In what appears to be their first attempt at invading people’s living rooms, Google has introduced its latest Windows app: Google Media Server. This tool works alongside Google Desktop to locate media files on your computer and on the web (most notably YouTube), making them available across a standard home network to UPnP compatible devices such as the PlayStation 3. It makes sense that Google w

As if we needed further evidence of the communications sea-change taking place before our very eyes, ABC executives announced today that they have created a new viewership measurement tool – demonstrating just how seriously they’re taking marketer concerns over the long-term effectiveness of TV advertising in an age of decreasing broadcast audiences. According to Nielsen, [...]
The face of media sure is changing. Do you remember when you were growing up, journalists were all alcoholics, DJs were well paid and TV presenters were well tanned.But now everyone can have a go. We're all making blogs, uploading out bits to camera and sending out our podcasts.Why, you're reading a blog right now. I have a podcast you can listen to on the left-hand-side column, and I've recent

I have now completed my three week work placement at Sky News New Media. During these weeks I have learned a lot about writing copy, picture cropping and using a content management system.Although I consider myself more than competant with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Photoshop Elements (used at Sky, I have been taught some nice tricks involving creating borders. There are many picture sizes and it is important to attach the right ones!I have also learned how to write headlines and keep them short. This is a relatively new skill for me, but one I am now confident with. I am able to keep banner headlines to a certain length. I can also caption pictures and source older material to link.I have used a video camera to film outside shots, and have accompanied a producer and cameraman to a tech
High-level animation supports cutting-edge thought with the debut of PostModern Times, a series of shorts, or "info- snacks," premiering on the iClips Network, www.iclips.net, produced in association with Curious Pictures. PostModernTimes promotes a new understanding of our world, highlighting practical tools and visionary techniques for a sustainable future -- think "The Simpsons" meets Buckminster Fuller and Aldous Huxley. The first release, "Consciousness is the Key," features four underground hip hop artists -- Naada, Propaganda Anonymous, 2HL, and iLL SpoKKinN -- and producer euphAmism in an animated music video packing lyrical and graphical punch in a call for global awakening. "Consciousness is the Key" is accompanied by the re-release of "Toward 2012," PostModernTimes'
Today I captioned a picture gallery on Ryanair and then wrote a health article on a report on out-of-hours care.I had some story ideas of my own so I researched the loan shark teams set up last year, but the latest figures were some months out of date, so it couldn't run.I'm also trying to get an interview with someone on my journalism course who's done some interesting stuff...Here is the teenage cancer concert gallery that I captioned yesterday.Here is a gallery of art by the homeless that I captioned yesterday.

I've been working horribly long hours again so the canvasses are on hold :>( - but I'm mulling over ideas on where to go next with them.So, I thought I'd carry on talking about sketchbooks, this time about using them simply to record interesting things, practice hand eye coordination and mark making, trying out new materials and mixes of media - the equivalent of practising scales on the piano and improvising in jazz all jumbled up together :>DThis first one is just doodling but even so is practice at getting soft colour changes.I've shown these before, the sketches were done during teaching - the gourd is in the still life store, the jar we keep the erasers and sharpener in. Not objects of beauty - but they were in front of me on the desk and posed interesting problems with ellipses and r
New media have invaded the internet and have created buzz in the mass media. Blogs and other social media became platforms where ordinary citizens can freely express their thoughts and could be given privilege to deliver news and other pertinent information for the public.In the event such as the Interfaith Rally held in Ayala, Makati City, bloggers and traditional broadcast media joined together for one purpose — to gather Information. Of course, the broadcast media are the most visible on the scene with their huge OB vans, broadcast stage, field reporters and pool of cameramen patrolling the place and covering every activities.So what is this media hyped all about? Its a rally organized that talked about an anomaly involving our topmost politicians and personalities in the government.
Tourism secretary Ace Durano is hip. Why i said that? very simple. Today's new media popularity paves way to his conclusion or perhaps government decision to tap the contents from the cyberspace.To be specific, the agency had chosen the service of Ms. Christine Gambito to be its ambassador for ti US-based Filipina, a new media practitioner and a celebrity of her own via the social site like YouTube. She gained her popularity over her "Happy Slip" channel which has over 4.5 million views as of this writing, and almost 120,000 subscribers. In fact, for just two years of pro vlogging at youtube, she now ranks in the top 4 of the Most Subscribed (All Time,).So as you can see, Christine via her "Happy Slip" channel becomes a viral in advertising campaign and it was a grab chance for the agency

I know it says at the top of the blog that I'm a sub-editor (copy editor if you like) on a weekly UK magazine, but that's not strictly true. We've had a restructure recently – which is how Apus managed to engineer his departure – and now I'm a sub-editor on two weekly UK magazines (although much more on one than the other).I am also spending an increasing amount of time working on our 'web publication'. Since the restructure each member of the production desk has been given 'championship' of a particular 'brand', and I am 'web Champion'. I even have this written in the first paragraph of my job description. With a capital C, no less. And sorry about all the 'inverted commas', but I don't normally use these buzzwordy phrases.As a result of my increasing involvement with the –ahem– w

These days it appears that all CNN and similar news outlets cover are the presidential primaries. I fell asleep after the California results were announced and woke up to a political commentator talking about the state roughly six hours later. Political advertising is everywhere, except for digital signage - a medium that is ideal for reaching voters (I wrote a recent post on this topic).The candidates have found success in leveraging mobile marketing. It's targeting power and timeliness allows candidates to reach people who have opted into their SMS clubs before key events: debates, TV appearances, and, most importantly, state primaries.A January SMS advertising campaign for Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama delivered over one million SMS impressions acro
Been working out some concepts that have been hitting me and gradually coming together...it is still very rough..I tried a few years ago to map time as intervals and corrolate it directly to a person moving in a space. It was intriguing, but ultimately to the artist and semi-scientist in me it was ultimately a dead end. Why? The measure was ultimately arbitrary as one cannot set something spatially that is a corollate between space, location and time in grid space and real space for the reason that the person will move at different speeds at different times and people move in different cadences and speeds relative to others anyway.So...What if the corrolate is instead a sort of non-euclidain geometry....a spherical topology in a sense of what is experienced in time and space and that can
Apparently a blog by Will Sullivan about how high-tech freelancers are being hired to fill in gaps in media content creation and publishing in the newspaper industry has been causing quite a bit of debate.Sullivan argues that a lack of available talent and a mandate for newspaper publishers and others in the publishing industry to continually pump out new media content has created a need that outsourcing to freelancers fills beautifully. He lists several specific duties a high-tech freelancer can easily and inexpensively fill (ie. flash development, design, and data projects, as well as the many online loci where companies and workers alike can find one another.Whether it's journalism you're in or any other field, the arguments on both sides are compelling and well worth reviewing. Just look at the response generated on one site: The Journalism IconoclastOutsourcing any tasks successfully requires a full understanding not only of the benefits of doing so but the drawbacks and dangers

Adherence to the Status Quo: This is another filter used by the old media that hinders the education of the public.When was the last time that you heard,saw, or read a news report in which a "regular" person was asked to weigh in on the issues of the day? Probably been awhile huh? Recall the old-fashioned "man on the street" interview? Why don't we hear from these people who are, after all, just like us? Do not regular people have something to say? Or is it perhaps that some regular folks might say something that the O.M. doesn't want anyone to hear. This is not a question of paranoia or conspiracy; it is a matter of fact. The very day after 9/11, the Bushists had the gall to tell the American people to go shopping, to go to work, to go right on living life as if nothing terrible had just happened the day before. What did the O.M. do? They carried the message just as though this was the best advice ever.Oh certainly the editorial pages were full of hand-wringing over "why they hate u
It has been a couple of years since the old media was forced to look at the impact that the new media was having on the former's bread and butter. Despite my hopes, there are still those who believe that the papers and the t.v. stations have the market cornered for reliability. This is thanks in part to the way that the old media framed the issue; as a debate pitting old on one side, and new on the other.This either-or mentality is a perfect fit for an industry that is experiencing serious competition for the first time. Naturally, it also makes for a bold headline, but is it true? Of course not! The biggest difference between new media and old is the system of filters used to bring the news to us.To clarify for those of you who are not familiar with the process (thanks Journalism 101!); most major networks and newspapers are not primary news sources. They often have deep resources by way of reporters and editors - though many have made significant cut-backs lately - but it is rel

I love HP. And remember, that comment comes from a Mac guy. I love HP for many reasons, one of which is that I’m not supposed to. I’m supposed to love Dell. But I don’t, and I think it has a lot do with the same reason that I can’t stand the New York Yankees. They’re always the best, or at least they’re supposed to be. Just like Dell.
But here I have one of the many reasons why I love HP. I can get a desktop from them that offers me the best of both HD disc worlds. I can have my HD DVD and eat my Blu-ray cake all at the same time.

Listening to the radio or reading the newspapers to be updated with what’s happening to the world is so 10 years ago. Today, internet – the central component of the new media is the musket of the new century. You can access millions of news around the globe in just one sitting.
Business establishments, big and small are starting to realize this. They are opting for online advertising that they are already spending bigger budgets in online marketing in order to increase web visibility. This in effect has made the revenue for newspapers and radio industry more stagnant and crucial. These advertising options have also opened friendly marketing ads for smaller businesses.
The diverse facets of online media include blogging, vlogging, podcasting and SEO. Amongst all the things that can be seen in the internet, these 3 have been the strongest ad avenue for businesses. Blogging and Vlogging have its audiences by leaps and bounds especially if the blogger is well-known. As far as costing

In case you find yourself in Ontario Canada between September 28th and September 30th, you might want to go check out the Podcast and New Media Expo. This is only the 3rd time that the expo has happened, and when we checked it out last year it was pretty cool.

Not really subversion, but if you are familiar with Blogger and Podcaster, feedburner (pre Google days, we still don’t know if anything is going to change), IProng, and all the generalized media partners anyone would want to have, the blogging live from the floor should be extensive and interesting.

The New Media Nouveaux Conference has been a magnificent catalyst for conversation.Geoff Livingston gave an insightful introduction to new media - citing case studies from his upcoming book, Now Is Gone.
He started by mentioning the impact that social media has on today’s society. Being in the Northern Virginia area, the audience is intimately aware of the change that viral video had on the fall Senatorial campaign. George Allen was literally the front runner for the US presidential seat - however, after the “mecaca” disaster, his career is over, the Virginia senatorial race was radically changed (I know I changed my vote because of the incident), and ultimately the shift of power in Congress changed from Republican to Democrat. So yes, this stuff matters.
The main focus of Geoff’s talk was how pervasive social media is on our society and how it enforces a culture of transparency and honesty. It is an opportunity to engage your “community” (Geoff doesn’t believe in the w

Call for Papers: Virtual Sport as New MediaSpecial Issue of Sociology of Sport JournalGuest Editor: David J. LeonardDaily, sports fans throughout the globe visit various sports websites, participate in fantasy sports, celebrate and criticize teams, players, and sporting cultures on blogs, in discussion groups, and list serves, and enjoy immense pleasure in playing sports video games. Each of these media, to varying degrees, embodies what has come to be known as new media, a catch-all phrases that includes everything from the Internet to the Blogosphere to video games, virtual reality, and other examples in which media technologies are defined by increased accessibility, fluidity, and interactivity.In 1998, David Rowe found that Yahoo UK and Irish Search engines offered 4,271 categories and 14,591 sites devoted to sport.

The journal is published by the Cinema Studies Program, School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne.http://www.refractory.unimelb.edu.au/ISSUE THEME: Meta-Materiality: Games, New Media, The DigitalLaunching as it did in 2002, The Refractory arrived on the scene just in time for its titular metaphor to get complicated, with the arrival of 'metamaterials' – artificial composites with negative refractive indices . When a wave phenomenon such as light travels between media, it changes speed and bends relative to the normal: refraction. But with just the right metamaterial, the positive refraction can be negated. The wave finds its stride – the straw in the glass looks straight – total refraction. This special issue of The Refractory aims to assess its central metaphor in relationship to ga
Politics & New Media: The Long Tail of PoliticsExcerpt:"The first flush of this new participation is being played out in sites built for entertainment, social interaction and hobby sharing. However, the potential is being swiftly explored by business. Google has picked up YouTube and Rupert Murdoch has picked up MySpace. ‘Wikinomics’ is the hottest buzzword in business but there is a pittance of debate about its potential for improving civil governance.Recognising the significance of the Long Tail for politics, in July last year Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales launched Campaigns Wikia writing in his opening blog, ‘If broadcast media brought us broadcast politics, then participatory media will bring us participatory politics.’"http://www.newmatilda.com/home/articledetailmagazine.asp?ArticleID=2171&HomepageID=189Alex

I was very excited to find Healthvoices.com: The Medical Blog Network this morning through Technorati (I couldn't sleep and it was either browse Technorati or play Civ IV for the umpteenth time). As I've alluded to in previous posts, the healthcare field can be a lonely place for a geek because so few people in it understand what it is their IT and IS support are trying to tell them most of the time.
