All the #Media140 that’s fit to print

One of the recurring themes at the Media 140 conference in Sydney has been redefining the function of the journalist.

One perspective is journalist as curator – providing context, sifting and interpreting data to allow information to travel beyond our immediate horizons.

As I’m generally a helpful, kind and conscientious human being, not satisfied with merely providing the Twitterverse with peerless live reportage of the Media140 event, I have put together a list of the most interesting coverage of the two day conference for your edification and delight…

(N.B this is a starting point – I’ll be adding to the list as I find new content.  Please feel free to make suggestions, and apologies for any glaring omissions)
