Deep Visuals' sKTP Project Highlighted in Anglia Ruskin University January 2012 Bulletin
-
22nd November 2011, Lord Ashcroft Building, Anglia Ruskin University
The digital revolution of the past decade has created unprecedented new opportunities for the creation and dissemination
of all types of media content: music, film, writing, books, and archived materials. Traditional content ‘owners’ and
providers must compete with agile new entrants who pose new challenges to current business models, some of whom
question the very notion of cash for content.
Monetizing Content in a Digital Age addressed this topic from a variety of industry perspectives and
provided fresh insight into this complex and sometimes controversial area. Following the presentations
there followed a lively Q & A session with all of the speakers who were:
•Graham Taylor, Director of Educational, Academic and Professional Publishing at the Publishers Association
•Chris Thompson, Senior Advisor for Enterprise and Innovation at Ravensbourne and Consultant for Media and Technology Sectors for Greenwich Council.
•Heather Lane, Scott Polar Museum and Alan Payne, Director of Deep Visuals
•Sobia Hamid, Founder of Data Giving
