conference announcement: brussels

Earlier today I posted about three conferences taking place in the first half of 2008. Somehow I missed this one, which is likely to be the most senior level of the bunch:

DNA 2008 – Digital News Affairs: Surviving the Digital News Age
March 3rd and 4th
Brussels

Blurb:

The world of media is changing fast.

New technologies – cheap broadcast quality video cameras, laptop
video editing software and an Internet that carries video images
globally for free – are rewriting the fundamental rules of the news and
content business.

Newspapers go online and start reporting in video Magazines give their journalists video cameras Television stations feel unrelenting pressure from the ‘new media’ The rise of not only ‘Citizen Journalists’, but Citizen Producers Video content starts to flood social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook News content appears in PC, console and online games Publishers experiment with e-newspapers and e-books Interactivity with viewers and readers is now commonplace and developing in sophistication

How are businesses to respond?

DNA2008 will be the first gathering of a converged news and content
business in Europe. The event will bring together cross media
professionals to discuss the challenges of the fundamentally redefined
news industry.
