Crowdsourced news and professional journalists: pulling together to replace the tug-of-war
This webcast covers both the threat and the promise presented to professional journalism by citizen journalism, social networking, and other crowdsourcing. We'll look at some of the proposals made by leaders in journalism to modernize the practices, and go through a "thought experiment" that asks how far social networking and rating systems could replace professional news sources. We will end by summarizing ways journalists could incorporate more crowdsourcing into their work.

The Associated Press in Pact with Bambuser for Live Video News
LONDON (via SkypeVideo) Bambuser, the fast growing Swedish start-up that allows users to stream live video over mobile devices, has entered into an agreement with the Associated Press. The pact provides the Bambuser platform to AP staffers and provides "citizen" journalists to provide unique live video to the wire service. Bambuser has gotten widespread notoriety with live streaming of the strife in Syria, where journalists have not been permitted to cover. Today, we spoke via Skype Video with the AP's Mark Davies, Deputy Director of International Video in the AP's London bureau. He explains how "citizen journalists" will be verified and why the AP choose this technology.

Vergecast - Thursday, March 15th
Dusty and darkened by his 1700-mile journey on horseback from the heart of Texas, Gonzo Journalist 3.0 Nilay Patel rolls his Retina Crystal Ball from its repurposed velveteen Crown Royal satchel onto the Vergecast studio conference coffee table. His abilities enhanced by a half a vodka-soda, Media Theoritician Joshua Topolsky gazes deep into its almost-too-real surface, failing to notice it's sticky with day-old margarita juice and unsavory bits of dried salsa. As he swipes, pinches, and zooms nimbly in the airspace around the orb, JT communicates a fantastical vision of the present from deep within the darkest corner of its fourth core: an era free of the feudal shackles of FM frequencies, the print edition of the New York Post, and the cantankerous media tastemakers and oligarchs who once held so much influence over the populous. Peering up above his reading glasses from the Ba-Bl section of his recently-hyperinflated Encyclopedia Britannica, Dubious Sage Paul Miller wonders what can possibly come next. Not so shockingly, it's the future: one where all citizens exist in a fat green cloud, joyfully passing bits, bytes, kilobytes, and pagesix.com links directly to their Fave Five Friends upon tiny Napster- and KaZaA-branded puffs of cumulonimbus. Jarringly, the sphere momentarily flashes in a spinning beach ball animation, then goes dark. And Nilay seems to have left his charging cradle down south. You could cut the air with a RAZR: it's the Vergecast. From: TheVerge Views: 6194 97 ratings Time: 01:28:08 More in Science & Technology

Uprising: Hip Hop & The LA Riots - SXSW 2012 Accepted Film
20 years after riots ripped through Los Angeles, "Uprising" documents how hip hop forecasted -- and some say ignited -- the worst civil unrest of the 20th century. The film revisits the riots in gripping detail and draws from a diverse collection of voices -- the rappers, rioters, victims, police officers, journalists and everyday citizens of South Central Los Angeles. The documentary traces the rise of dissent in Los Angeles in the 80's and 90's and explores why citizens chose to rise up violently against police abuse and perceived injustices.
