MEAA/Walkley Public Affairs conference - “Public affairs in the Age of Rudd”.
There’s not a lot of detail on the programme at this stage, but the MEAA and the Walkley Awards are co-hosting a conference, “Public Affairs in the Age of Rudd“, in Canberra on the 19th and 20th of August. If it’s anywhere near as stimulating as the the “Future of Journalism”, it’s bound to be worth attending. There are a number of panels on new media and public engagement, and some assessments of the demographic, institutional and personnel changes that will frame the Rudd era.
I’m going to try to attend, but I’m hoping I won’t be wasting my money - Andrew Bolt only gives 80-1 odds on Rudd surviving his first term!
