Citizen Journalism - My DCI Presentation

I have only seen this now on Zoopy but the Lovely New Medial Lab at Rhodes University managed to record and summerise my presentation at the Digital Citizen Indaba.Thanks to the involved party for doing a great job. Here's the video:

Road trippin' to Grahamstown - DCI and Highway Africa

Tomorrow I'm leaving on a jet-plane and heading to Grahamstown. The reason for this is more than a bit of a nostalgic weekend away to my old University. I am in fact heading to Grahamstown to take part in the Digital Citizen Indaba and Highway Africa.I've wanted to take part in this event for a while now but never seemed to get around to it (or get invited). This year however, I have been invited to speak about the tools that can aid citizen journalists and the available services that one can use.This is an extremely interesting topic for me as I have made a slow and slight transition from mainstream journalism to a more citizen journalism role through my blogs and social media.I'll be posting the presentation online once I'm done with it but I doubt it will make too much sense as I enjoy the sound of my own voice and like to make this the focus of my presentations.Nonetheless the entire weekend (four days) will be great. Matthew Buckland and Vincent Maher will be there and apparently our first stop is the old faithful Rat & Parrot. B-E-A-UTIFUL!
