The Brisbane Media Map (BMM) provides information and links to some 500 media and related organisations serving Brisbane, Australia, as well as supplementary information and analysis on various issues and trends in media including diversity, localism and innovation. The BMM is a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about the Brisbane mediascape.

The BMM is produced and updated annually by Media and Communication students enrolled in KCB303 Applied Media Communication in the Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology.

In 2002, I was a tutor in KCB348 and responsible for project management, look and feel, PHP / MySQL programming and development of the frontend website. From 2003 onwards, I have been responsible for the development of the backend, database management system, design and functionality of the site.

The media map system has been ported and installed at University of Technology, Sydney; La Trobe University, Melbourne, and Malmö University, Sweden.
