Newswatch ecosystem

The digital generation are more conservative than we think with no great ambitions to overthrow big media. That was one of the lines out of Newswatch 06 at BMS on Thursday. Full coverage of the day including the afternoon panel debate 'Who owns the content?' at the AP site. And this from Press Gazette - AOL news portal to become free to all net users.

My favourite moment? The chap who said he didn't see why journalists had to engage in dialogue with readers. Would love to talk to him and continue the debate as I think I might have cut him off a bit. Any idea who he was?

BMS bloggers

BMS student bloggers Lucy Meakin (MA) and Simon Copp (BA) will be reporting Thursday's Newswatch 06 event sponsored by AP. They will be blogging for Press Gazette which has a special report this week on new media with reports by the Guardian's Simon Waldman and a piece headed 'Can you cut it in the interactive era' - by someone closely connected with this blog.

New media ecosystem

How are we all going to live together in the new media ecosystem? Just one of the questions which will be posed at Newswatch 06. See you there on Thursday.
