Media140, The Real-time News Conference

Posted on by

I’m going to take a little bit more than 140 characters to let you all know about the upcoming Media140 conference in London, one of a handful of Twitter based conferences coming online in 2009.

Media140 is a short half-day conference on London’s South Bank, and will be focussing on the use of Twitter for news and reporting through a mix of case study examples and panel discussions.

Some of the topics for the event will include:

  • Is microblogging and twitter really a news ‘game changer’?
  • How will microblogging change traditional local news sourcing and distribution?
  • Tools of the trade, what works and what doesn’t?
  • Case studies on microblogging: Afghanistan, US Elections, Olympics and Iraq
