For those in the Brisbane area: I'll be on a panel at the Straight Out of Brisbane festival (SOOB) this Saturday afternoon, discussing "Media Futures". Below is the blurb for the event - see more details on the SOOB Website. My session also follows directly from the launch of radio station 4ZZZ's Convergent Community Newsroom, which involves my colleague Barry Saunders. Should be interesting!
Media Futures
Sat 19 Aug 1:00pm - 2:30pm :: SOOB Festival Club, 610 Ann St, Valley
FreeWhat are the pros and pitfalls of the impact of digital technologies on the production, distribution and regulation of media? Who is leading the torrent of online content? How are traditional broadcasters responding? What does this mean for authenticity of news media? Will we still have Desperate Housewives?
Featuring: Andy Nehl, Brian Fitzgerald, Axel Bruns, Sarah-Jane Woulahan (chair)
