Episode Description
Writers, journalists and TV-film producers usually choose their professions with an idealistic vision of impacting the world in a positive way. But when they enter the 'real world' of big media business, they often find the constraints of advertisers can influence and compromise their work. On today's show, UK filmmaker Leon Stuparich and journalist and editor, Cindy Symons, will share their insights and experiences in the film, television and print media world. We'll look at how the influence of marketers can often reshape and 'dumb down' the content we sell, and at the ultimate impact this has upon both the industry and the consumer. Leon Stuparich will be elaborating upon this topic at the 7 Graces Global Conference June 22 through 24, in London and online via worldwide live stream.
