How will the media - whether books, films, music, radio or television - be funded in future?
As Google and other digital businesses are already steadily eating away at traditional media income streams like advertising and royalties, future sources of income were one of the main themes discussed at the 2009 Somerville Media Day which was chaired by TV News London’s Managing Director, Roz Morris (pictured far left above).
Speakers pictured above included (from left to right) - BBC broadcaster and TV News London media and presentation trainer, Kati Whitaker (standing next to Roz), media and entertainment law expert, Rebecca Swindells from Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, Novelist, Maggie Gee, Former Chief Creative Officer of Endemol, Peter Bazalgette, and broadcaster, Rebecca Wilcox.
Following in the tradition of Somerville media days, all the speakers are Somerville graduates except Peter Bazalgette whose wife Hilary is a Somervillian.
The confrerence was held in the Margaret Thatcher Centre at Somerville College, Oxford.
