SESSION 2: Embracing Social Media: Impact on Television (with presentations)

Day 1 – Tuesday 24th May 2011, 1130 – 1230

With stiff competition and demanding audiences, broadcasters are using social media to generate content and create excitement that will attract and retain viewership. Twitter, Blippy, You Tube, Flickr, Blogs, MySpace and Facebook are changing how viewers are developing their own personal broadcast and getting engaged with media and the community. Are TV programmes, particularly in news and public affairs, adapting well to social media? What are some winning strategies to engage viewers who can now create their own content, read information and watch programmes on their own time? What are their implications?
