...at the core of journalism is the idea that once garnered, information possessed by the journalist must be coveted and hidden. It's value is it's exclusivity. We've got something that we have to share but in traditional business models the only way to consistently realise the material benefit is to sell it exclusively. This can't be the most efficient way of getting our work seen or heard. Assuming that sharing was the journalist's original intent, then this method must be at odds, in fact I struggle to think of a more effective way of limiting the people that are able to share in the work.
These podcasts are notes from Jonathan Worth's blog entitled "New Photographics". By recording them for download, it's the intention that a broader range of people are able to gain access and engage in our community of like-minded learner practitioners. You can find out more about us from the blog or by following @jdubbyah and @cu_photography on Twitter.
The Photographic Mediations Podcasts are brought to you by the Photography Course in the Department of Media and Communication at Coventry University.
