On the OCR media studies email forum there has been some interesting
discussion in the past few days about this article, which may be of interest
to the MeCCSA list:

taking on board digital media, and the fact that many people can make it,
which then changes everything else and challenges conventional 'expertise'.
Interesting. Some teachers argue they're already doing this, others are
horrified about the possible loss of the old model that they're comfortable
with...
