An Evening with Evan Shapiro

Many will know Evan Shapiro as the official, unofficial cartographer of the Media Universe since Deadline published his first Media Universe Map.

At the heart of every new headline-making programme, Dahmer to The Staircase, Jimmy Savile to Amanda Knox, is a victim and a family, to say nothing of the countless people whose involvement in these tragedies amounts to far more than entertainment. How should producers navigate sensitivity, while avoiding self-censorship?
