I was on Radio Adelaide again this morning, talking about Twitter. I don’t have a copy of that interview yet (coming shortly), but in the interim here’s an interview I did back in February with them.
As Peter Godfrey’s blog says,
The bush telegraph once provided the best means of spreading news and information, but we’ve almost come full circle with a different form of bush telegraph playing a significant role while spreading news on the Victorian bush fires. Social media played a significant role in keeping the country up to date on the situation as it un-folded.
Over the internet images, maps, fire warnings and more were spread at a surprisingly quick rate via Twitter, Flicker and on-line forms of traditional media. Featured in this interview- Lee Hopkins from the UNISA School of Communication. He begins by explaining the similarity between Citizen Journalism and Social Media.
I’ve also included an interview I gave to ABC Radio South East in early July last year, where I talk about Social Networking.
