We have been working with the expertise of the “Magic Lantern” film production company who have been commissioned to make a short film of students’ views of their digital futures. The intended audience for the finished film are NESTA – a body of policy makers, senior broadcasters and educators. Our young innovators worked on ideas about what is needed from public service media –from TV and radio to on line, newspapers and government services and as well as larger commercial institutions. Facilitated by the production company, the students made a short film supporting their chosen ideas where they aimed to demonstrate their thoughts on reimagining public service media for the broadband age. It was a tremendous collaborative effort over two days, and will go some way to informing debate on the Digital Age white paper coming before parliament in the near future.
