With the introduction of iTunes U Apple is largely burying the idea that these audio and video shows are podcasts. There is no mention about podcasting in Apple’s press release and there’s nothing in iTunes to reveal to typical users that the content might be podcasts. Slightly confusingly the free content is available through the iTunes U section of the Apple Store but shows up in iTunes’ podcast section once added. iTunes U provides a dedicated page for each university with custom branding and links to significant university resources.

It would be authentic raw and compelling without being sensational. Instead of the stock answers we hear from prisoners in television soundbites you might hear “Jamie” own up to the fact that he has never told his kids he is inside because he is so ashamed and that they think he is at work. r about how “Bruno” only gets a buzz from crime and feels “the butterflies when I’m on a bit of work” and has never held down any other job. You’d hear prisoners talking to each other intimately and frankly from a shared position of trust and common knowledge… Campaigners and charity workers do not have to wait for the media to take an interest in their issue – they can produce material themselves that will be of interest to their target audience as opposed to mainstream media which must appeal to a much wider audience. However most of my time has shifted towards working with marginalised groups because there is something that worries me about the digital revolution. When I surf through blogs podcasts and content sharing sites such as YouTube and MySpace (examples of internet technology known as web 2. 0) it is the same familiar demographic that is generating the content. For example Al Gore’s citizen journalism channel Current TV launched recently in the UK and Ireland. My concern is that powerful as some of the content is on Current TV and sites like it the people producing it are on the whole privileged confident and articulate members of society who already have a voice and are more accurately represented in newspapers and broadcast media to begin with. I have delivered workshops to homeless groups for example who have access to the internet through organisations but who don’t blog about their experiences or contribute to any online debate.
