This month I’m proud to say that my Cardiff Arcades Project work appears in one of my favourite magazines (one I actually subscribe to, woot!), Mollie Makes. For those of you not familiar with this publication, it’s a craft and vintage magazine aimed at young women which was launched just over a year ago produced by Future Publishing (which is handily where I work, but in another department…) I’ve been wanting to get my photos and words about the Cardiff […]

These old law books won't tell us the answer...

Why the internet makes an ass out of the law

26 November, 2008 by amydavies

Shane Richmond , communities editor for The Telegraph made some interesting points in a recent lecture on online journalism regarding the law. My experience of media law has to date included a module for my BA in Journalism and the module I do now for my postgrad diploma. I’ve never been sued, and I’m hoping that, until the day I get employed by some hotshot magazine which has the weight behind it to fend off such things, I won’t be. […]

19 November, 2008 by amydavies

But do any of these questions matter? Doubtful. Well you know, we all want to change the world…. Oh hang on, Google actually has. Anthony Mayfield , another one of those heads of social media, but this time at iCrossing pointed out this week in an online journalism lecture at Cardiff University that we are in the middle of a revolution. Did you know? Well, if you didn’t that’s alright because apparently people rarely know all this crazy […]

Who Is ‘U’?

16 October, 2008 by amydavies

“The beauty of UGC is that anyone can come and make what they want. Sell it. Distribute it. Whatever. So it keeps going without anyone needing to maintain it. The UGC becomes the appeal” – A consumer of UGC. User generated content – or to put it in layman’s terms, stuff that’s contributed by the public – is constantly being hailed as a fantastic, all inclusive, undeniably positive force for good. Praise is heaped upon it […]

A timely reflection on blogging, Twittering and Web 3.0ing.

7 October, 2008 by amydavies

I’m growing a little weary of the constant cry that ‘journalism is changing’. Not because I’m doubtful that it is, but because I can’t seem to think of a time when it hasn’t been, in one form or another. The death knell of journalism has been declared several times now, and I’m feeling a bit like someone’s crying wolf. Many journalists don’t like Web 2.0, because they feel like it does them out of a job, and they can no […]
