Press Release 29 October 2001
Broadcasting and the New Environment
VLV's 18th Autumn Conference, Wednesday,
28 November,
Hamilton House, London WC1,
The morning will be devoted to an open discussion
of current issues, especially progress on the introduction of digital broadcasting
and the government's Digital Action Plan. Time will also be given to digital
radio by a panel which will include:
Michael Starks, BBC Project Director, Free-to-view
Simon Spanswick, Director, Association
for International Broadcasting David Johnston, Digital Director, PhilipsSemiconductors
& Digital Television Group
Gerry Stallard. ITC Manager of Technical
Information
David Harby, Commercial Manager, Nokia
UK Ltd
After lunch the focus will be on News in
the changed broadcasting environment since September 11th. New technology
made it possible, for the first time, for live coverage of the developing
disaster at the World Trade Centre to be carried on virtually all channels.
What problems and what sorts of immediate
decisions did the broadcasters face? What sorts of restrictions are there
on the stories they cover? Will they change if the emergency continues
into the New Year? What has it cost? Who will pay the bill? How does the
World Service cover the same issues for its widely disparate audience?
These and other questions will discussed
by a panel including:
Roger Mosey, Head of BBC Newsgathering
Phil Harding, BBC World Service Director
of English Networks and News
Nick Pollard, Head of Sky News
Richard Tait, Editor-in-Chief, ITN
Tickets £80, student and individual
concessions £18.50.
