Media Using Computers

Media GroupSince this is a “media” event then there’s got to be some media. Well here we are (I’m behind the camera). It’s a pretty good group of web/broadcast/print media representatives. I think it’s interesting that you can hear 6 different computers clicking away!

Media ForumThis is a big head table. Kind of hard to get into one shot. You’ll have to listen to the audio to hear their introduction by Joe Schuele, NCBA. This is the Cattle Industry Convention Media Forum just prior to our reception this evening. The event was sponsored by Merial.

AAEA ByLineIn the latest issue of the AAEA Byline (you’ve got to be a member to read it) there’s an article on ethics called “Beware The Ethics Swamp.” It’s written by Elaine Shein. I think this is a great subject to do a series of articles on.

Chuck Zimmerman

Osborn-Barr CommunicationsI think this is the most exciting time in agricultural communications that I’ve ever seen! I’ve been involved in presentations and discussions today in the Des Moines area that I wish I could have recorded. The questions being asked and the options to reach farmers being discussed are revolutionary. Speaking of revolutionary how about this announcement from Osborn & Barr Communications?

Who’s Listening To Podcasts

Chuck Zimmerman

Here’s an interesting story on eMarketer on podcasting (via Sunblog). They have a nice graph showing how there were only 1 million radio listeners who downloaded a podcast in 2004, 5 million in 2005 and it’s projected to be 9.3 million in 2006. They project on up to 62.8 million in 2010.
