Presentation
A battle that is being waged for our hearts and minds has escalated in the past year. We are witnessing the collapse of the very foundations of the venerated canons of journalism (ie. newsprint) and its subsequent folding into new media technologies (blogs, social networking sites, Twitter feeds). This fruition of a post-modern mediascape in which the lines between advertising, journalism and public relations have become blurred beyond distinction presents both challenges and opportunities for social change media. Mr. Martin will provide an overview of the present situation and its possible implications for advocacy media.
