Where to? What future for PSB and Society? by Elke Weissmann Last week, I was in the incredibly privileged position of attending a panel discussion on the future of the BBC in the House of Lords, brought together by the British Broadcasting Challenge…

What future for the #BBC and #PublicServiceBroadcasting? cstonline.net/where-to-wha...

Catching up with 'The War Between', it makes me wish there was way more British SF TV like this being made at the moment (esp with a political thriller/critical engagement vibe); it feels like a kind of adult-oriented TV drama that's rarely invested in & supported by the current UK TV industry

Don’t think so, but I’m hoping to write it up for publication & can let you know about that. The audience was a mix of magazine studies’ academics and Who fans, and now I’m off to see the Gutenberg printing press at the Gutenberg Museum; Mainz is a great place for DWM to be analysed and discussed :)

Looking forward to presenting this new work later today, on the current era of Doctor Who Magazine and what I'm terming its "upbeat individualised inclusivity". I'll be discussing how today's DWM challenges fan gatekeeping but also resonates with consumerist "brandom"

wonder if decades of mocking media studies as a Mickey Mouse subject has anything to do with this at all

MPs are 'trapped on benefits', many claiming £50,000 a year or more in untaxed personal benefits.

Surely we need to get them off them for their own good?

Atmosphere, analysis, ambiguity. Re-reading 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' recently it felt like a startling hybrid, almost a kind of "mythic procedural."
