Blogging for Who?

So a few words about who this blog is aimed at. It will evolve but my first priority is to understand changes in the visual media as they effect people like me, a journalist who needs to make a living from writing but who also believes that the public debate, the dialogue, is stronger than the old system. That’s the one where editors, owners, and political intruigers had the final word.
Second I think there’s a level of deteail in those changes that needs bringing out. Few people beyond the magic circle in the visual media know who’s who or which company is doing what. When I look at the websites of Narrowstep, Maven, Roo and other IP TV players I don’t get their character. Future monarchs of the visual world they have pretty flat textual decriptions of themselves that don’t engage me. So a few interviews here might help change that.
Then there’s an important debate to be had about the dying days of traditional media (see next post).Â
Finally I hope the blog will develop some technique pages, and it might help a reader or two get their stuff onto Akimbo or any other video aggregator.
