This blog has been all too quiet while I've been travelling in Europe to attend conferences in Copenhagen and Gießen, do a guest lecture in Hamburg, and conduct a number of research interviews with the team behind the German myHeimat citizen journalism project [1]. I'll add some more information about these shortly I've now added the slides for the produsage-related presentations in Copenhagen [2], Hamburg [3], and Gießen [4] (the latter two are in German, and also feature the audio of my talks) - and for my overall reports from the trip, see here [5] (AoIR 2008 in Copenhagen), here [6] (produsage guest lecture in Hamburg), and here [7] (ZMI conference in Gießen).
Now I'm already preparing for the next gigs, coming up next week: I'm travelling down to Sydney to speak at the Australasian Media & Broadcasting Congress [8]. This is a large media industry gathering, and I'm not sure they'll like what I'll have to say - my talk is titled "Disruption 2.0: Broadcast vs. Social Media", and builds on my recent article about TV beyond broadcasting in Media International Australia [9] and my contribution to the ABC Digital Innovation Forum [10] in February.
In addition to this, I'm also speaking at an Interactive Minds [11] event here in Brisbane on Thursday 27 November (5.30-8.30 p.m.), about key media trends in 2008 and 2009. Should be fun - register and come along if you can [12]!
If possible, I'm also going to live-blog the Sydney Congress. For now, here's the Powerpoint and a brief overview of what I'll speak about [13]. My blog posts from the Sydney Congress are here [14].
