Beyond the Box: Media Access Anywhere and Everywhere (Brighton, MA, USA)
Saturday, January 19th, 2008 by Bob Goodman| February 6, 2008 | ||
| 6:30 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Boston-IA and WGBH present Larry Goldberg, Director of the Media Access Group at WGBH. He will discuss the ground-breaking work that Boston’s public radio and television producer continues to do to make multimedia accessible for people with disabilities.
As media changes from analog to digital, from fixed to mobile, from broadcast to the Internet, captioning and video description must change as well. New and emerging applications for captioning and video description are being developed and proliferated today by the Media Access Group at WGBH and its business partners.
Larry Goldberg will discuss the promise and problems of captioning and description for personal data assistants (PDAs), cell phones, digital TV, digital cinema, DVDs, in-flight systems, and Internet-based educational and entertainment services.
The meeting will take place at the new WGBH facilities in Brighton.
