BRIDGING THE NEW MEDIA WORKSHOP

Date: 11-15 June 2007
Venue: Shah’s Village Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
Organised by: Southeast Asian Center for e-Media (SEACeM)

What is new media?

“New media” is fast becoming a buzz phrase. New media usually refers to a group of relatively recent mass media based on new information technology. The definition is broad, but generally it refers to the use of the Internet and World Wide Web, video games and interactive media, CD-ROM and other forms of multimedia to deliver messages and information. But what does it really means to you, and more importantly, your organisation?

In this workshop, participants will take a closer look at their own organisations, to evaluate weakness and strength, and to learn from case studies and also from each other to improve their communication and outreach strategies.

Who should attend?

Directors, managers and decision makers of civil society groups and independent media organisations, who are involved in planning and shaping the direction of respective organisations, are encouraged to apply.

What will you learn?

You will learn to plan and prepare your organisation for New Media implementations in a broad sense. What do you need and who with what skill sets do you need will be the key focus here.
