A quick heads-up for anyone in the Brisbane region: I'll be on ABC radio 612 this afternoon, some time after 1 p.m., getting interviewed by Richard Fidler about YouTube. Questions we'll cover may include:
What kind of videos are on YouTube?
Who is using it?
Will YouTube change the way we access entertainment/info/news?
How is it different to MySpace?
Are there any censorship/copyright issues?
How do we know if videos are genuine?
What are the potential pitfalls for users accessing YouTube?
We'll probably kickstart with the recent incident where CNN anchor Kyra Phillips accidentally left on her microphone during a toilet break - a file which is now widely available through YouTube...
Update: And unrelated to the 612 interview, I've now also pre-recorded an interview about news blogging with 2SER radio in Sydney, for the Fourth Estate programme. Sydneysiders should be able to catch it next Monday, 9-9.30 a.m.!
