Join African American leaders from the Greater Los Angeles area as we examine the current state of black media and best practices on innovations in online communications at the 1st Annual Urban New Media Conference sponsored by 3BAAS Media Group. This panel is a part of the 2009 Beyond Broadcast Symposium taking place at University of Southern California's Annenberg Center June 3-6.
Confirmed Panelists:
LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas
KJLH Radio General Manager Karen Slade
Christ our Redeemer Pastor Mark Whitlock
Political Consultant and Journalist Jasmyne Cannick
Actress & Media Personality Rolonda Watts
Moderated by Kevin Ross, 3BAAS Media Group
With the theme, "Embracing the Digital Renaissance" the panel will explore how the Internet is being used among different constituencies. We will also discuss the implications of digital and other technologies for the future of reaching communities of color, employment opportunities and the latest in mobile applications. An important aspect of the panel will be to build lasting virtual and real world bridges across the spectrum of organizations and ideas in the public information space.
The afternoon forum provides an opportunity for media, academia, politicians, business and the technology sector to convene to chart the course African Americans have already embarked on as the Internet re-imagines how society receives news, information and entertainment. The goal is to identify opportunities where these conversations will produce the highest value in the United States and abroad.
Seating is limited so attendees are strongly encouraged to RSVP. For those unable to attend, the free event will also stream live via the Internet. (Parking is not included). Hope to see you there!
