Home again!
Week researching book in South Wales, a real emotional roller-coaster. People kept saying:"I have never talked about this before…" It was a cathartic experience with some breaking down and crying.
Came back to Scotland to find 53 phone calls, emails and letters waiting: all from people wanting to share their memories and photographs. My partner has been acting as my secretary and he says that after each traumatic phone call he needed" to sit down with a stiff drink".
It was with relief that I switched on the computer and moved into the virtual world. Several more have joined my video site on You Tube.
Oh yes, I got a letter from Brigadier Derek Kirk saying that my video of the Argyll's march through Stirling has gone into the Regimental museum in Stirling Castle.
Just when I thought I was getting comfy in new media, having cast aside traditional media, I discover this is being replaced by social media.
MediaGuardian are running a one day conference on March 22 which is described as a "multi-stream summit….challenges facing traditional media in the digital age…consider the impact of changing from new media to social media, the effect of IPTV and internet radio and the challenge of democratising content in the user-in-control era."
What's IPTV?
