A colleague and I recently started teaching in a course called "Content is King". Our focus lies on the effects of the digital revolution on the future of on line publishing and on line journalism. Together with our students we are starting up a small experiment on open source-education. The outlines of the course can be found on a Wiki-page which, of course, can be edited by anyone.

Topics dealt with: I. Tools & History II. "Gatekeepers no more" III. From conversation to construction IV. "We the media" V. Trust - credibility - objectivity - ethics VI. Power to the people

At the risk of being accused of shameless self-promotion, this seems very compatible with my book Gatewatching: Collaborative Online News Production, which is going to the printers in a few weeks. I have some information online about it at http://snurb.info/index.php?q=node/28; the Amazon.com page for it is at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0820474320 (but is still virtually empty). -- Dr Axel Bruns a.bruns@qut.edu.au - http://snurb.info/ Media & Communication Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove, Qld. 4059, Australia Creative Industries Faculty Z2-202, CIP - (07) 3864 5548 Queensland University of Technology CRICOS No.: 00213J
