Who's Making the News?
Audiences are swamping news organisations with mobile phone video and stills, e-mails, texts, blogs and more. The BBC, for example, gets 10,000 e-mails and hundreds of pictures every day. So how much is this audience participation changing the landscape of journalism? Is this 'user-generated content' just a passing fad, or an integral part of all our futures? What is the potential of user-generated content? And what are the pitfalls and legal and ethical dilemmas around using it? With the daily possibility of being hoaxed, how do we authenticate it - how do we know what's true?
Produced by the BBC College of Journalism. It trains BBC journalists in the uses and abuses of audience participation and user-generated content. With Pete Clifton, Head of BBC Interactive, and Charles Leadbeater, leading authority and advisor on innovation and creativity in organizations; Tony Burman, Editor in Chief, CBC News, Current Affairs, and Newsworld; Premesh Chandran, Founder and CEO, Independent Malaysiakini.com. Chaired by Huw Edwards, Presenter, BBC News.

Technology: Don't blink. The times they are a'changin'.
News Xchange 2006 puts you ahead of tomorrow's conventional wisdom about where it's all going.
The long tail. Narrowcasting. Time-shifting. Broadband channels. Social networking. Video-sharing. The way we receive and share information is changing, and players such as YouTube, MySpace, and Google Video are leading the way. Niche programming is in; some say traditional broadcasting is out. Is this the death of linear TV?
With contributions from Patrick Walker, Head of Content Partnerships for Google Video; Neil Budde, General Manager and Executive Producer, Yahoo! News; Joe Trainor, Vice President of Narrowstep; Lindsay Charlton, Project Manager, ITV Local; Mark Lukasiewicz, Vice President, Digital Media, NBC News; Andrew Hawken, Editorial Director, Online, Sky; Matt Cowan, Correspondent, Reuters Report.
Chaired by Jian Ghomeshi, broadcaster, writer, producer.

Keynote: Turkish Prime Minister RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN
Is Turkey at the tipping point? With new polls showing Turks increasingly opposed to membership in the EU, and the EU publishing its latest report on Turkey's qualifications to join, is time running out on this NATO country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia? What fallout for Turkey from the disintegration of Iraq? Can the government of Prime Minister Erdogan contain the Kurdish separatist movement and tame Turkish nationalism?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan became Prime Minister of Turkey in March 2003. He heads the AKP (Justice and Development Party) Before turning to national politics, Erdogan established his power base in Istanbul where he was elected mayor in 1994. Described in a BBC profile as a "charismatic leader," Prime Minister Erdogan promises to provoke a lively debate about Turkey and its future!
Chaired by Gisele Khoury, presenter, Al Arabiya
Among contributors to a discussion on the future of Turkey following Prime Minister Erdogan's keynote address will be author and journalist Elif Shafak, and Jim Bittermann, Senior European Correspondent, CNN.
