Rougemont Global Broadcasting - Experiments in Location

I may have posted about this before but I think there is a new phase for Rougemont Global Broadcasting, the name for my YouTube Channel. It has been a mix of local news for Exeter and technologu shows with related issues. There could be more scope to link these to Exeter. The ideas are better known so there is activity in Exeter as well as other places. A few examples-

Learning organisations and critique from Lancaster. I have been to several conferences in Lancaster  and then tried to link video clips in sequence on the campus. The sequence is roughly a tech vision near InfoLab21 , critique near the management school and then public space near the bookshop and library. This has varied as more consumer electronics is concentrated in the actual city centre. Exeter is interesting as the bookshop will vanish officially with the opening of the new central campus. The issues are around whether e-learning should be supported.

Print shows, cross media and the Winterlude  Clips cover both IPEX and drupa, the major European print shows. Also the Winterlude has been on Cloudscape for a couple of years, a period of time between Online Information, BETT and Learning Technologies. Cross Media Live has been postponed to 2012 but i think it could happen anytime and probably should have happened already. I can link to IGAS in Japan and a digital IPEX in Abu Dhabi. But for the UK this is as easy from Exeter as anywhere else. Online Information will include an XML area that could be technology for any form of communication so there will be other UK spots to report about.

eBooks etc Exeter has Waterstones .and an Apple store and a Sony centre. Also HMV seems to be finding more space for Android devices and mobile Windows. The High Street has a wide range of mobile phones and other devices. So at least as text blogging there can be links and comment. Video is sometimes not possible but there can be links to video from other places.  

There will still be local video to promote and record events. See next post on #EX1to4

New York Times still on the story - honest rivals

The News Corporation’s Wall Street Journal has played it straight and acquitted itself nicely in covering its British siblings. But there are yet risks on this side of the ocean. Before he became head of The Journal, Les Hinton was chairman of News International, Mr. Murdoch’s British newspaper arm, and twice testified before Parliament that the company had conducted an internal investigation into the phone-hacking incidents.

In his second appearance before Parliament, he said the company had gone to “extraordinary lengths” to make certain the incidents had been confined to Clive Goodman, who was then the Royals reporter for The News of the World. That did not turn out to be the case.

#ece11 #cms7 network learning and social media hype, questions for Naples @francesbell

Messing about with Twitter I can't find much new from #cms7 but have found more from Salford. Actually it was already there and I take a while to catch up. So probably more from Naples later.

Keynote from Alec Couros claims that there is "hype" about social media. Don't know what was actually said but is the critique / network learning role just to look on the dark side? Is implementation always to be avoided?

http://www.ece.salford.ac.uk/?s=the-programme

By the way Salford tweetpics include an actual Dalek. Media City looks like being quite different to some other university sites. I don't see how some sort of practice can be avoided in that space.

Another question is how CMS is seen in Europe now it is moving out of the UK. My impression is that quality ideas are better supported in EU funded research than most UK work so far. Is there any comment on this during #cms7 ?

Sorry if this is too short and rude. there may be a longer balanced text sometime later.

ps sorry for earlier typo on #ece11

Roy Greenslade and conversation about print starting round about now

Recently I have been in "hello spiders" mode, just sketching words as simple text without getting into where and when. But the Murdoch crisis is moving fast enough to take notice of dates and times. I think the perception of print has changed with the closure of a newspaper seen as just part of a move around television.

Yesterday the printed Guardian Media had a front page story by Roy Greenslade -

Rupert Murdoch's Sunday tabloid lost the plot, but that shouldn't stop a red-top press revival

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/10/news-of-the-world-not-the-end-of-the-story

Most of the content is about the classic history of the People. Quite right too, such history should be celebrated and there are still many Guardian readers who would like to hear it all again. But I think the Guardian could have also covered the background of MySpace or something like that. Can newspaper organisations cope with social media? Do the shareholders in the USA notice such things?

Then I woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the World Service. This usually helps me to get back to sleep but I think it was Roy Greenslade again so I became alert enough to take some notes. Something like - for 25 years tabloid newspapers have been going out of fashion, print newspapers at both ends of the market are going out of fashion fast, people already get their news on the screen, there could be closure or sale of other newspapers.

Maybe something happened between writing in print for the Guardian and speaking on radio for the BBC. But I do sometimes think the print version of the Guardian is intended for people who read print. I don't see why it can't be in print and also quite sensible. Jeff Jarvis manages a coherent article when offered the space.

Apparently the Guardian will redesign the print version later this year. I hope this will be explained to the audience.

Conversations about the role of print continue. Dates may not matter very much, various views can be found over the 25 years or so.

Television and the internet could be the next phase. Do we need to pay for TV when we could talk to each other over web video? Answers vary depending on energy levels and the time of day.

 

introducing will789gb re #cms7 with some questions

#cms7 has started to trend on Twitter

so this post is to start again with an intro and some questions

I fist came across CMS when working as a quality manager and trying to study how learning might happen inside a quality system

Making Quality Critical mnakes it clear that quality is always neoliberal rhetoric so just have nothing to do with it

ok this is just a blog in note form, could expand on request.

so is there anything in Naples that a working manager could a) understand b)implement?

Social media. As memory serves this came up in a California hotel but I can't find much through Twitter on what the content is.

Is it part of CMS7 to reach a public with some ideas? If so, where to find this?

digital media stream has got a Facebook call for papers but not much there recently. will now close to check, maybe more later

my guess, if social media, elearning etc then some sort of system will be involved so quality may be worth a look

Daily Beast puts Murdoch in context, USA media have the history on file

Tina Brown blog, sometimes it seems to me ok just to quote


It doesn't look good for Murdoch. He may decide to push the pause button on his bid and regroup. But those who are betting he will be found unfit to take sole control of such an important segment of British media in addition to all of his other powerful holdings should not forget how he acquired his current stake in BSkyB after he suffered a reverse. He was one of seven bidders for the license from the government in 1990. He lost because the law said no national newspaper could own more than 20 percent of a TV network. Did he give up? Uh, no. He started beaming TV into British homes from his own Luxembourg-based pan-European satellite service. Did the government act? Uh, no. Murdoch had a nice private chat with Margaret Thatcher. Two days later, the hapless home secretary, David Waddington, got up in the House of Commons to say that while, yes, Murdoch might have technically broken the law, that was OK because it was a commercial matter unworthy of official concern.

Newsweek shows interest in UK print journalism - blog on Diana and Murdoch press phone hacks still not much linked to

http://www.newsweek.com/2011/07/10/murdoch-s-watergate.html

An email from the Daily Beast links me to Newsweek and an article by Carl Bernstein. Whatever Emily Bell thinks, there is a benefit in a print publication working with a website. There may not be as much attention in the USA for UK print journalism as UK print journalists would expect. But Newsweek in print should reach a wider audience.

I still think the blog about Princess Diana will get more attention eventually. It may be a long time ago but the official version that some non journalists happened to come by a tape of a phone conversation is worth some consideration given new information..

Bernstein mentions the Washington Post and New York Times and the Murdoch history of strong competition. The USA media will cover the Murdoch story eventually and could be as complete a source as any. So far the UK mentions for the blog about Diana and phone hacks seem to be zero.

hello spiders print shows somewhere this year #hellospiders

this is another hello spiders, working with links that may be anywhere and with no specific time. I have already posted about Cross Media Live, that was to be in London this year and is now for next year. there was a recent announcement of a Digital IPEX in Abu Dhabi. My guess is this will include cross media. In Japan there will be IGAS, part of the drupa- IPEX- Chicago sequence.

www.ipexsouthasia.com

www.igas-tokyo.jp/ -

http://www.ipex.org/

The South Asia event shows attendance by Adobe but my previous IPEX stories mentioned that Adobe seem to be stopping attendance at print shows

http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_sangview.asp?menu=c10400&no=386098&rel_no=1

another story on video

http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_sangview.asp?menu=c10400&no=386094&rel_no=1

http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_sangview.asp?menu=c10400&no=386092&rel_no=1

unfortunately OhmyNews stopped updating the English site just as these IPEX 2010 reports were loaded. So they are not well known. I may be living in the past but still ahead of waiting to 2012 to talk about cross media.

So this is a good hello spiders sort of topic. Hard news from IGAS, India and Abu Dhabi linked to memory from IPEX for a new mix.

There could well be Adobe people at an IPEX in India. "Classic" Postscript has been outsourced from California, not sure how the marketing budgets work out. Someone in India may have their own ideas. spiders, please come back with a suitable link


hello spiders - cms7 critique quality the cloud experimentality models #hellospiders

I am going back to hello spiders, diagrams of words that form patterns as search results or connections

except that they are from different times and places, spiders do not care about such things unless otherwise specified

CMS7 is looking good from the PDF available, but I don't think there is much social media around it.

Previously Experimentality last year the session I was at had a critique take on the Cloud and ways to work from models of online scenarios. I am interested in how this develops but can't find much. The Cloud has dangers but could be useful.

http://criticalmanagement.org/content/cms7naples-would-be-twitter-tag

can't find much on this site re CMS7 , I think it started after a California meeting on Web 2. Maybe the spiders will find this again. But the site is not working as Web 2. Almost nothing happens. there is a Facebook Critical Management site but nothing so far on CMS7 as far as I can find

my interest still quality systems and how people learn from them or not. CMS view still everything about quality is horrible , but I try to review this every so often

15 year time warp for Digital Printer, my future is in the archive #a-pdf-a

Digital Printer has arrived as hard copy and I have found some of the content also online.

Bill Holmes, HP - ‘But this is the same message that we’ve had for 15 years, the need to be proactive etc. What matters is the capability of the sales force to get it over. There’s a disconnect, even if the print shop owner gets it, that the sales force may not.’

http://www.paperandprint.com/cgi-bin/whitmar/news_all.pl?itemstyle=template;mag=dp;show=current;type=articles;nextrecs=5;maxrecs=1

This is from a round table discussion. Variable print is still needing promotion it seems.

In the news section there is not much comment on Cross Media Live, just the dates and the claims. I think that print may have to move faster to stay in the mix with social media. The round table seems to look at social media as just for a younger audience. What the timescale is I am not sure. But talk around Cross Media needs to continue.

Magazines from the past fifteen years or so are relevant. Especially those about print. They rarely suggest there is any rush, but the issues have been explored.

#a-pdf-a is about another PDF archive. Scans may already have been done. Later posts will identify some of the titles and check for existing links.
