An interesting podcast featuring a discussion on BBC’s Digital Planet about the ‘end of broadcast’, user generated content and the role of mainstream media in a world where (some) users can and do cover general and special topics as well as current and historical events faster and more accurately than mainstream media. What I found really interesting was the possibility of the BBC adopting the additional role of a user-generated media search engine and filtering service, pinpointing user-generated content worth listening/seeing/reading. Interesting times! [also available on iTunes]
