As part of my recent cross-Tasman jaunt to Auckland, there was also an evening event held by Network PR for the Kiwi media. It even got coverage on 3News’ business program.
Attended by around 80 media types (new and heritage), Julie Starr and I gave (very) short talks on our views on the nature of the media in the world of the Internet. My talk was very off the cuff, so is perhaps not as coherent as I usually am on this subject.
I reminded those there – newspaper, TV, radio and and online – that the future of their industry, online or off, was in their hands and relied on ongoing production of material of a high quality. That seemed to go over well.
