2014 Winter Lecture Series - That's Entertainment: What Does the Future of Viewing Look Like?
20 Aug 2014 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Many of us grew up when the 6pm news was our main intake of news for the day. Now people get information anywhere, anytime, and in any format. This, combined with the rise of celebrity culture, has completely changed the entertainment landscape. Join University alumnus and TV presenter Jesse Mulligan as he hosts a panel of entertainment experts: University of Waikato Screen and Media department's Associate Professor Geoff Lealand, whose research focuses on the future of film-viewing and film-going; New Zealand author Julie Thomas, who successfully self-published her first book online; and senior producer Megan Whelan from The Wireless, a youth-oriented news website quickly gaining a large online following.
