Beyond Broadcast Conference Developments
On May 12th and 13th, the Berkman Center – along with the Center for Social Media, NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, the Project for Open Source Media, and the Center for Citizen Media – is hosting “Beyond Broadcast: Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory Culture."
The conference will take a close look at recent media developments and their impact on public media. Emerging new media tools are challenging existing concepts of public broadcasting and community access channels. Traditionally billed as a counterbalance to commercial television, public broadcasting and community access channels exist to correct the one-to-many medium by providing access, local connections, diverse voices, and viewpoints alternative to the mainstream. New media tools in a way do just that – and more. They allow individuals to create content, distribute to, and interact with communities all over the world.
