The Media is Dead, Long Live the Media! 

 

May 1st-3rd - new media gathering on Raven's Ait Island. 

The imminent commercial collapse of mainstream media, and its replacement by PR-driven news, threatens the journalistic integrity and independence necessary for a free society. The next generation could be without the 4th Estate. And new media has not yet realized its potential to fill this space.

End of Branding as core to our socierty

Good post from Fred Wilson about how brands are undermined by people2people networks and how these networks move into our pockets via mobile phones. The need for brands and the lowest denominator service they provide is vanishing. Music, News, TV and film, the digitalization of common goods is proving a far-reaching revolution in our society.

We invite:

The conference will concentrate on the audio-visual side of media, with space for break-out groups for print, radio and web.  

The space: an eco-conference centre on an island in the Thames 25 mins by train from central London. http://ravensait.org.uk

We have a large hall, a cinema room, and 3 conference rooms. There is basic crash space for 40 people over the weekend. The conference will be run on an “un-conference” format, and will be funded by contributions for the space and meals over the weekend.

  • Networking London Video Activist (From experience people who go and film at a protest or other event do not necessarily have the time to edit the footage and vice versa. Setting up a network could allow people to cooperate on films, swap footage etc. This could also be the start for making a longer documentary about the G20, if there is enough interest.)

  • Making the most of the psychological impact of your media
