"NEW MEDIA FOR A NEW WORLD"
Second conference on online media scheduled for October
"New Media for a New World 1995," an East-West conference on online media,
will be presented October 23-25 at the Russian-American Press and
Information Center in Moscow. This year's event will help Russian
journalists become more familiar with online tools for news gathering and
publishing.
Organizers of the conference include the Art Pattison Communications
Exchange Program, the Russian-American Press and Information Center, the
Center for Civil Society International, GlasNet and Relcom. Funding is
provided through the Russian-American Media Partnership program, jointly
administered by Internews and the Center for War, Peace and the News Media.
The seminar will offer hands-on training in the use of online tools such as
the World Wide Web and other Internet resources, as well as Lexis/Nexis and
other information databases. It will also examine online ventures such as
the St. Petersburg Press and TribNet/Vladivostok News, and explore future
commercial opportunities in the online news industry.
The first "New Media for a New World" conference took place in July 1994 in
Moscow, with the "virtual keynote" address given via e-mail by Vice
President Al Gore. Proceedings of that conference, as well as information
about this year's event, are available via the World Wide Web
(http://solar.rtd.utk.edu/~aboyle/new.world.html).
