Blogging the Changing Media Summit
Seems like a bit of a waste of time to me, with all the tired talk of ‘leveraging’ this and ‘monetising’ that. The most important thing I can glean from it all is that the old media vanguard seems determined to maintain their status quo and bend the web to their own will, completely oblivious to the fact that they’re hopelessly transparent in their motivations and machinations, and that the web and its users are already leaving them behind. The quality (re: podcasting, especially) might not be there yet, but at this stage it’s the freedom that’s more important. (See also: Tom Coates expands upon and clarifies his comments re: social media, which gives some more context to the argument.)
