I wanted to alert/remind you of some upcoming events that might be of interest.
Firstly on Monday there is a discussion at the LSE on the future of public service broadcasting – which might be of particular use for certain second year essays!! – details are below.
Secondly next Wednesday there are the Schork awards at Reuters in Canary Wharf. After the ceremony and reception there will be a discussion on the future of international reporting in the age of new media. The discussion at this event last year was very stimulating. Remember you need to RSVP, details below. This will also be of particular interest to anyone taking my module next semester on Communication and Humanitarianism.
Thirdly Vernon Bodganor who is one of the leading writers on British politics will give an open lecture on ‘The Coalition and the Constitution’ which is at 6pm on Wednesday 1st December on the Canterbury campus. This should be of interest to anyone who follows politics and those now studying or about to study (next semester) Public Affairs.

Department of Media and Communications public lecture
Television Beyond Frontiers: reflections on public service broadcasting in a digital Europe
Date: Monday 22 November 2010
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speakers: Professor Caroline Pauwels, Dr Damian Tambini
The cornerstone of European media policy, public service broadcasting has long been characterised by transitions, questioning and criticism. Now convergence, media cross-over, EU interference and new public service management theories affect its very chances of survival.
Caroline Pauwels is the head of the Institute for Broadband Technologies/Studies on Media, Information and Telecommunications at the Free University of Brussels (VUB) and was appointed media commissioner by the Flemish Government for the public service broadcaster VRT.
Damian Tambini is a senior lecturer in the Department of Media and Communications, LSE.
