H in a nutshell:

  • What can I find at the eDiscovery Journal?
    • eDiscovery blogs, news commentary, research, tools, surveys and private peer discussion groups. The goal is to provide a safe, moderated platform for real perspectives and practical answers to peer questions.
  • Who writes the eDiscovery Journal and who are the members?
    • Your host is Greg Buckles. I am a recovering market analyst and solo consultant/expert in eDiscovery with 30+ years of experience.
    • Your eDiscovery peers include corporate legal, firm litsupport, provider experts and anyone struggling to keep up with our evolving practice area. The market role of all members is manually validated to ensure the perspective of essays, comments and peer group discussions.
  • Where is the eDiscovery Journal based?
    • I home office in Houston, Tx. My writing and consulting focus is on U.S. eDiscovery and Info Governance, but happy to discuss international disclosure and privacy.
  • When was the eDiscovery Journal started?
    • Barry Murphy and I founded the eDiscovery Journal in 2008. It has transformed from blog to market journalism to boutique research analyst before this incarnation as social perspective hub. You can read about this strange journey here.
  • Why the new eDiscovery Journal? Where is the catch?
    • Marketing dollars and covert sales pitches dominate eDiscovery blogs, news, webinars, white papers and publications. I know because I made a substantial part of my income from marketing budgets for too many years. I would not write anything that I did not believe was true, but I was not free to tell every side of a story. So the new Journal is free of ads or paid content. The goal is real perspectives and interaction with you, my peers.
  • How can I participate?
    • Register and join the open LitSupport group. Read an essay or two. Comment if you have feedback or questions. Once you have gotten a feel for the content, you are welcome to submit non-marketing essays or anonymous questions for publication.
