Advertising Effectiveness and the Future Funding of Broadcasting
DATELINE: 2/12/05
Westminster Media Forum consultation seminar (All day, 14th December 2005, at Lewis Media Centre, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London SW1).
The focus for the seminar is the way commercial television will be paid for in the future. Organised in liaison with officials at Ofcom, it is structured and scheduled to feed into the regulator’s important consultation on these issues and to provide a timely update for interested Parliamentarians and government officials.
The Ofcom officials most closely involved in the consultation are due to be present throughout this Westminster Media Forum seminar.
The output will be a comprehensive printed record of the proceedings. This will be published as a bound briefing document for Ofcom officials, members of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, other Parliamentarians with a special interest in this area, Ministers and departmental officials - and made available more widely. All delegates will have an opportunity to contribute to the publication and will receive free PDF versions.
The seminar is made possible through support from Channel 4 and ITV.
Issues being examined include:
- Spot advertising’s future as the leading revenue generator for commercial television;
- How product placement, advertiser funded programming, interactive ads and tele-shopping will fit into the revenue mix;
- Intensifying platform competition from games, PVRs and mobile;
- Implications for the consumer-citizen: quality, ethical issues and the danger of alienation;
- Ideas on how new forms of funding can be made to work commercially and editorially; and
- Future directions for policy and regulation.

World Press Freedom Day
More reporters are currently imprisoned in Turkey than in any other country in the world. Only a matter of weeks ago lawyers failed to persuade a Turkish court to release a 76-year-old journalist from a Turkish internet news station.
World Press Freedom Day on Friday May 3, 2013 is being marked in Britain by a rally to highlight the dangers facing journalists in Turkey and in this podcast, Nicholas Jones speaks to Barry White, Organiser at the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom, and Sam Bamford, the TUC's policy officer for Eastern Europe and Africa about the importance of a campaign to highlight international press freedom.
The World Press Freedom Day rally is being staged by the National Union of Journalists at the NUJ head office, Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1 on Thursday May 2, 6pm-8pm.

UK launch of EU media campaign
DATELINE: 13/3/13
The UK launch of a 'European Citizens' Initiative' calling for EU rules against concentration of media power will take place on Thursday March 21 from 11:00am – 12:30pm in Committee Room 4A at the House of Lords, London. Guest speakers will include actor and activist Hugh Grant (pictured), media consultant Claire Enders, Professor Steven Barnett, Barry McCall (President of the NUJ) and Marc Gruber (Director of the European Federation of Journalists).
A European Citizens' Initiative is an official petition, like a Downing Street petition. If it succeeds in gathering a million signatures across the EU, the Commission is obliged to respond.
This petition calls for the EU to act to protect media pluralism and press freedom.

MEDIA MANIFESTO
DATELINE: 26/3/10
The media’s job is to inform and entertain us but we rely on them too to tell us what our rulers and representatives are up to. In the run-up to the Iraq war the government used spin and disinformation in the media to create panic and mislead people. The truth is coming out now, but we need stronger, more independent media to be able to scrutinise governments and make informed choices.
