A little multimedia to break up all that reading:
- Michael Geist: Our Own Creative Land. At Rabble.ca, an MP3 of a recent speech by the Canadian copyright expert on the unfolding creative landscape and the need for a made-in-Canada approach to copyright and user rights. (Link goes directly to the MP3; introductory text is here.)
- The End of Radio. The first of three CBC video reports by Jian Ghomeshi on the changes sweeping through media. (Coming up are The End of TV and The End of Print.) Link goes to the introductory page; you’ll find the link to the video on the right-hand side under the heading “Missed It?”
And, for those who prefer text:
- Setting the record straight … on reporters posting in forums. Steve Yelvington has some wisdom to dispense in the wake of the firing of a reporter who anonymously posted comments to his newspaper forums.
- “Trust in Media” survey adds to data that the erosion of television and newspaper use continues. Ben Compaine finds some interesting pointers to the future in the just-released report.
