Went to Sydney to give a paper at the Features Conference - and go to my cousin's wedding.
The paper is about broadcast programs improving online presence and developing online projects – how distribution via a computer screen rather than a radio changes what we do and how we prioritizes things as program makers.
The shift from radio to online as a primary delivery platform is huge. Time and linearity, the two pillars grounding how radio content works, are completely unhinged in a networked environment – which is both timeless and nonlinear… And then there is negotiating this business of the screen – radio has always had a tricky relationship with vision…
Online functions differently to radio – it’s a multifunctional receptive outlet used as…
- a portable media delivery/distributor - where we pick up our freshly baked media...
- an information resource - search, find, surf... dig around research interests and news
- an audio and multi-media player - engage with immersive and often interactive media objects
- as an outlet for self-expression and social interaction - expression through participation and social media and group allegiances
We have to incorporate all think in our thinking about making and delivering programs… So, in a nutshell – the paper looks at…
(Before anything else) making sure our primary media object is spreadable – that the podcast’s ID3 tags are in order - ensuring we have the basics covered. It’s important to understand and work with how our programs live as digital bits in the world
Approaches to developing online features:
- Delivery – developing features out of different ways to find and sort through archive material
- Multimedia –creating media –enriched programs
- Interactivity - developing participatory initiatives
