Cache Rules Everything Around Me: Hip-Hop Journalism in the Information Age

In a media landscape controlled by only a few major corporations, efforts to utilize hip-hop and related art as a vehicle for social change can often be unfairly marginalized, diminished and in some cases, completely erased. Despite the explosive increase of content creators distributing information online, bloggers, journalists and podcasters serious about advancing idealistic narratives face severe challenges, and require heightened knowledge of ever-shifting technological changes, as well as competing media landscapes. This workshop will help reinforce online journalism basics, introduce innovative ideas and philosophies and explore best (and worst) practices, with particular focus on how best to use technology to properly document the full breadth of hip hop music and culture, especially how it serves as a catalyst for positive social change.
 
Manny Faces is an award-winning news media journalist and digital strategist based in the New York area. He frequently lectures on the topics of hip-hop, journalism and technology, most recently at the Trinity International Hip-Hop Festival at Trinity College and the Circling the Elements Hip-Hop Conference at Albany State University. He is the founder and executive director of The Center for Hip-Hop Advocacy, a think-tank styled advocacy group working to improve public perception of hip-hop music and culture. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Birthplace Magazine, a thriving online entertainment and lifestyle destination focusing on hip-hop music and culture in the New York metropolitan area.
