Lecturers and Powerpoint

Just attended a symposium on new media in which the first two lecturers spoke at length about multimedia with no video, audio, or relevant pictures.

Just a bunch of bullet points streaming across blue screens.

Note to lecturers in journalism. If you really want to convince people that multimedia is here, use it. And stop harping about Convergence, Mobility and Globalisation - show it. Give more examples and case studies - the more visual the better.

Don't bore the audience to tears.
