11 to 11:45 Future Present - Signposting the future media craft Are we forever bound to the duality of alternative versus mainstream or has new media opened up a richer unbounded media scape? What will the nature of the media-maker who populates this media scape be?
11:45 to 12:45 Tracking attention - Audience shifts and trends
Commentators claim that the audience is changing. Who is today's audience? Where is their attention and what type of content do they want?
2:00 - 3:45 Working solo - The Lone media-maker theory
Many media-makers are out there doing it by themselves. Shooting, editing and filing on the move, without a crew is technological possible - but is it really a viable way of documenting a story or making the news? What sort of impact does this way of working have on the craft and the product?
4 to 5:30 (I was) Seduced by the New Media
Once upon a time the internet was the future of media. E-vangalists were heralding a new dawn of an empowered populous where everyone was a media-maker blurring the definition of an audience. But where have we ended up instead?
SATURDAY NITE
7 to 8:30pm Loaded Language or Objective Perspective
Is there such a thing as unbiased news? Or is the myth of objectivity an excuse behind which media makers can hide so as to avoid making challenging content? Who choses the language in news scripts and how and can it be shifted?

SUNDAY 24 MARCH 2002
11:30 to 12:45 Access all areas - getting the story out
Everyone has a story but not everyone can be heard. Media distribution seems to a closed shop where the powerful media consortiums control the content but is this really accurate? How can independent media-makers get their stories out?
12:45 to 2 Lunch Yak
2 to 3.45 Legal Rights and Security Checks
Media and the legal domain - what rights do you have? How far can you go in order to get the story, and what happens when you go too far?
4 to 5.30 Open publishing - The Net and You
How do the accounts of real people shape the media scape? What is the impact of online self-publishing tools such as indymedia and blogs.
SUNDAY NITE
7:30 - 8:30 Lines of flight - Movements and Borders
The last few years has seen both the rise of highly mobile capital, and the growth of a global resistance to it. It has seen the explosion of the internet, and recently attempts to regulate the flows of information and impose borders in net-space. And it has seen the huge numbers of people on the move between nation-states and continents, and the hysterical defense of national borders and the mass criminalisation of refugees and asylum seekers. What are these flows and movements that criss-cross the global, what are they doing and how are they fermenting resistance?
