Alastair Smith, Communications Adviser at Newcastle City Council kicked off the PSFBuzz  afternoon sessions with what he modestly describes as ‘essentially a 25 minute rant on online reputation and shifting roles in local government communication’.  His talk covered Newcastle CC’s Twitter Channel which, much like his presentation, seems to have gone a storm. The age of one-way communication is over, he said. ‘Broadcasting as we knew it is dead.’

Alastair has blogged his presentation which you can catch  here (except if you’re of a very sensitive disposition).  And check out his slides below:
