Not New Media, Now Media
Graeme Watson, from the Film and Television Institute has invited me to take part in a panel discussion next Tuesday 27th February at the FTI 92 Adelaide Street, Fremantle. Best of all it’s FREE.
We’ll be discussing the topic: “Not New Media, Now Media” and hope to have as much audience participation as posssible. Graeme has even organised for a live internet connection on the big cinema screen to demonstrate some of the key points.
Other guest speakers will be Richard Giles CEO of the soon to be launched Video Bookmarking site scouta, Kate Rothschild who has a background in interactive entertainment including work at Nickelodean in the USA and Producer Matt Morgan from IN8VISIONMEDIA.
Just to get you thinking, here’s a quote from Andy Duncan UK Channel 4 chief on “now media”:
We’re still talking about ‘new’ media as if they turned up yesterday, when really we should think of them as ‘now’ media. They’re not only here, established and evolving; they’re also immediate and accessible to users in ways that older media are not.
Hope to see you round the FTI …
UPDATE: The talk in from 7pm to 9pm - clearly you are all planning to come!
