Editor's Notes
- So video didn’t kill the radio star – the Internet will not kill broadcasting – but in a networked society people will have more connected devices and they will want content on them.
- But look at what people are doing while they are using legacy media. You can see that the trend towards second screen and mutl-media consumption is growing – what are you doing to serve that interest? You certainly have to customise content to fit these new devices but do you connect content between them?
- Here’s a family: What are they looking at? [ASK THE AUDIENCE] What are they doing with it? Why are they doing it? Is it a good or bad thing that they are all looking at a screen instead of talking to each other? The technology allows them to do this, but what motivates them and how do they use it? How does it change them as individuals and as family – of three generations in this case. These are ethical questions What shapes the answers is not the technology – it will be other forces or factors – The granny is there because of increased longevity The small child understands because she is taught media in schools The others family live in a different country because of globalisation so they use this technology to keep in touch How they use this technology is based on their own values of identity, personality and their own history. So social trends plus personal ethics = media trends.
- Every organisation is now a media company: businesses - government - charities - schools - the NHS. All produce internal communications such as email. All produce external communications such as website, press releases, video channels etc But that distinction doesn’t hold too well as we now have mixed or networked communications that are simultaneously: inside/out side or personal/professional communications: Twitter, Facebook, etc Most of all you now operate in a media world where anyone can talk about anything, anytime – including about you or your business. A natural urge is to either try to do everything or conversely, to withdraw - at the very least, to seek to control. There is nothing obligatory, natural, or inevitable about this new media environment. If it is an eco-system, it is entirely artificial. Think national park rather than jungle. So what I want to stress is that everyone has choices: how you communicate, your tactics, your strategy. These choices will ultimately be driven not by the technology but by the real goals of your organisations: profit, power, advocacy, charity, entertainment - whatever. But whatever the goals you need to consider the Ethics. By ethics I mean choices that you make based on your values and responding to other people’s values.
