The Site Chat Show , CQI to Work Foundation

In Exeter it is getting more clear what a site chat show might be. I have started some topics at the Beer in the Castle event a few summers ago. They are developing through the Wild Show on Phonic FM. Some extracts appear online. there is some cosistency around location but time is vague and extended.

So I will try out the format a bit more on London as a site. I was at the CQI last week and went via the Work Foundation. Most quality ideas are covered at the CQI with more energy than anywhere else. The Work Foundation is an extension of Lancaster University where I already have some video clips of a walk that continues ideas from Management theory at Work conferences. ( The Wild show has some limits on theory as a proportion of music, it is essentially a music show, so the scope of the London chat is a bit different) 

There is not much editing on these. I can't find how to show as Creative Commons at the moment. But feel free to borrow this video and/ or reshoot the route. The idea is to edit in discussions. More later on suggested topics. It probably emerges from previous posts in this blog and others. 

 

 

Hello Jeff Jarvis, your homework is to read the print Guardian

Taipei might be the first truly social media novel, in so far as it resembles a piece of social media. A massive discharge of waste matter. Overspill. Underwritten.

Trouble is, I find this is fairly typical ,of the Guardian in print. Not sure how much of Activate will be public but my guess at the moment is that Buzzmachine is some way apart from the actual Guardian as it turns up in newsagents.

 

Jeff Jarvis , journalism as process, activate Guardian

Jeff Jarvis has posted that "there are no journalists" ( see Buzzmachine ) meaning I think that journalism is the output of a process, not individuals however special they may be. 

This makes it a lot easier for bloggers to fit in somewhere. I noticed that OhmyNews never talk about "citizen journalists" . There are "citizen reporters" but the journalism happens with editors and over time through comment and revision. 

So maybe some of this will appear online next week around Activate. There will be talks around being "open". Maybe this will include something about Guardian Unlimited Talk - what it was, how it was destroyed, when Alan Rusbridger knew about the destruction, soforth. As detail emerges it seems that the Guardian prefers social networks segmented into small business, media, teachers etc for ease of selling job adverts. So the idea of one forum with unlimited scope is not part of a newspaper. But this explanation on the end of GUT has always been denied.
