| The Web has enabled us to use the growing variety of media technologies as Lego blocks, and create daringly new systemic solutions for knowledge work. Journalism takes priority. Following the basic pattern of Knowledge Federation, this event will bring together 20 - 30 journalism creatives and knowledge media researchers, along with other experts and stakeholders as needed. Our goal will be to co-create an innovation ecosystem for good journalism. Our final destination is a functioning media channel of a completely new kind.
Paddy Coulter has kindly accepted to be the Workshop Chair and Opening Keynote Speaker. Formerly the Director of Studies at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University, and Director of the International Broadcasting Trust, Paddy Coulter is the Director of Oxford Global Media and a Fellow of Green College, Oxford. Part of his role will be to secure for us close contact with the good journalism tradition. Professor Coulter distinguishes himself by projects that aim to align journalism with demands of sustainable economy and solutions to global issues.
David Price, Ph.D, FRSA, co-founder of Debategraph and of Global Sensemaking will be joining us, and giving the opening keynote on the second day. Debategraph has perhaps come furthest in applying collective sensemaking in journalism and governance.
Synergy – between innovation in public informing, and innovation in knowledge media technology – is the core theme that underlies this event. By 'co-creating an innovation ecosystem for good journalism,' we will initiate a project where those two interests will continue to cross-fertilize; hence the result of this workshop will be just as much an innovation ecosystem for (systemic solutions involving) knowledge media technology.
