Pulitzer Center Update June 2, 2009
Nathalie Applewhite joins panel at Beyond Broadcast 2009, USC
Since 2006, the annual Beyond Broadcast conference has explored the evolution of participatory digital public media. This year's conference, titled "Public Service Media from Local to Global," brings this ongoing conversation to the world stage, examining these issues from a global perspective.
BB09 will be structured around three themes: local, global and connecting the two. We will explore the way new media are used on a local community basis, then look at these practices on a global scale and finally consider ways to build lasting bridges between participants across the spectrum.
This year's conference features an extended schedule of plenary sessions and breakout discussions, spanning 2½ days on the campus of the University of Southern California. Participants will take advantage of the vast resources of Los Angeles and the USC Annenberg School for Communication, with workshops on digital production tools and techniques, as well as small breakout meetings with local media leaders and USC Annenberg educators.
Associate Director Nathalie Applewhite will join a distinguished panel on Friday June 5th from 9:30 AM-10:45 AM:
