We’ve just posted on our events listings a presentation I’ll be giving Wednesday 23 April at the American International Women’s Club of Lausanne, about online news media. The talk is designed for the general public but should be of interest to professionals as well. It’s open to members (CHF28) and non-members (CHF33). Time: 9:15-11:00, Hotel Alpha-Palmiers, rue du Petit-Chene 34, Lausanne. Note: Registration closes noon, 19 April.
The blurb from the AIWC newsletter
How online media are changing your view of the world:
- Plastic surgery or sex change operations for traditional media?
- News junkies, information addicts and the rest of us
- Celebrity and people news, I-reporters and the online news hypermarket
- Could you survive without the news? Would anyone let you?
Ellen, publisher of GenevaLunch, which provides daily news in English, is a journalist and editor with 20+ years of international experience. She takes us on a guided tour of today’s world of news, online: what’s changing, why and the impact on our lives and views of the world. News is as old as humanity, shared across the first cooking fires. Those of us older than age 22 grew up with the news coming to us via print, airwaves and television. The Internet is changing this: a recent survey showed that 42% of people are getting some form of news from the Internet. With the younger, pre-Microsoft generation, this rises to 50% and the figure climbs every year.
