Rts Programme RTS London Conference 2018 Is Bigger Better? Will the “consolidation game” help TV tip the scales against the tech giants? Draft Programme @ 21 August 2018 08.00 Registration opens 08.55 Opening Welcome by David Lynn, RTS Convention Chair and President & CEO, VIMN 09.05 Session One: A full set of FAANGs The FAANGs have yet to take too big a bite out of TV’s share of viewing. But with Facebook, Apple and Google now promising to join Netflix and Amazon in investing billions in video streaming, major entertainment companies, notably Disney and Fox, are rushing to consolidate. This strategy session explores the consumer, creative and commercial impact of the new entrants and the ongoing shift from scheduled to on-demand viewing. Are mergers and acquisitions the only way forward for broadcasters and producers? When it comes to doing battle or business with the Tech Giants, is bigger better?

But tackling inequalities across gender, race, disability and social mobility is a challenge, so how can we learn what works and define best practice? Can we learn from other sectors? Deborah Williams (CEO of CDN) gives an update on the current state of play in the broadcasting industry followed by a discussion with Mark McLane (Barclays) Anne Nguyen (BCG) and Karen Blackett (WPP) with examples of good practice elsewhere.

From mobile Virtual Assistants to Artificially Intelligent TVs to Smart Speakers, Voice is now impacting the broadcasting industry in exciting and explorative ways. Targeted Advertising, Personalised Discovery, Fake News? What opportunities does this audio-based medium hold and what issues does it bring along with it? How will advancements in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Biometrics drive the platform forward and really get to the heart of the consumer? Chair Kate Russell, Technology Reporter, BBC Click Speakers Matthew Postgate, Chief Technology & Product Officer, BBC Babak Hodjat, Co-Founder & CEO, Sentient Technologies Further speakers tbc 12.20 Session Five: Tomorrow’s BBC: Meeting The Challenges of the Future An address by Tony Hall, Director-General of the BBC, followed by Q&A with Zainab Badawi Chair Zainab Badawi, Presenter, BBC News Speaker Tony Hall, Director-General, BBC 12.50 Lunch 13.50 Session Six: Carolyn McCall Carolyn McCall, ITV’s Chief Executive, in conversation with Tim Hincks Chair Tim Hincks, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Expectation Entertainment Speakers Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive, ITV 14.15 Session Seven: Commission Accomplished We all know the market is changing shape. But what of the shows within it? What does it mean to commission linear television in an increasingly SVOD world? Meanwhile, what are the new entrants really looking for? And are these platform distinctions as cut and dried as they seem? Amazon’s Georgia Brown, Channel 4’s Ian Katz and Sky’s Zai Bennett discuss content in a shifting world with Kirsty Wark.

Chair Tim Hincks, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Expectation Entertainment Speaker Alex Mahon, Chief Executive, Channel 4 16.40 Session Ten: How To Regulate The Internet – Audience Protection In A Digital Age Even Mark Zuckerberg agrees that regulation of online platforms is inevitable. The question now is “how do you do it”? With a white paper on internet regulation expected in the Autumn, this session will examine what steps the Government must take to ensure a level playing field between broadcasters and technology companies. Has the time come for an internet regulator? And do successful broadcasting rules – like the watershed, advertising rules and impartiality – have a place in an online regime?

    TV: A CULTURE OF ABUSE? THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL TV FESTIVAL AND 5 NEWS ANNOUNCE INDUSTRY-WIDE SURVEY RESULTS ON BULLYING AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT • 71% of those surveyed have experienced bullying at work • 68% of those who were bullied did not report it • 54% of those surveyed have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace • 84% of those experiencing sexual harassment did not report it EITF and 5 News conducted an anonymous, industry-wide survey to better understand how prevalent bullying and harassment is within television. A total of 315 people completed the survey, including employees and freelancers from broadcasters and independent production companies, in roles ranging from commissioners and executive producers, to development producers, production managers and series producers. The results showed that a shocking 71% have experienced bullying at work with 65% reporting that it took place in the office and 22% on set or location. Of those reporting as victims of bullying, 78% are female and 22% male and 38% are from indie sector, 31% are freelancers, 17% broadcasters, 14% other. 68% of those surveyed didn’t report it, 78% of which were concerned that if they did, they would lose their job, or it would have negative repercussions on their career. The survey also included anonymous comments which reflect the realities of the work place: “The stigma of reporting bad behaviour needs to be removed. If anyone (especially junior team members) complain about bullying behaviour / harassment, it is them who are isolated and struggle to find work again, rather than the perpetrator.” “Freelancing keeps people silent because they fear that today's bully is tomorrow's boss.” Meanwhile 54% of people have experienced sexual harassment at work, 84% of whom didn’t report it.

  • Where's George Bush? University Students Weather the Trauma Storm of Hurricane Katrina
    Volume 5 number 2 Journalism Education page 75 Where’s George Bush? University students weather the trauma storm of Hurricane Katrina Stephen Jukes, Bournemouth University. Abstract Even hardened journalists can experience psychological strains when covering harrowing news stories of conflict, disaster and human suffering. Over the past 10 years, the incidence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in war correspondents has been well documented and awareness among mainstream news organisations of the dangers to mental health posed by prolonged expo- sure to such reporting has risen. But how does a group of student journalists – the next generation of news pro- fessionals - cope under pressure when confronted with a realistic role-play scenario depicting the chaos and per- sonal trauma of a natural disaster? And what are the im- plications for the learning and teaching of the core skills of journalism and story telling? This paper, based on ob- servation and questioning of a cohort of postgraduate journalism students taking part in a complex exercise built around the 2005 Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, ex- plores two main areas: firstly, the personal experience of students interviewing actors portraying victims and survivors of the hurricane; and secondly their practice Articles Page 76 Journalism Education Volume 5 number 2 of journalism when confronted with interview subjects themselves displaying symptoms of distress. The explo- ration is complemented by an analysis of the multi-media reporting produced by students taking part in the exer- cise, assessing the extent to which journalism’s objectiv- ity norm is upheld under pressure and the way in which the students frame reporting of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

  • 2016 Annual Review.Pdf
    Henry V All photos, unless stated, Johan Persson. “What an audacious and imaginative start this is to the Open Air Theatre’s season” Evening Standard Continuing our ambition to stage large scale theatre for families, Michael Morpurgo’s jungle adventure, Running Wild, incorporated a Young People’s Ensemble of over 50 drawn from our local community, as well as life-size puppetry in the form of orang-utans, a tiger and an elephant. Co-produced with Chichester Festival Theatre, the production embarks on a UK tour in 2017. Opening on the eve of the EU referendum, Henry V - Shakespeare’s play examining England’s relationship with her European neighbours - was staged to celebrate his legacy in this, the 400th anniversary of his death. With Michelle Terry in the title role, a soundscape of warfare played throughout the venue accompanying choreographed battles. “What better example of the unintentionally site-specific. Regent’s Park becomes a version of an ideal Britain. Lush, green, inviting. Around the stage, bushes press in, heavy with rain. Birds don’t so much chirrup as bellow their freedom. They soar over the stage, unchallenged across boundaries” (Observer) As a self-funded charity with ticket sales accounting for over 90% of income, audience engagement and development are key to our success. Jesus Christ Superstar and Pride and Prejudice played to capacity audiences, with both productions continuing into 2017; Pride and Prejudice tours the UK until March and Jesus Christ Superstar returns to the Open Air Theatre to conclude the 2017 season giving audiences one final chance to see it in its original home.
