Workshop:
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.
