Building on the momentum of this year’s very successful Making Your Media Matter gathering, we’re thrilled to announce that the Center will be organizing the 2008 Beyond Broadcast conference.
Over the past few years, Beyond Broadcast has become a can’t-miss destination for innovative media-makers, scholars and policy experts seeking to understand the evolution of public media in a digital, participatory era. The theme of this year’s gathering is “Remapping Public Media,” and we’ll be using mapping and visualization tools to examine shifting forms, functions and fiscal strategies for public media projects. We’ll also be featuring demonstrations of how makers are using participatory tools like Google Earth to create dazzling interactive maps for public knowledge and action.
Who will be at Beyond Broadcast 2008?
Public Media Leaders: This year’s Beyond Broadcast will involve our partners in a Ford-funded initiative designed to help public media outlets make the transition to a digital and global media environment. Join us at the conference to meet and learn from leaders from PBS, NPR, PRI, PRX, Sundance, New America Media, LinkTV, OneWorld, and many others
Media Scholars: Our planning partners for Beyond Broadcast 2008 include some of the leading research organizations around the country exploring the relationship between digital platforms and the public interest: the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard; the Comparative Media Studies department, MIT; the Center for Media, Culture, and History, NYU and the Annenberg School of Communication, USC.
Cutting-Edge Creators: from games to locative media, social networks to Twitter tweets, new forms of public media are emerging all the time. We’ll be featuring projects and speakers that push the boundaries.
