IN SO MANY WORDS
Will Harvie, Moata Tamaira, Lara Strongman & Donna Robertson
In good times – and in bad, as Christchurch knows all too well – social media have an unparalleled ability to give an immediate account of events and to convey vital information. But how does the traditional written word make its way in a world of tweeting, blogging, Facebook and digital publishing? Can traditional books and the social media work happily together and, if so, how? A group of techno-savvy communicators, Will Harvie, Lara Strongman, Moata Tamaira and Donna Robertson, discuss these matters and much more. Follow them as they blog and tweet during the festival.
Will Harvie is the technology and TV editor at The Press, the Fairfax Christchurch earthquake blogger and an unpublished fiction writer.
