media140 #OzPolitics introduced
media140 #OzPolitics was a one-day conference exploring the ways in which political players,
citizens and reporters are using the real time Web, and the impact it is having in a Federal
Election year.
The event brought together speakers from the ranks of journalism, party politics, public relations,
academia, lobby groups, Government 2.0 and blogging in an effort to map the way the political
arena is changing under the influence of social media. The format involved open panels, keynotes
and participatory sessions.
The event was held in Canberra's Old Parliament House and attracted over 300 participants.
About media140
media140 was founded in February 2009 by Andrew Gregson.
The first media140 was launched in London on 20 May 2009 with a conference entitled ‘The future
of real time news’, with over 270 attendees taking part in the first Twitter conference in the UK.
This was followed by a media140 London event on 26 October 2009, focusing on real-time social
media, brands and advertising held at RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) for over 250
delegates.
media140 Sydney was held on 5-6 November 2009 in conjunction with the ABC at Eugene
Goossens’ Hall, focusing on the ‘Future of Journalism in the Social Media Age.’ Over 45
speakers/presenters such as Malcolm Turnbull, Mark Scott (ABC), Jay Rosen (NYU), Annabel
Crabb, Mia Freedman, Riyaad Minty (Al Jazeera), Claire Wardle (BBC) and Leigh Sales (ABC)
engaged with a 300-strong audience in what was a seminal event looking at how real-time web is
changing the media and journalism industry.

This tweetbook
What is a tweetbook?
A tweetbook is a record of an event captured through the commentary of its attendees and online
participants via tweets, blogs and other social media channels.
The goal of a tweetbook is to capture the flavour and views from an event in a permanent record.
This allows attendees and participants to reflect on and extend their experience and learnings. It
also provides an opportunity for those who could not participate to gain insights into the event.
What does this tweetbook include?

The media140 #OzPolitics tweetbook includes an edited timeline of tweets from the media140
#OzPolitics event, organised and referenced according to panels and speakers.
Following this timeline is an analysis of the Twitter activity for the day, extracts from relevant blog
posts published on the media140 website, and links to other online materials created by
participants and observers commentating, analysing and extending the insights provided by
speakers and discussed by the audience. It is not a full and complete record of the event.
Who compiled this tweetbook?

This book was compiled by Craig Thomler, Government 2.0 advocate and author of eGovAU.

big screens while they are speaking. Very web 2.0
23/09/2010 14:08 Mark Nowicki: Hey kids in the #media140 room... you all look so bored. How about a
smile or two for the cameras? #media140
23/09/2010 14:09 Dragonista: @mikestuchbery : yep, more self justification from one person than from

23/09/2010 14:12 Marie Ryan: Simon Sheik asks can GetUp continue to take risks as the organisation

media140 #OzPolitics blog posts
Australian political cartoonists Jon Kudelka and First Dog on the Moon
interviewed
Posted by Neerav Bhatt on Sep 22, 2010 in Journalism, Political
media140 guest editor Neerav Bhatt recently interviewed Australian political cartoonists
Jon Kudelka and First Dog on The Moon in the run up to the media140 Oz Politics
conference. The following is an excerpt of that interview.
Political cartoons (also known as editorial cartoons) are one of the most powerful parts of the news
media because they’re capable of dissecting complex issues, pointing out the elephant in the room
and ridiculing powerful figures in society far more succinctly than a political journalist can using
hundreds or even thousands of words.
According to the Australian Culture Portal:
Australia has a strong and vibrant history of political cartooning. Since the 1830s, when
political cartoons were first featured in Australian newspapers, they have provided
satirical, witty or humorous comment on political and public affairs, social customs,
fashions, sports events and personalities.

Will social media only come into its own in government when budgets
run out?
Posted by Neerav Bhatt on Sep 23, 2010 in Political
Craig Thomler one of the media140 Canberra bloggers asks: will social media only come
into its own in government when budgets run out?
The US Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich spoke this morning at media140 #Ozpolitics on why President
Obama used social media in such an innovative way during his election campaign.
Bleich said that it wasn’t because President Obama particularly believed that social media was
taking over from traditional media and it wasn’t because his campaign team felt it would
differentiate them from other Democratic candidates.
It was because they didn’t have any choice.
Back in 2006 while Obama had enormous appeal as a Senator he didn’t have the basics to win an
election. No money, endorsements, name recognition or consultants.
He was running against Senator Hilary Clinton – who had been a household name for two
decades, had a good funding machine, had locked up most of the big endorsements and had good
consultants.

The Digital Revolution and politicians
Kate Carruthers one of the media140 Canberra blogging team discusses the Digital
Revolution and politicians.
There has been a misapprehension by many people that old forms of interaction with media will
continue into the future. However, the growth of ubiquitous mobile internet access and the growth
of partial attention to multiple forms of media is the revolution in media consumption.
We are seeing the proliferation of digital television stations and with the planned implementation of
the National Broadband Network there will be new capabilities for interactive real-time interactions.
The supposition that the web will remain something that is tied to computer on a desk is wrong.
There is a shift in the web to mobile devices and to other devices like televisions. Thus the web is
becoming mobile, local and highly interactive. Ordinary people will continue to engage via these
platforms. The growth in online participation both overseas and in Australia continues its strong
upward trend.

Killing me softly with your tweet

Grogs Gamut one of the media140 Canberra blogging team gives examples of the
mainstream media using twitter to generate stories and how this is not always in the
interest of good policy or the discussion of complex ideas.
At the media140 conference in Canberra today, Independent MP Rob Oakeshott talked of how
when he was delivering his 17 minutes speech explaining why he was going to support the ALP
the last thing on his mind was that the length of his speech would become the most important part.
While he delivered his announcement he said he was unaware that “twitter was killing him while
I was speaking”. He also noted that as a result of this, the contact of his speech was virtually
ignored.
His comments and those also by Senator Kate Lundy on the impact of her tweet during the ALP
leadership spill demonstrates that social media reaction can become the story, because the instant
feedback it provides.
