A short post on Mark Scott's media speech
Serious media observers far and wide have had their say about ABC supremo Mark Scott's speech about the new media environment, Rupert Murdoch and private versus public publishing and broadcasting options.
Here's mine. Scott's speech was un-remarkable, important not for it's content but for who was making it. Notable in that a public broadcaster was defining a different version to content publishing and production that that currently envisaged by Murdoch and his ilk. But then, for the millions of people who have spent time exploring new forms of publishing content online in a first hand manner over the past decade, none of what he had to say would be news. You could see this coming a mile away. Where was Scott five years ago? Best line of the day goes to Ben Eltham at New Matilda.In the land of the blind, the man with a print-out of a Clay Shirky blog is king.
It's funny, 'cause it's true.Still, it appears Scott is listening, unlike it seems, Murdoch and his vocal partner in paid content, the AP's Tom Curley.
