Getting It Right!
Thursday, 28 November
VLV’s 19th Autumn
Conference, London WC1
Keynote speaker: Lord Puttnam
of Queensgate CBE
Chair, Joint Parliamentary Committee
scrutinising the draft Communicatons Bill.
The new Communications Bill will introduce
controversial and radical changes in the remit, regulation and ownership
of Britain’s public service broadcasters with far-reaching
implications for the future of British
cultural and democratic life. Among the most
controversial proposals are those to lift
restrictions on foreign (non-EEA) companies buying British media interests,
including ITV, and on major newspaper owners buying Channel 5.
The Joint Scrutiny Committee recommended
no change in the current media ownership
rules. This conference will encourage
public debate about these crucially important issues.
Tickets: £80, concessions
on request, including lunch .
Venue: 11.00am –15.30pm, Hamilton
House, London WC1.
