The emergence of the tablet market presents news organisations with a host of new challenges but just as many opportunities. Tablets place your content literally at the fingertips of the user, allowing them to interact and engage in a whole new way. As the number of new devices continues to grow, and the unit price begins to fall editors and publishers ignore this burgeoning market at their peril. Sales are predicted to skyrocket from 16 million in 2010, to 147 million by 2015.
Our panel includes senior editors from print & broadcast news organisations who've successfully launched their own tablet apps, the self-proclaimed 'character' behind one of the fastest-growing news aggregator apps, as well as a developer whose company have designed apps for a host of global news clients.
Who are my tablet audience and what do they want? How can my newsroom adapt to deliver the best content to a whole new platform? How can I monetise my content? Should my company create a native, HTML5 or hybrid app, or is it better to team up with an news aggregator app? iOS or Android?
- Presentation
- Award-winning photographic artist, Chris Jordan
Chris Jordan is a photographic artist based in Seattle, Washington (US). His work explores the detritus of contemporary mass culture, from photographs of mountains of garbage to photo-based conceptual works that visually connect the viewer to otherwise abstract statistics associated with things we waste. In his book, Running The Numbers, Chris shows how millions of plastic bottles become an ocean, how that ocean becomes an ocean of plastic pollution, how that plastic pollution becomes a tsunami and so on.
Chris’ work has been exhibited around the world in both solo and group exhibitions, most recently at the Passage de Retz in Paris, France, where he was awarded the 2011 Prix Pictet Commission Prize. In 2010, Chris received the Sierra Club’s prestigious Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, and in 2007 he participated in the Envisioning Change exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway, where he was presented with a Green Leaf Award.
Chris’ work has been featured in magazines, newspapers, blogs and documentary films around the world, and he has published three books: Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption (2005), In Katrina’s Wake: Portraits of Loss from an Unnatural Disaster (2006), and most recently, Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait (2009). His large-scale prints are held in public and private art collections around the globe.
A guest speaker at some of the world’s most prestigious events, including TED and The State of the World Symposium, Chris joins us live to talk about the power of visual storytelling and what that means to us and to our world today.
