2010: A Year in Review
After 10 years of presenting a review of the preceding year on the MaltaMedia Online Network, elements of the same production team are contributing a similar review to the M3P. The 2010 review is now accessible via M3P and contributions to it are welcome from all registered users in the same spirit as everything else on this website. It is envisioned that reviews of previous years throughout the first decade of the 21th century will be brought to the M3P and archived here accordingly.
Academic Research
Academic research is an essential dimension of this project. The collaborative partners on this aspect of M3P are from the University of Hull (led by Dr Toni Sant from the School of Arts & New Media and supported by researchers Alex Grech and Tony Grimaud) and the University of Malta (Dr Ing Saviour Zammit from the Dept. of Communications & Computer Engineering and Dr Albert Bell from Youth & Community Studies). A position paper by Toni Sant appears in the December 2009 issue of the Journal of Music, Technology & Education. An academic conference is being planned to take place at St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity in Valletta on 3-4 June 2011 to address this particular aspect of M3P. Support for this event is partially provided by the Malta Arts Fund of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts.
Contributions from the scene
- Pierre Portelli created the M3P logo and after several iterations we settled on the one you see on the site right now. We're hoping to have a page about the history of the logo as one of the project pages in the near future.
- Michael Bugeja has contributed the Lib66 directory of the Malta music scene and his newspaper articles, which are also coming together as a page called Articles by Michael Bugeja under the category Newspaper articles - but this probably needs to be a proper sub-category. Suggestions/comments welcome at Talk:Main Page.
- Wayne Flask is contributing his articles from magazines and newspapers too.
- Dean Muscat is contributing his gig reviews.
