Ken Sands, online publisher at the Spokesman-Review, is one of The Media Center's new guest contributors for morph. His paper is beginning to experiment with participatory media, such as recruiting citizen ombudsmen and inviting the public into their morning and afternoon news meetings. I wanted to give this forum a heads-up, because Ken is looking for advice and comments as his paper embarks on this grand adventure, which he talks about in his first post.

And if you're a Trekkie, please note that we'll be visiting the Integrated Media Systems Center, part of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where researchers will lead our group in a look at what's next in a world of ubiquitous broadband communications. I was told to seriously think Enterprise holodeck...

As some of you may know, The Media Center is a think tank dedicated to helping create a better informed society in a connected world. One of our activities, which we don’t get to do as often as we’d like, is presenting FREE online programs that explore critical issues at the intersection of media, technology and society.

Our next free webcast will take place March 9. I urge you to participate, as well as tell your colleagues, especially those in print journalism or those concerned with the enduring value of journalism in democratic societies.

Here’s the information:

FREE Webcast: The Vanishing Newspaper: Survival and Public Service in the Age of We Media

March 9, 2005, 2:00-3:30 ET, online.

The Media Center will take a good, hard look at the newspaper-business model and its viability in a digital world. How can historic mass-media institutions use new communications trends and tools to once again take possession of credibility and public service, replant them in journalism's firmament, and transform themselves into vibrant 21st-century media enterprises?

This online event will be lead by Jeff Jarvis, well-known blogger and president of Advance.net. Panelists are:

* Phil Meyer, Knight Chair in Journalism, UNC, Chapel Hill; author of The Vanishing Newspaper: Saving Journalism in the Information Age
* Stefan Dill, Online Editor, freenewmexican.com
* Mary Lou Fulton, Publisher, northwestvoice.com, the Bakersfield Californian
* Tim Porter, newspaper analyst and blogger

Media Center webcasts are free, designed to allow anyone to participate. We love them because they give us the chance to engage people we don’t normally see at our real-world events. We are particularly happy to see international participants who may be looking at similar issues where they are, who are able to bring insights and perspectives shaped by their unique circumstances.

Technology is driving or enabling profound changes in how individuals access, assess and respond to information. These changes, and emerging technologies that will propel them further, are visible now.
We see the mobile lifestyle becoming dominant in Asia and Northern Europe; around the world we see online news, social networks, blogs and other forms of participatory journalism challenging newspapers, television and all forms of traditional media – both for revenue and for audience time and influence on consumer purchasing decisions.
