Digital Communities Broadcast Conference

---

New digital platforms create new opportunities and audiences are now more likely to be communities of interest, communities which increasingly bypass traditional media outlets all together and create their own networks and realities.

The rapidly changing world of media production and consumption is creating some major changes in the way that we as a society find our information and entertainment.

This is a Broadcast conference

In a convergent society technology is removing the concept of reaching a mass audience through the single platform of television.

New digital platforms create new opportunities and audiences are now more likely to be communities of interest, communities which increasingly bypass traditional media outlets all together and create their own networks and realities.

The first conference to really explore this phenomenon will be held later in the month in Bristol. Produced by Broadcast in association with Watershed and South West Screen, Digital Communities 06 will ask how new types of communities are shaping and informing the development of media and communication.

With a range of topics from Local TV and mobile media to DIY distribution and multi-player gaming being discussed by experts from within the media industry and beyond, Digital Communities 06 will seek to shed light on the changes, both informing and debating the complexities of the digital future.
