Spreadable Media: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture

  • Hi there!

    I am a Norwegian journalist, academic and web series aficionado living in Melbourne, Australia.

    I teach journalism at La Trobe University, and my subjects focus on multimedia journalism, digital publishing and law/ethics. I have a background as a newspaper journalist, but in my PhD project I explored and experimented with new media technologies, and made a documentary travel web series called The Inland Sea: An Australian Odyssey.

    I am also the Director of Melbourne WebFest — Australia's first and only international web series festival. Find us at www.melbournewebfest.com.

    All the best,
    Steinar
