Citizen Journalism – project 3
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
We’ve been working with media students and tutors from City of Bristol College on our latest excursion into citizen journalism. The event we covered this time was Oktoberfest – not the beery one in Germany but a two-wheeled challenge in Ashton Court! Oktoberfest is a day-long mountain bike competition that attracts hundreds of participants from far and wide who ride the new trail in Ashton Court several times over – fastest time wins a prize! Cycling has been a bit of a theme these last few months and there’s an interview with Cyclescreen’s Tommy Curtis from Oktoberfest on one of the student blogs!
Before we took on the bikers on Saturday we began training sessions with the students at the beginning of October at the College, Watershed and the Pervasive Media Studio and then sent them out into the city (with support and smart phones!) to try out their reporting skills for half a day in Stokes Croft. You can learn more about the project here and links to the student blogs are as follows: Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D. (more…)

Cyclescreen – the event
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Cyclescreen happened to lots of different people between 5th – 8th August! Over 600 cycling fans came for the talks and documentaries, others went on bike treasure hunts, some pedalled to power a projector so they could watch bike movies and 60 people signed up for Rollapaluza – a thrilling time trial event on fixed bikes held in Watershed’s cafe bar in front of a very enthusiastic audience of almost 200.
More photos of the weekend’s events can be seen in the Cyclescreen event gallery
