Hi guys - please help Mark out with his research re your laptops :)

Hi Everyone,
         The second survey for the digital Learning Initiative is now live and
can be accessed at

http://opinio.online.swin.edu.au/s?s=3148

The purpose of this survey is to assess how students are using the hardware and
software being trialled, as well as exploring if the project has changed
student's attitudes towards educational technologies. This survey is anonymous,
and information gathered from it will be used to fine-tune any future DLI
rollouts. The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, and
your help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Dr. Mark FInn
(DLI Educational Coordinator)

Journalism must adapt to change

In May this year, the editor of the London Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, gave a talk at the annual conference of the Organisation of Newspaper Ombudsmen. Rusbridger displayed a trait not normally associated with editors: vulnerability. He mused openly, constructively, and expressed a sort of bracing doubt, rather than a paralysing doubt.

Part of his thesis was that "the public at large have a rather more honest assessment of what journalism is than we give them credit for".

In the context of a discussion broadly about media self-regulation, Rusbridger referred to the rapid changes in technologies and audiences that are affecting most traditional media organisations and said in part: "The greater the speed required of us in the digital world — and speed does matter, but never at the expense of accuracy or fairness or anything which would imperil trust — the more we should be honest about the tentative nature of what is possible.

"Journalism becomes a never-ending organic business of placing material in the public domain … Everything we do will be more contestable, more open to challenge and alternative interpretation … When we publish something that's wrong, is it better invisibly to mend it so that the mistake is removed from the permanent record, or is it more important to record or capture the fact of the untrue publication as well as the correction or clarification?

"These are enormous conceptual shifts in what we do."

The environment for all journalism is changing fast. One aspect of that change is a new transparency about the process of journalism itself. Transparency can be as discomforting to journalists as it can be for the people those journalists themselves scrutinise in the course of their work.

In a democracy, public power that is not accountable is not legitimate. Media wield public power. Unless accountable, unless legitimate, media will not be trusted. If media are not trusted, a participatory democracy weakens.

My experience with media self-regulation covers 30 years, and I am now watching it adapt to the new transparency that Rusbridger has described. Several forms of scrutiny of media have existed for years, and that work is of value. But I want to focus for a moment on two examples of the relatively recent form of scrutiny being applied to traditional media organisations by large numbers of people operating in cyberspace and practising a form of "journalism".

The first example involves the resignation in March this year of Los Angeles Times opinion page editor Andres Martinez.

When his romance with a member of a Hollywood PR agency became known, the blogosphere asked, with some intensity, whether the relationship had affected decisions that had put clients of the agency on the prestigious Los Angeles Times opinion page. Martinez blogged back, denying a conflict. But the self-organising newsroom of cyberspace persisted and Martinez was forced out. His fuming goodbye, which appeared on the Los Angeles Times website, asserted that the newspaper had overreacted.

Martinez wrote: "In trying to keep up with the blogosphere, and boasting about their ability to go after their own, navel-gazing newsrooms run the risk of becoming parodies of themselves."

Doubtless there was more to it, but the public record indicates that Martinez was treated harshly. Watching the episode unfold, I thought back to all those ministers whose departures from office have brought to an end a traditional media frenzy for governments worried about maintaining public confidence. For "government" perhaps now read "Big Media" worried about its brand; for "traditional media" read "blogosphere"?

The second example illustrates the potential inherent in technological changes that have made everyone with access to the internet and sufficient hardware and software a "publisher" or "broadcaster".

During the controversy in the United States this year about the removal from office, allegedly on improper political grounds, of several Department of Justice attorneys, the government machinery released thousands of documents at once. In the past, this would have slowed the momentum of the media cycle as the material would have had to be digested by the relatively few journalists of the traditional media.

But in this case, almost overnight, the "journalists" of the blogosphere sifted the material, making it more manageable for the Big Media journalists who, with their expertise, contacts and access, could then pursue the story faster. Online "citizen journalists", as they are sometimes called, did not find the needle in the haystack, but they organised the haystack in a way that contributed to the professional journalists' search for the needle.

All this activity and disclosure can add up to significant scrutiny. It will be further empowered by remarkable advances in information and communications technology.

For those who came to journalistic maturity under the old, more opaque systems of self-regulation, the new transparency may be hard to adapt to. But adapt we must, while keeping in mind the advice of the executive editor of The New York Times, Bill Keller, not to be distracted, defensive, self-absorbed or self-promoting.

Journalism can only fulfil its proper role in a free society if it is agile and alert to change.

Paul Chadwick is director of editorial policies at the ABC. He received the 1997 Walkley Award for most outstanding contribution to journalism. This is an edited version of his recent speech to the Melbourne Press Club.

Hi Lisa,
             We dropped the charger cable yesterday in your office. We have submitted the camera to the library. The librarian has made the note on the account of the missing cable. Which time will it be suitable to collect it from your office?

Hi Everyone

just a reminder that there will be no formal class today but I will be here
until 3.45 to see people if they need help.

Can I also ask people to get a one line biography off your interview subject -
for example

"Lisa Gye is a lecturer in Media and Communications at Swinburne University and
is currently researching the intersection between news production practices and
new media"

or

"Joe Bloggs is a journalist with the New Haven Times and writes on food, pets
and blogging"

September 6, 2007 Thursday Late Edition - Final

Are Books Passe?

BYLINE: By BRAD STONE

SECTION: Section C; Column 0; Business/Financial Desk; Pg. 1

LENGTH: 1330 words

DATELINE: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5

Technology evangelists have predicted the emergence of electronic books for as long as they have envisioned flying cars and video phones. It is an idea that has never caught on with mainstream book buyers.

Two new offerings this fall are set to test whether consumers really want to replace a technology that has reliably served humankind for hundreds of years: the paper book.

In October, the online retailer Amazon.com will unveil the Kindle, an electronic book reader that has been the subject of industry speculation for a year, according to several people who have tried the device and are familiar with Amazon's plans. The Kindle will be priced at $400 to $500 and will wirelessly connect to an e-book store on Amazon's site.

That is a significant advance over older e-book devices, which must be connected to a computer to download books or articles.

Also this fall, Google plans to start charging users for full online access to the digital copies of some books in its database, according to people with knowledge of its plans. Publishers will set the prices for their own books and share the revenue with Google. So far, Google has made only limited excerpts of copyrighted books available to its users.

Amazon and Google would not comment on their plans, and neither offering is expected to carve out immediately a significant piece of the $35-billion-a-year book business. But these new services, from two Internet heavyweights, may help to answer the question of whether consumers are ready to read books on digital screens instead of on processed wood pulp.

''Books represent a pretty good value for consumers. They can display them and pass them to friends, and they understand the business model,'' said Michael Gartenberg, research director at Jupiter Research, who is skeptical that a profitable e-book market will emerge anytime soon.

''We have had dedicated e-book devices on the market for more than a decade, and the payoff always seems to be just a few years away,'' he said.

That disappointing history goes back to the late 1990s, when Silicon Valley start-ups created the RocketBook and SoftBook Reader, two bulky, battery-challenged devices that suffered from lackluster sales and a limited selection of material. The best selling e-books at the time, tellingly, were ''Star Trek'' novels.

Hopes for e-books began to revive last year with the introduction of the widely marketed Sony Reader. Sony's $300 gadget, the size of a trade paperback, has a six-inch screen, enough memory to hold 80 books and a battery that lasts for 7,500 page turns, according to the company. It uses screen display technology from E Ink, a company based in Cambridge, Mass., that emerged from the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and creates power-efficient digital screens that uncannily mimic the appearance of paper.

Sony will not say how many it has sold, but the Reader has apparently done well enough that Sony recently increased its advertising for the device in several major American cities.

''Digital readers are not a replacement for a print book; they are a replacement for a stack of print books, '' said Ron Hawkins, vice president for portable reader systems at Sony. ''That is where we see people, on the go, in the subway and in airports, with our device.''

Book publishers also seem to be preparing for the kind of disruption that hit the music business when Apple introduced the symbiotic combination of the iPod and its iTunes online service. This year, with Sony's Reader drawing some attention and Amazon's imminent e-book device on their radar, most major publishers have accelerated the conversion of their titles into electronic formats.

''There has been an awful lot of energy around e-books in the last six to 12 months, and we are now making a lot more titles available,'' said Matt Shatz, vice president for digital at Random House, which plans to have around 6,500 e-books available by 2008. It has had about 3,500 available for the last few years.

Amazon has been showing the Kindle to book publishers for the last year and has delayed its introduction several times. Last fall, a photograph of the device, and some of its specifications, leaked onto the Web when the company filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission to get approval for its wireless modem, which will operate over a high-speed EVDO network.

Several people who have seen the Kindle say this is where the device's central innovation lies -- in its ability to download books and periodicals, and browse the Web, without connecting to a computer. They also say Amazon will pack some free offerings onto the device, like reference books, and offer customers a choice of subscriptions to feeds from major newspapers like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the French newspaper Le Monde.

The device also has a keyboard, so its users can take notes when reading or navigate the Web to look something up. A scroll wheel and a progress indicator next to the main screen, will help users navigate Web pages and texts on the device.

People familiar with the Kindle also have a few complaints. The device has a Web browser, but using it is a poor experience, because the Kindle's screen, also from E Ink, does not display animation or color.

Some also complain about the fact that Amazon is using a proprietary e-book format from Mobipocket, a French company that Amazon bought in 2005, instead of supporting the open e-book standard backed by most major publishers and high-tech companies like Adobe. That means owners of other digital book devices, like the Sony Reader, will not be able to use books purchased on Amazon.com.

Nevertheless, many publishing executives see Amazon's entrance into the e-book world as a major test for the long-held notion that books and newspapers may one day be consumed on a digital device.

''This is not your grandfather's e-book,'' said one publishing executive who did not want to be named because Amazon makes its partners sign nondisclosure agreements. ''If these guys can't make it work, I see no hope.''

For its part, Google has no plans to introduce an electronic device for reading books. Its new offering will allow users to pay some portion of a book's cover price to read its text online. For the last two years, as part of the Google Book Search Partner Program, some publishers have been contributing electronic versions of their books to the Google database, with the promise that the future revenue would be shared.

The service could be especially useful to students and researchers who find information they need through a Google search, but it is also likely to include material suited for leisure reading. It will be separate from an effort called the Google Book Search Library Project, which is digitizing the collections of some libraries. That program has angered publishers and led to several pending lawsuits over copyright issues.

Both the programs of Google and Amazon are drawing attention, and some skepticism, from traditional book retailers. Barnes & Noble, the largest bookseller in the United States, once invested in early e-book creator NuvoMedia and sold its RocketBook in stores before getting out of the business in 2003.

Stephen Riggio, chief executive at Barnes & Noble, argues that for most people the value of traditional paper books will never be replicated in digital form. Nevertheless, he plans to compete with Google and Amazon. Mr. Riggio said in an interview that the full texts of many books will become available on the company's Web site over the next year to 18 months. He also said that Barnes & Noble was considering introducing its own electronic book reader -- but only when it can sell one at a low price.

''If an affordable device can come to the market, sure we'd love to bring it to our customers, and we will,'' Mr. Riggio said. ''But right now we don't see an affordable device in the immediate future.''

  Digital Harbour Newsletter: September 2007










Minister opens VicTrack's new offices at Digital Harbour
VicTrack's new Docklands offices were officially opened by the Minister for
Public Transport and the Arts, Lynne Kosky MP, on 2nd August. VicTrack Chair
Elana Rubin, fellow Board members and staff joined the Minister and guests in
the official opening ceremony followed by morning tea. Elena described the new
offices as a new start for the organisation and a far cry from the poky and
dated premises in Collins Street. In thanking the Minister for her attendance,
she also noted that the office move represented a significant vote of confidence
in VicTrack by the Government. Minister Kosky thanked VicTrack staff for their
commitment and work, particularly in assisting the State Governments $33 million
package in improving level crossing safety throughout Victoria. She also gave
credit to the interior designers and project managers and VicTrack's in-house
project management team and staff committee.

Framed #08: Poetry In Cinema - The Secrets of Writing Your Film
Thursday 27 September: 12.30-1.30pm
Filmmaker, writer and scholar Ian Dixon shows how to 'Put your self in your
film'. There are many forums and books available to screenplay writers - but so
many concentrate on genre and structure. These are important elements but a
writer needs to find their own self in the film form. The essential ingredient
is one's own unique take on the world, one's own 'Weltanschauung'. Good writing
emanates from the personal core, then finds its appropriate form. As Dr Freud
said: "before the problem of the creative artist, psychoanalysis must lay down
its arms."
