These are slides from a presentation by Mark Briggs at an regional conference for the Society of Professional Journalists in Pittsburgh (March 15, 2008).
This document discusses emerging trends in digital media and journalism. It notes that journalism is becoming more global yet local, as reporters can think globally but produce and edit content locally. It also discusses the rise of participatory and user-generated media through sites like YouTube and Flickr, how digital media is exploding due to increased global interconnectedness, communication, and the ability to have ongoing conversations around brands and ideas. Mobile phones are highlighted as a major platform, with over 1 billion phones sold in 2006 and their utility in applications and ongoing conversations.
Presentation to the Scripps Howard Entrepreneurial Journalism Institute at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Jan. 7, 2014.
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of global communication and journalism. It notes that social media is becoming the dominant form of communication, especially in China. This shift to mobile and social media means journalism must adapt, but also presents new opportunities. The document argues that while newspapers face an uncertain future, the core of journalism - facts and narration - will continue. It suggests journalism educators should embrace new technologies, help students experiment, and challenge them to help shape the future of media.
