Video on KPBS' use of Google Maps

Posted on by

Those of us that follow public media already know the story of the San Diego wildfires last fall and how KPBS online staff rose to the occasion with a quick usage of Google Maps and Twitter to keep the public informed. It’s a great story.

Now Google, in a lightly self-promotional way, has posted a video starring the team from KPBS that made it all possible. It’s wonderful to see new media folks in the public media world getting some credit. And now you’ll be able to spot them at the next conference you attend!

For more from the KPBS team — and others that have used social media in disaster situations — be sure to listen to the Disaster Relief and Emergency Preparedness session from IMA 2008:

The wildfires in southern California, the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, the bombing in London. Hear the experiences of our colleagues faced with these crises: what tools they used, how they deployed their staff; what collaborations helped them deliver effective service.

Moderator: Andy Carvin, NPR

Panelists: Leng Caloh, Senior Online Editor, KPBS; Peter Horrocks, Head of the Multi Media Newsroom, BBC; Julia Schrenkler, New Media Interactive Producer, Minnesota Public Radio

IMA 2008 Audio: Revenue Sessions

Posted on by

I attended the Tech sessions during the pre-conference, but I’m discovering I probably should have attended these instead. There’s a lot to learn below about building web traffic and making money online. I’m glad we’ve got them to share…

IMA 2008 Audio: CEO Sessions (Day 2)

Posted on by

There were two days of CEO sessions but only the second day was forwarded to me for processing. I’m told one of the speeches from Day 1 was fantastic and was the most-requested audio from the show, so the loss of Day 1 is really unfortunate. Perhaps someone else has a recording to share?

IMA 2008 conference audio posted

Posted on by

For those interested in downloading parts of last month’s Public Media 08 conference in Los Angeles, there’s a batch of audio now posted online on the IMA wiki. I’ll also post all the links in a little more organized and clean fashion here at this site, in follow-up posts.

Though I wasn’t planning on it, I ended up editing all the audio from the conference sessions as a volunteer, and yes, that’s me you hear at the start of each audio file.

One technical note… Big thanks go out to Doug Kaye and the Conversations Network team — their free Levelator program (Windows, Mac and Linux) makes batch audio processing for spoken-word events much, much easier. Highly recommended.

Doc Searls on the future of public media

Posted on by

Back in the midst of the IMA 2008 conference Doc Searls posted a brief, yet deep, article on what he sees for the future of public media (with an open source perspective).

For anyone looking to find a way forward for public media — whether inside legacy public broadcasting companies or in new freestanding nonprofit entities — this listing of core assumptions and tenets is critical to know and see.

My own favorite excerpts:

  • The market for public media will finally become… conversational and participatory.
  • There will be a new business model for public media, based on the ability of listeners and viewers to pay as much as they want, for whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want.
  • Membership will mean more than schwag and promotion payoffs. We will cease to conflate transaction with relationship, and start relating to listeners and viewers in ways that conform to the shape of their wants, need an habits as well as ours.
  • Cell phones will be the new radios and televisions.
  • Websites will become as inadequate as transmitters. That is, both will remain necessary but insufficient means for reaching listeners and viewers, and for relating to them.
  • Archives will be the ultimate killer kontent. … Bigger inventory, bigger income.
  • The end of analog terrestrial television will be a big mess and a wake-up call in more ways than we can name.
  • Brands and reputations will matter more than ever. …they will be enriched or impoverished by the degrees to which they participate in a marketplace sustained by real relationships, and not just by marketing that goes by that name.

But those are just my highlights. Be sure to read the entire article for the full effect.
