accumulated junk, devious permutations

  In mythical thought, devious permutations of signified-into-signifying images — equivalent to puttering with accumulated junk — to form analogies and new arrangements, as in the poetic nature of naive or raw art (Levi-Strauss) ...

5 Things I learnt today...

- Google is your friend: One message Google stressed upon at our workshop today was that utilising their media platform can only help with getting your work read by the biggest and best audience possible. (Their offices are incredible as well!)

- Tools for every journalist: Stephen Rosenthal showed us how to use the different tools on Google to our advantage and showed us some of the newest Google technology. My favourite has got to be Fusion Tables, which allows you to join together Google maps with data to create an interactive story for your readers.

- Don’t believe everything you see: An interesting point raised by Brendan O’Neil, Editor of Spiked, is that you can’t always trust eye witness accounts. Often journalists are washed over by emotion or don’t see the full picture during a conflict or disaster; meaning their accounts of the event may not be the most reliable.

- Social media can be good and bad: As well as not always trusting eye witness accounts, Brendan spoke about how we, as journalists, must always be sceptical when using Twitter and other social media as a source for news. Often during conflicts and breaking news stories people let their emotions cloud their judgement, often leading to misinformation and false photos being shared across Twitter. A current example of this is the #GazaUnderAttack on Twitter, which the BBC found to show numerous photos of other war zones being passed off as pictures of Gaza. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28198163)

- Do it yourself: Peter Barron, Google’s Director of Communications, spoke about the growing prevalence of user generated content in the media. He stressed that in the 21st Century we can’t afford to wait around, we need to be journalists NOW if we hope to have a future in the career.
