Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2The world’s largest news organization, the BBC, is reinventing itself for a digital, on-demand age. Rachel Nixon is one of those tasked with bringing TV, radio and the Internet together to deliver big stories across multiple and emerging platforms. Find out why it’s no longer enough simply to write a good story and how journalists can remain relevant to their audiences in a converged world.
Who knows, by Tuesday there may still be some Northern Voicers hanging around, unable to tear themselves away from the endowment lands. They’ll be the ones with the Mac laptops and Kris Krug Fanclub T-Shirts.
By the way, Alf (who’s a prof at the UBC SOJ) has agreed to a blog Q&A with me, so look for that here soon.
lol robert. thx for the cute reference. i know for a fact no one on earth would wear a shirt like that. btw – dontcha know linking makes the world go round? *wink*
hah! I for one would wear one. Hey, love the new site StaticPhotography.com. Nice work. The Pete Doherty photos is classic and it’s got the Krug attitude all over it.
I may have a mini Krug in my household – check out G’s pinhole camera project – amazing results for a first time go.
