Hi everyone,

I met Shelley in the "Informal Meeting with CC Artists from the
Philippines - Drip" (http://hk.creativecommons.org/2009/02/27/drip/)
on the Sunday before last. She is a Visiting Fellow from the School
of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong and keen to promote CC
and Free Culture. Please consider attending the two seminars.

Regards,

Haggen

> consumption is undergoing a radical transformation.  The audience is

> As established avenues for income dwindle in a recession, opportunities for
> innovating new paths multiply.  Entertainment is typically regarded as a
> "recession-proof" industry, but this does not mean that existing firms are
> impervious to economic losses.  This talk will focus, not on how to best
> prepare for jobs in the media industry as it is currently configured, but
> how old industry jobs might be reconfigured, or new ones invented.
