In this podcast PhD researcher Sarah Logan examines how information technology and social media are changing the face of politics in Papua New Guinea.
Mobile phone use and internet access have increased exponentially in PNG over the past five years, a trend which is set to continue. This increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) is unprecedented in a country with historically low rates of landline use and a relatively sparsely populated media environment.
However, despite this striking change in the media landscape and increasing evidence of its impact on politics in PNG, there is very little research on the political impact of ICT use in PNG. This seminar places what little we know about this issue in the context of research elsewhere on the impact of ICT on politics. Drawing on literature on the use of the Internet and mobile phones to organise political protests, to enhance transparency initiatives and to increase political engagement, this seminar outlines relevant findings in research conducted elsewhere. The seminar goes on to argue that key features of PNG’s political, social and cultural environment mean that although useful the application of such research to PNG is relatively limited.
Sarah Logan is a PhD candidate in the Department of International Relations at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and was previously a visiting scholar at Columbia University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. She was a researcher at the Office of National Assessments (ONA) from 2006 - 2012. Sarah’s research interests revolve around the impact of the internet on international politics, especially the evolution of political community in international relations and the impact of ICT on political institutions in fragile states. In 2012 She published a discussion paper with SSGM on digital politics in PNG. She blogs at www.ircircuit.com and tweets as @circt.

Marco Arment’s career has come in two main acts: as the first employee of Tumblr, he helped create a service that changed the fundamental nature of blogging by introducing both ease of creation and social networking. While there, he toyed with a service, to let him read Web pages offline without formatting, that became Instapaper. In late 2010, he left Tumblr to focus on that service full time. Now Marco is a successful podcaster and the editorial director of The Magazine — the best publication ever created — at which I’m the editor and he’s my boss! (I still have a job after we recorded the podcast.)
Our conversation will be aired in two parts, each about an hour long. In this first part, we talk about how as a Tumblr developer Marco found out he didn’t want to manage people, how Instapaper developed, and issues of managing resources and scaling. In the second, we move further into podcasting, The Magazine, blogging, advertising, and other areas.

Jonathan Coulton has called into existence a world in which a bearded Brooklyn-residing, Yale-graduated, Whiffenpoof-participating programmer singing songs on nerdy topics he records in a home studio posted to the Internet can quit his job, build an army of fans, give his music partly away, attract 700 people to a themed cruise, become a regular on public radio, and have his work ripped off by a major network television show. We talk about his singing background, how his career began and progressed, and how you bring your fans with you when your style matures.
