Rory's Conference Report - Media in Transition 6
I attended the Media in Transition 6 conference in Cambridge, Mass. April 24-26. I want to thank the library for giving me the opportunity to attend.
The conference was an academic conference concerning new media of communication, and how they are changing society.
I attended sessions with papers and presentations on archives (especially digital archives), libraries, journalism, blogs, privacy, media effects, publishing, streaming television, and technology trends. I presented a paper about Walter Ong and his investigations in the cultural effects of the invention of alphabetic writing.
The abstracts to the papers and many of the actual papers are on the website at http://web.mit.edu/comm-forum/mit6/ .
