Digital junkyards?
A new project that might be of use to journalists and journalism students is the Open Source Media Project (www.open-media.org/). This aims to turn into an open source repository of digital media and should include all kinds of multimedia content, generally produced by ordinary people who have moblogged or photographed or videoed things that happened. The site will store the content for free (courtesy of space donated by the Internet Archive) and make it available under Creative Commons licenses. Closer to home, the Australian Creative Sources Online (www.uq.edu.au/acro/) site aims to store Australian digital media content. Neither site has much of anything on board at the moment but it might be wise to bookmark them for later on. Posted by belinda at August 20, 2004 12:35 PMEmail this
