Convergence and Community Media's digital future (10:40 - 11:30)

As access to broadband and wireless technologies, becomes more 
widespread and more affordable, websites with user-generated content 
increase in popularity and mobile devices become both tools of 
production and distributors of media... where next for Community Media?

Find out at the CMA Festival and AGM in a session with Daniel Meadows 
from Cardiff University and Steve Thompson from the University of Teesside.

Daniel Meadows
Daniel Meadows PhD has been described by the American commentator J.D. 
Lasica as "one of the icons of the Digital Storytelling movement". He is 
also recognised as a prime mover in the new documentary photography 
movement of 1970s Britain; notable projects from that time include his 
collaborations with Martin Parr: Butlin's by the Sea (1972) in 
Yorkshire, and a study of June Street (1973) in Salford.

Steve Thompson
Steve is recognised in the UK as a leading figure in the world of 
community engagement through ICT and community media. After a successful 
career as a professional songwriter he ran the highly acclaimed 
community radio project Wolf FM in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, before joining 
the University of Teesside in 2000 to run the ICT project Tees Valley 
Communities Online, and subsequently e-Create. These projects have both 
been recognised for innovation and invention in the field of community 
ICT. Steve's work continues in the Tees Valley and increasingly further 
afield, working with vastly disparate groups and assisting each to 
achieve digital inclusion through community media.
