Ethics and Regulation are Brilliant

This is the blog for our Ethics and Regulatory Frameworks module presentation. We're looking into how internet TV might transform local TV and local radio news. On this blog are our research notes, meeting notes and other things that we'll use to put together a spiffing 15-minute presentation on February 7th.

Slacker!

Just got my blog mark through, a respectable 67%. I got marked down for not actually blogging at all after we'd done our presentation :-s So there you go Sue, I told you it was me!!
(I bet Beth got 80% !)

EMTV

Ok, so I am really going to town with this blogging malarky tonight. In fact, I am simultaneously watching Skins on Channel 4 while writing this blog and looking at other local internet TV stations. How's that for choice!
I came across this site, dire is not the word. An example of how local internet TV is just an advertising tool mainly. Even the links don't work! Enjoy.

Check out the link above. I wanted to be inspired by this old lady taking the world by storm with her blog, but alas, the world of the blog still eludes me.

My Views

Well after looking at this topic I think that Internet Television is certainly the way to go. In an ever increasing industry where more and more radio stations are being created it is only sense that they will have to look to a larger market to survive.

Here in Cornwall the advertising that a business can gain is only limited due to not having any real major shops or industry. That said Internet Television opens you up to a global community and therefore the advertising/sponsorship a business can expect is much greater.

In man power terms I can see younger people doing very well out of the expansion of this industry. Universities/Colleges will qualify people to be multi tasked and the jobs will go to those who can put their hands to almost anything.

I think the future could be bright for Internet Television.
