Daniel Meadows

Without any doubt, Daniel Meadows presentation was well-prepared and entertaining. However, it did sometimes tend to sensationalise.

His 'Capture Wales' project is a nice idea and produces some interesting films by people with real stories to tell. But Daniel built the idea up as being some sort of earth-shattering new idea which was going to rock the whole media world.

More user involvement in the media will become increasingly important, and the changes in attitude towards it in the main media organisations show this. But, the mass of diagrams and complicated explanations for it made the whole thing seem overstated.

The central point, I suppose, was that we as journalists cannot any longer be as arrogant as to assume we are talking TO people, and this is a valid and important observation. But, I think that could have been put a bit simpler, if only to allow for my more limited intellect!
