May 1st-3rd - new media gathering on Raven's Ait Island.

The imminent commercial collapse of mainstream media, and its replacement by PR-driven news, threatens the journalistic integrity and independence necessary for a free scoiety. The next generation could be without the 4th Estate.

We have 20 people sighed up, we have space for more - please add your name and contact to wiki if you whona come for the weekend.

Lets build a creative commons. Old media and new media need to gather together, sharing skills, resources and experience to create the media of the future.

We invite:
Alt-media people
Indymedia people
Traditional media people
Media students
DIY culture practitioners
Documentary filmmakers
Print journalists
Radio journalists

The conference will concentrate on the audio-visual side of media, with space for break-out groups for print, radio and web.

The space: an eco-conference centre on an island in the Thames 25 mins by train from central London.  http://ravensait.org.uk

We have a large hall, a cinema room, and 3 conference rooms. There is basic crash space for 40 people over the weekend. The conference will be run on an “un-conference” format, and will be funded by contributions for the space and meals over the weekend.

The gathering is organized by visionOntv ( http://visionon.tv) – an undercurrents project ( http://undercurrents.org)
