On: Tuesday 6 June 2023 from 2.30pm – 3.30pm

At: Central London location (EC2A) AND via Video Conference

For: British Screen Forum Members and Associate Members only

We are delighted to announce an Exclusive Access Policy Roundtable where Members will have the opportunity to discuss the draft Media Bill with Robert Specterman-Green (Director, Media & Creative Industries, DCMS) and Victoria MacCallum (Deputy Director for Broadcasting Policy, DCMS).

The Government describes the bill as:

The Media Bill will reform decades-old laws to turbocharge the growth potential of our world-leading public service broadcasters (PSBs), which develop talent and skills, drive growth in the creative industries across the UK and deliver distinctive, diverse British content. The Bill will mean audiences can more easily access and enjoy high quality, British originated content and allow that content to project British values globally.

The Bill will deliver on a number of legislative commitments made in the government’s recent broadcasting white paper, Up Next; the Government’s vision for the broadcasting sector.

A copy of the draft Media Bill, alongside an Explanatory Memorandum, can be found here.
