One man meets the media
In: technology
6 Nov 2009Looks to be a viral video designed to promote the Third Annual Media Convergence Forum, but this piece actually does have a host of valid points. It really speaks to our online, socially-networked media climate and contrasts this against the more traditional media vehicles. Certainly an eyeopener. The stats do seem a little questionable and the sources appear cherry-picked, but for the most part, a highly valid summary of the social media landscape.
Based out of Toronto, I'm a graduate of the Radio and Television Arts program at Ryerson University and, at present, a graduate student registered in the Communication and Culture joint program at Ryerson and York Universities. I'm also a new media creator dealing heavily with internet video delivery systems. I'm fascinated by the idea of user-centric networks, whether they be social or technological, and the ways they alter our social interactions.
