Television and the Arts

From Grayson Perry to the Proms on the PSBs, to dedicated services such as Sky Arts and Marquee TV, the viewer has never had so much choice of arts on television.   

In this session we meet some of the key decision makers and ask how they decide what we see, how they commission, what the future holds and how you can pitch to them.

Join writer, broadcaster and art historian, Tim Marlow, in an exploration of the relationship between Television and the Arts.

Speakers:

Mark Bell, Commissioning Editor, BBC

TWO YEARS THAT SHOOK THE NEWS

Brexit, a global pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and the rise of fake news have ensured that news rooms across Scotland have never been busier, more in demand or challenged than these past two years.  

In this lively panel session, we’ll hear from those that run the newsrooms to those on the ground. All have been challenged over the past two years, all have delivered – and all are here to share their stories and answer your questions.
