Can’t. Stop. Watching.

How to stop your audience from feeling used
The virtuous circle from Digitaldickinson on Vimeo.
I spent two days last month discussing the future of journalism at the University of Central Lancashire with a group with representatives of all corners of the UK media scene. Fascinating two days, not least for the wealth of disagreement (no bad thing).
