Digital Archives: Preserving Digital Public Television

Multimedia Shelf
Two archived lectures/webcasts.
+ Preserving Digital Public Television (via Library of Congress)
This presentation took place on March 8, 2006. "Project director Nan Rubin discussed the "Preserving Digital Public Television" project, which is funded with a dollar-for-dollar matching award from the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program. The "Preserving Digital Public Television" project is exploring the selection and appraisal of programs for preservation, a variety of technical issues and the roles and responsibilities for long-term preservation within the public television community. Among other technical topics, the project is examining appropriate formatting for video preservation. One of the key contributions from New York University, which is also part of the project, is the development of a model digital repository to demonstrate several of the project's technical findings.

+ Journalism: "Send us your photos: How the Net makes us all reporters"
This presentation took place at Oxford University in October, 2005. "Nobody who uses the Internet or watches news programmes on TV can be unaware of the phenomenon of 'citizen journalism', found everywhere from personal blogs to sites like OhmyNews and Dan Gillmor's Bayosphere to the BBC, CNN, Sky, and every other news outlet where people are invited to send in photos, videos, or eyewitness reports of any newsworthy event they happen to witness. Journalist and website editor Bill Thompson will discuss the likely impact of this new form of journalism on the mainstream media, attempting to place it in a historic context both technically and in terms of the way journalism has developed. He will look at the ethical issues which new forms of newsgathering and publication raise, both for contributors and for the news organisations which use their material, and consider how those training tomorrow's journalists should respond."

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
