Written by Haitham Sabbah on 29. January 2006, 2004hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Blogging, Media, Qatar, Sabbah // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah
Moblogging (Photos) will fireup this blog again, starting from tomorrow. Blogging will be light for the next few days and this is due to my travel to Qatar to participate in the 2nd annual Aljazeera Forum (Arabic), which this year has the theme “Defending Freedom, Defining Responsibility.”
I’ll be one of the panelists at the Forum. In particular the “The New Media: Bloggers and Participatory Journalism” panel. It’s hosted by Veronica Pedrosa (now of Aljazeera International)
The New Media: Bloggers and Participatory Journalism
This panel will deal with new media such as the phenomena of blogging and participatory journalism. Participants will analyze the effects of “new media” on traditional journalism and discuss the increasing role of the independent voice. Does the appearance of new media indicate a collapse of public trust in mainstream forms? Are traditional media institutions responding to the expectations of their audiences? How have new media transformed the media field and what are the next steps in their development?
