On the eve of the 2007 federal election well known pollster, Mr Sol Lebovic will deliver a keynote address to the Australian Media Traditions conference at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Bathurst Campus on Thursday 22 November. Mr Lebovic is the founder of Newspoll and is The Australian newspaper’s polling consultant for the 2007 federal election campaign. The conference is being hosted by CSU’s School of Communications. The School, in association with radio station 2MCE-FM, is using the latest in web streaming technology to broadcast Mr Lebovic’s address over the internet, as well as the Friday keynote address by Ms Rose Holley from the National Library of Australia (NLA). The live internet broadcasts will be transmitted via the AMT Live! on the conference website. Ms Holley is the manager of the NLA’s newspaper digitisation program, which aims to digitise all Australian newspapers, allowing Australians to share in the country’s wealth of newspaper heritage. Conference convenor Ms Margaret Van Heekeren, from the CSU School of Communications, said the use of web streaming technology “takes the conference out of the conference room and gives the broader public a chance to hear from experts”.
