Tonight I found myself on YouTube watching Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech. Take a look at the advert running in the Left Hand Corner: I’m not sure why I’m shocked. Asim Rafiqui says it so much more eloquently here, but really all our wealth is built on the fact [...] Here’s a nice competition, woo, you get to win a camera. I could do with one of those. It’s got a catchy title: Science: So what? So everything. Could be good. It’s backed by the government, that staunch defender of our rights (Eh?Ed) It’s getting interesting. They’ve got a pretty website. They even have a [...] But sometimes obsession is what it takes.

I think there comes a time when you need to have a group of images or a combination of words, of audio, video and stills to hit you on all senses for you to really appreciate what happened” [...] Goes monthly
I would have thought we are at saturation point for photojournalists, but then you have the colleges churning out thousands of graduates each year, so its all a bit worrying really.

One fascinating dimension is the incorporation of audio and photography into web multi-media. The addition of a narrative has the potential to slow the viewer, forcing them to [...] Would you pay $30 – a month – for an app to let you read a newspaper? Thought not. But according to this, that is being seriously considered. Here is old school vs new in one neat package. In the same building in fact, maybe even the same office. Very interesting. This internet malarkey might [...] My MP, Kerry McCarthy, has not yet bothered to respond to the information I sent her regarding the Digital Economy Bill. So far, not so good.
