We asked Marko Kulik how his session, A Good Picture is Worth a Thousand Words – Crash-Course and Quick Tips in Photography, challenges prevailing thought.

We all know that photos help explain and define a given context. With blogging for example it’s far easier to read and digest larger portions of text if they have some contextually relevant photography mixed in. That said, the quality of the photography should match the quality of the blog post. Blogging, podcasting and new media have developed to the point where quality content reigns supreme. There aren’t just a handful of podcasts or blogs; there are millions of them worldwide. Competition for brains, eyeballs and loyalty is fierce and the best way to maintain that loyalty is through quality. With a few photography tips, people can increase the quality of the images they take, thereby producing better and stickier content overall.

Marko will be speaking at 3:00pm on Saturday, June 20 as part of the PAB09 program.

We asked Chris Penn how his session, Why Monetization is Vital to New Media, challenges prevailing thought.

I want everyone to walk away with a much better understanding of money, value, and how it all relates to new media in a much bigger picture perspective than the usual “make money with your XXX” garbage that’s always floating around. Whatever the shiny object is, there’s always the used car salesmen looking for a fast buck and always some folks who are sustainably successful. By the time I’m done, I hope that the audience understands what it takes to be the latter. Do you know where money comes from, why it exists, and how it relates to your new media efforts?
