Where's the Money in the Media? |
Panelists and discussion at May 27, 2009 "Where's the Money in the Media?" event at VIVO Media Arts Centre, Vancouver. |
 |
| At this critical time when the new media environment is being molded and the traditional news industry is in a state of decline, creative approaches to journalism are urgently needed. Yet politicians and policy makers are poised to further support the big conglomerates that got us into this mess in the first place.Canwest and other corporate media may even get a government bailout. At the same time, CBC is slashing jobs and programming under unprecedented cuts, and there is no end in sight. |
 | - If news financed by big business is failing, what alternatives do we have? - What role could/should CBC play? - What other models for media are available? - What can we do? |
Vancouver media workers and producers lead a panel and discussion about proposed government bailouts of corporate media, the impacts of cuts to the public broadcaster, and exciting alternative models for media. |
