mark waddington starts a new job directing yorkshire itv and posts about news 2.0 - seems like the values of web 2.0 are set to influence the making of news - user generated content, self publishing, architecture of participation and all that... if you are in yorkshire and want to make films contact mark.
on the subject of all things 2.0, nic reflects on visual engineering in graphic design...
Thanks for the mention. Yes, we'll be hungry for contributions even now as we have a test site up and are getting the technology to work. Short films, video art, video diaries etc.

Jonny, there's a great article on MetaMute by Paul Helliwell.Check out this angle ‘monetise eyeballs’!

'In commercial TV, wealth is circulated in two subsystems – one that produces the programmes and sells them to TV companies, and the second where TV companies sell the viewers watching them to the advertisers. Web 2.0 dispenses with the first subsystem; you provide the content for free, leaving only the second need to ‘monetise eyeballs’ in MySpace co-founder Chris deWolfe's parlance.'
