Michael Rosenblum was the keynote speaker at last week’s Public Media Conference. He was certainly a highlight of what turned out to be a week of great moments in Boston. Dennis Haarsager, whose Technology 360 blog is a must-read, dug up Rosenblum’s blog about his keynote:
Once newspapers, magazines, radio and TV all move to a [...]

Scott Anthony, President, Innosight, was one of the speaker at the CEO Seminar on Tuesday. Innosight was founded by Clayton Christensen, who is perhaps best known for his book, “The Innovator’s Dilemma.”
What follows are my somewhat fleshed out notes from Scott’s presentation:
He warned us that many of the advantages we feel we have in our [...]

IMA has posted a notice that audio from the conference will be available soon. You can also watch for it on ITConversations, and while you’re there, register and dig into the gigs and gigs of great content that Doug Kaye and his team have assembled. At the top of my personal queue, a talk about [...]

After the close of this year’s Public Media Conference, a few of the more immediately apparent observations and take-aways:

IMA put on one hell of a conference. There was a high caliber roster of presenters from both inside and outside the system. What’s especially notable is the number of outside presenters - Doc Searls, Jeremy Allaire, [...]

Want to know what it is? What it ain’t? How it works? The tools, gadgets, gizmos? The Social Media 101 wiki entry that Andy Carvin and Brendan Greeley created is really excellent, if you’d like to get acquainted with some of what’s out there.

Last year it seemed like it took forever before on-demand audio from the Public Media Conference was available on the site. This year, it’s likely to be available more quickly. (Having live streaming this year was a GREAT thing.)
But available now - yesterday’s conversation between Doc Searls and Dave Winer. The podcast is here. The [...]

Before I get to my notes, I gotta say, it was the coolest thing yet to have Doc Searls here all week; not just popping in and out for a session, but for the entire week of the conference. He referred to the past week - his time at NPR for the 2.0 discussions, and [...]

Moderator: Jake Shapiro, Exec Dir, PRX

Jake talked about public media understanding its larger role in the community - we’re more than a public radio station.

Social media is under-hyped. What is driving it and why are audiences growing so quickly? What is public media’s role? The true potential is the knowledge of each individual on one or more of thousands of subject; social media connects those individuals to each other and the aggregate knowledge created is immensely valuable.
What [...]

Brendan Greeley and Andy Carvin are back, with the second part of the Social Media session. This session is devoted more to the nuts and bolts of the tools. The following are my not-so-spruced up notes.
Blogging Tools
Brendan and Andy talked about both Wordpress and Movable Type software - the hosted and software versions. Radio Open [...]

Andy Carvin and Brendan Greeley are giving a broad, deep, speedy demonstration of the power of social media and the tools that are available - from blogs, to RSS to tags. This is one of those sessions that everyone in public media should watch. The room is full, and there are a fair number of [...]

A note from the keynote this morning from Michael Rosenblum: he gave a compelling account of the changes in the media landscape, as a result of the Internet, cheap, high quality video cameras, and cheap software for editing. He reminded us we need to set the standard of excellence online. Not earth-shattering but when you [...]
