media 2.0

This video from David Gauntlett at Warwick University explains how media ownership, production and distribution are changing. He gives a clear and simple explanation that could easily be used with your students. Interesting - especially if you think about how our NCEA media courses in NZ have been set up round concepts that are in essence not the same as they were when we started using them - there was an interesting article about this in the latest Media Magazine Issue 24 (a British mag from the English and Media centre well worth getting - e-mail rebecca@englishandmedia.co.uk ). There's a media 2.0 forum you can read or join if you're interested.
