CPBF/Public Voice seminar on media ownership

events | The CPBF/Public Voice seminar on media ownership will take place from 4.30pm-8pm on Wednesday 5 December in Rooms1 & 2, UNISON, 1 Mabledon Place,

London WC1H 9AJ. Underground: Kings Cross/Euston.

An outline programme and a copy of the DCMS/DTI consultation document on media ownership - intended to firm up proposals in the forthcoming communications bill - will be sent to participants beforehand (if available). We are currently awaiting word from the DCMS press office as to when the consultation document will be published. And we are inviting resource people whose expertise is in this field to form a panel for the seminar. The seminar will be the first of a series of ‘teach-ins' for CPBF and PV members and contacts on aspects of the forthcoming communications legislation. The seminars are intended to help us to update and refine our policies and to provide the basis for a submission to the DCMS/DTI during the two-month consultation period on media ownership. CPBF and PV together with other interested bodies also hope to produce an ‘alternative communications bill' as a propaganda tool before the government's draft bill is published in the spring of 2002 and our work in the seminars will contribute to that project. If you have suggestions for ground to be covered in the seminar and/or would like to make a presentation or contribute a paper, we would like to hear from you as soon as possible. To help us with planning this event could you PLEASE CONFIRM BY FRIDAY 30 NOVEMBER IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTEND. Kathy Lowe Co-ordinator, Communications Bill Campaign Tel. 020 8521 5932
