Not New Media or Old Media But Fusion Media
#transitzone by Peter Clarke, Margo Kingston and Tim Dunlop
Episode notes
Our guest today is Axel Bruns, Professor in the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation.He speaks with Margo, Tim and Peter about the ways in which social media works, how it helps and hinders democratic debate, and how we might better understand the likes of Facebook and Twitter.We also discuss the role of journalism more generally and, as you will hear, there are quite strong differences of opinion about what should and should not be published.It’s all happening in the #transitzone!
