Beyond Broadcast: Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory Culture (13:00)

Billed by bloggers as ‘geeks meet wonks,’ Beyond Broadcast was a public conference to explore how traditional public media face a critical and unique opportunity to embrace participatory, web-based media models, such as podcasting, video blogs and social software.

Held at Harvard Law School in May 2006, the event was organized by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Center for Social Media, Center for Citizen Media, Public Radio Exchange, The Project for Open Source Media, and New York University.

The 13-minute video features interviews with several conference speakers including: Peter Armstrong of Oneworld.net, videoblogger Jay Dedman, Jake Shapiro of Public Radio Exchange and others. The video provides some of the flavor of this event, including the ‘shadow conference’ on Second Life, an online, three-dimensional virtual world.
