How the Digital Revolution is Changing the Way we Discover, Create and Consume Media

Synopsis: Audio recording of a lecture given on 11/10/2007 by David Jennings as part of the RSA’s Thursday lecture series. In today’s world of blogs, social networks, recommender systems and infinite digital shelf space, the audience for entertainment is bombarded with choices. But in this era of the ‘celestial jukebox’ where almost every film, TV programme, music track or book is available online, how do consumers discover and judge what they might like and how do creators and media companies ensure their work gets discovered? Speakers include: David Jennings, director, DJ Alchemi Ltd and author of ‘Net, Blogs and Rock ‘n’ Roll: how digital discovery works and what it means for consumers, creators and culture’, Andrew Collins, author, journalist and broadcaster and Claire Czajkowska, singer and songwriter. Chaired by Paul Hitchman, founder and managing director, PlayLouder MSP
