The uneasy but essential evolution of news
Empowered audiences now act as superusers, creating and sharing content to offer alternative information channels beyond mainstream media providers.
Project management in media
Media houses continually revise their output to ensure that they retain the existing audience and attract new listeners, viewers, and readers.
Setting up a media business
A media business is like a table with four legs - the target audience, the editorial proposition, values, and the market.
Creating a distinctive radio station sound
A radio station can only achieve impact if it has a unique and consistent sound and delivers content that the listeners can relate to.
The project management process
In this example, we were asked at short notice to help produce a televised debate between political candidates before a general election. We had three-and-half weeks to make it happen.
