Beyond Broadcast 2009: Public Service Media from Local to Global

This year, the Beyond Broadcast conference will take place at the University of Southern California. To find out more and for registration, visit the Beyond Broadcast 2009 site.

Since 2006, the annual Beyond Broadcast conference has explored the evolution of participatory digital public media. This year's conference, titled "Public Service Media from Local to Global," brings this ongoing conversation to the world stage, examining these issues from a global perspective.

BB09 will be structured around three themes: local, global and connecting the two. We will explore the way new media are used on a local community basis, then look at these practices on a global scale and finally consider ways to build lasting bridges between participants across the spectrum.
