This conversation, I believe, is talking a few levels above those it’s talking about. It’s not this complicated. This is an age of interactivity. Everything must allow for a staggering amount of user control. Computers come in different colors, telephones plan your schedule, palm pilots play your music and so forth. The critical part of […]
A relaxed dinner at an unexpectedly fancy restaurant with fellow conference participants. Then hanging out in the bar with waves of other attendees coming back from their dinners. A collection of comments on the day: –I’m tired of talking about media vs. blogs–that derailed other points at the conference. –Are we stuck on this topic […]
(the following post was given to me by Chris Waddle, VP/News of The Anniston Star and President of The Ayers Family Institute for Community Journalism. He can be reached at chris_36207 at hotmail.com Good as this conference is, Mediamorphosis neglects the beauty of community journalism. Heartland media – print and broadcast – present a ready […]
It’s eeearly. There aren’t many people in the conference salon yet. They’re playing silly neutral music, people are checking email, munching/drinking a little breakfast, setting up. Speculating more about Media Minds Meld yesterday afternoon (my earlier post)… Maybe the WebIQ brainstorming sessions aren’t such a new media thing – brainstorming is a part of old […]

There is so much information out there, so many sources and people hasn’t got a chance trying to sort out, which is to be trusted.

But I […]
Terrific, thoughtful post by Len Witt on his own blog. Some excerpts: “So here I am at the MediaMorphosis conference, but got shut out in getting a comment made that I wanted to make. So what, I’ll just blog it here, which represents the power of who has control, the official moderator or the individual […]
During the “Disruption and Disorientation” session this morning, I wrote down as much as I could about what was said. It’s sort of a rough transcript, with my brief comments interspersed: http://jeweledplatypus.org/britta/disruption-discussion.txt. The audio from the session is also available online.
This quote is from Elizabeth Osder who many will know from her days at the NYT. Sorry for the length, but I can not just post a link to http://www.inma.org, because the cover article to the March Issue of IDEA is behind a member wall. However, maybe it inspires participants to push product innovation – […]
Len Apcar and NYTimes on reporter bloggers… he says that the NYT brand is both a blessing and a curse, and so they are cautious with blogs. But there are other ways to see what happens with news organizations. As a point of contrast, check out this NYT reporter’s personal blog. This is on one […]
