World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia & Telecommunications is an international conference, organized by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE). This annual conference serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion and exchange of information on the research, development, and applications on all topics related to multimedia, hypermedia and telecommunications/distance education.

In our eighth annual Northeast Media Literacy Conference, a major focus will be on media literacy as the critical 21st century skill and the growing need to help young people to develop critical thinking skills in understanding and interpreting the ubiquitous media world and its impact upon the changing youth culture – in terms of its use of time, thinking, priorities, decisions, actions, and values – and the implications for possible changes in our media literacy efforts in our schools and youth-oriented organizations.

We Media connects individuals and organizations from across industries who believe the power of media, communication and human ingenuity should be applied to innovate in business AND to make the world better through media. Leaders from all sectors, fields and disciplines join enterprising citizens in participatory programs, unscripted dialogue, workshops, demos and networking events aimed at using the power of our media to strengthen communities geographic and virtual.

Get ready for another top-notch, high-tech learning experience! The Conference is designed to equip associations and nonprofit organizations with the tools needed to keep pace with the rapidly changing world; to strategically use technology to better serve their members, effect social change and uphold their missions.

The Allied Media Conference is the central project of the Allied Media Projects (AMP) network, which emerges out of ten years of organic relationship-building. Since the first conference (then the Midwest Zine Conference) in 1999, people have been compelled by the concept of do-it-yourself media. Later, as the Underground Publishing Conference, the emphasis was on building a movement of alternative media makers. With the shift towards Allied Media, the AMC has attracted more and more people who are interested in using participatory media as a strategy for social justice organizing.

The news industry is in transition. Newspapers have lost much of their classified advertising revenues to online services, and some question how they will weather the development of targeted behavioral and other online advertising, online news aggregators, and other factors. How cable, broadcast, and other news organizations will respond to similar challenges is under discussion. Some predict that in a few years, television and radio will find themselves in situations similar to those facing newspapers.
