Here’s my slides from my presentation at BCU yesterday.

If you don’t have time to read them, then Kellie Maddox has produced an excellent summary of what I said, sprinkled with some of her own comments, thoughts and observations.

There’s also various comments on Twitter, under a variety of #hashtags, which – in effect – give the highlights. I’ve posted a quick snapshot below:

A big thank you to everyone who came, and for further circulation – and comment – on my slides via Twitter (examples below). Hopefully see you all at BCU in 2011!

I’m off to Birmingham today to give a presentation at Birmingham City University. This is my third visit in as many years. Today’s “guest lecture” is on hyper-local media and – having written the slides about a month ago before I went away on holiday – I’m quickly trying to remember what I want to say!

Dave Harte has helpfully promoted the event on his Posterous pages (although it’s rather full of hyperbole, still, if it gets bums on seats…)

It’s also had some promotion and pick up on Twitter where I am referred to as ‘Bloke from Ofcom’ – which made me laugh. I’m grateful to Paul Bradshaw for giving me a name (and citing my Twitter handle) so that I no longer need to do my best Clint Eastwood impression!

BCU, Ofcom, PSB

Slides from my 3 hour “Guest Lecture” at BCU (Birmingham City University) yesterday.

Broadly speaking, I did an hour and a bit on the state of the UK Communications Market and the evolution of Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) over the last five years or so, as well as running through some examples where we had upheld complaints against the Broadcasting Code.

All the data used in the presentation is already in the public domain, but was pulled together for this specific presentation.
