Matthew Syed asks what it means to be distracted in a media world vying for our attention.In this episode Matthew traces the inexorable rise of shortform video and investigates its success. He asks what the increasing popularity of this type of media might mean for our attention and finds out about the people using for purposes that may have surprised Neil Postman.Apps such as Tik Tok, Youtube and Snapchat are ubiquitous and for many have become the chief way that they consume media. What does watching shorter videos mean for the content, and how do these apps change our habits and possibly, our brains? The popularity of this medium has driven traditional institutions that are concerned with public affairs to embrace shortform video. So what's the result? Matthew finds out.Contributors:Dr Zoetanya Sujon, University of the Arts London Dave Jorgenson, Senior Video Journalist, Washington Post.

Eric Welcomes Super Star Wars fan Andrew from the Rare Cuts Media Society to talk all about George Lucas and Disney…but not necessarily Star Wars. George Lucas has been a force in filmmaking technology in the movies he made and the Companies he started, Like Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). But he also did a lot for the Disney Company and that was all before he sold his LucasFilm to Disney. In this episode, the conversation focuses more on Indiana Jones Disney Parks Attractions, Pixar Animation technology, Michael Jackson using the Force as Captain EO, and a strange little movie called Strange Magic! Oh, yeah….we do talk about Star Wars too. Andrew appeared once before on the first episode of Synergy Loves Company: Aerosmith and Disney!

Andrew and Ryan discuss the dangers of social media.

I can thank Jess and Nat from Mac + Moore (who I spoke to in episode 2 last week!) for introducing me to today's guest a few months back. On an evening in January (which feels like forever ago right now, doesn't it?!), they arranged a dinner with friends and fellow Founders to meet and connect and over the course of G&Ts and oh so scrummy dinner at Caravan in Kings Cross, I got to know the vivacious and ever-inspiring Dr Joanna Abeyie, MBE.As the Non-Executive Director for Investors in People, a Trustee for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal, the first and only black person to be made a Trustee and Director of The Media Society, not to mention the Founder and CEO of Blue Moon - the executive search and diversity and inclusion consultancy based in London - it's safe to say that Jo is one incredibly busy lady; masterfully skilled in juggling numerous public engagements, board meetings, teams and various projects on a daily basis. As the name suggests, with over 12 years' experience championing diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace behind her, the award-winning business owner has recently been appointed an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list too.No biggie eh..!?With that in mind therefore, I caught up with her on Friday afternoon last week (over Zoom of course) to find out what impact the coronavirus has had on her day-to-day life, business and mindset so far as well as her all-important advice for each and every one of us going forward...She can.

Die noch junge Queer Media Society ist ein ehrenamtlich organisiertes, bundesweites Netzwerk queerer Medienschaffender. Es setzt sich gegen Diskriminierung von Lesben, Schwulen & Bisexuellen sowie trans & inter* Menschen in den Medien ein. Dabei integriert es die unterschiedlichen Bereiche der Medienlandschaft, so die Bereiche Theater, Film und Fernsehen, Games, Journalismus, Literatur, Musik und Werbung. Eines der Ziele ist für die verstärkte LSBTTIQ*-Sichtbarkeit und -Repräsentanz in den Medien zu sorgen.

Schwule und Lesben in Film, Fernsehen und Medien sollten eine Selbstverständlichkeit sein. Doch die Realität sieht anders aus: Noch immer gibt es Diskriminierungen und Vorbehalte gegenüber queeren Menschen, in allen Bereichen: Vor und hinter der Kamera, auf der Bühne, am Mikrofon, in der Werbung oder in Verlagen. Die "Queer Media Society" will das ändern: Das "Netzwerk nicht-heteronormativer Medienschaffender"hat sich in diesem Jahr gegründet, um queere Menschen in der Medienwirtschaft zu vernetzen. Zu Gast in dieser Folge von "Queer as Berlin": Susann Reck und Kai Pieck, die Gründer der "Queer Media Society". See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Benjamin Law is an author, freelance journalist, columnist and screenwriter. Since I first ventured into full-time freelance journalism in 2009, he's been someone that I've greatly admired, not only for his ability to write well across a range of publications and styles, but also for the simple fact that he's a generous and enthusiastic supporter of other writers. I first met him in early 2010, when I emailed him to introduce myself and ask for a meeting, and from that point, he has remained as a firm friend and mentor. I interviewed him for The Courier-Mail that same year, for an article that coincided with the release of his first book, The Family Law, a memoir which described his upbringing as a Chinese-Australian. The following year, he spoke about freelance journalism alongside John Birmingham at an event I hosted in Brisbane as part of National Young Writers' Month. I reviewed his excellent second book, Gaysia, for The Weekend Australian in 2012, and since then, he has taken me suit shopping, offered me a place to crash while visiting Sydney, and provided some timely advice when I was negotiating my first book contract. As you've no doubt already gathered, I'm a big fan of Benjamin's. His career has recently taken an interesting turn into screenwriting, as his first book was turned into a six-part SBS television series. The Family Law debuted on Australian screens in early 2016; it was very well-received, and Benjamin is currently writing the second season. His regular writing gig is his weekly column in Good Weekend, which never fails to make me laugh. When he visited Brisbane in late April for a QUT Journalism and Media Society event, where we were both speaking to university students about feature writing, I took the opportunity to interview Benjamin in an empty classroom before the crowds arrived. Our conversation touches on how a mentorship with Matthew Condon helped him to pitch stories and get his head around writing longform features; how he was approached by a publisher to write The Family Law; what he learned about the book industry while working at Brisbane bookstore Avid Reader; how he comes up with ideas for his Good Weekend column, and how he views being in a relationship where both partners work in the creative industries. Benjamin Law is a Sydney-based TV screenwriter, journalist and newspaper columnist, who has PhD in creative writing and cultural studies. He’s the author of two books—The Family Law (2010) and Gaysia: Adventures in the Queer East (2012)—and the co-author of the comedy book Shit Asian Mothers Say (2014) with his sister Michelle and illustrator Oslo Davis. Both of his books have been nominated for Australian Book Industry Awards. The Family Law is now in its fourth reprint, has been translated into French and is now a major SBS TV series. Gaysia was published in India in 2013 and North America in 2014. Benjamin is a frequent contributor to Good Weekend (The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age), frankie and The Monthly. He has also written for over 50 publications, businesses and agencies in Australia and worldwide.

A report from BARB (The Broadcasters Audience Research Board) estimates that Netflix is now in some 5 million UK households, stating that: 'Netflix is by some margin the market leader' among subscription video on demand services. But can its subscriber base keep pace with its ambition to become 'a global Internet TV network'? To discuss, Steve is joined by media analyst Mathew Horsman, from Mediatique. Channel Five is weeks into its first rebrand in five years, aiming to attract younger and more affluent audiences. Its head of programmes Ben Frow has been reportedly handed a 'double digit increase' in his programming budget to change perceptions about the channel. So, what commissioning decisions is he taking to make this happen? He speaks to Steve Hewlett about his ambitions. A Media Society debate tonight will ask, 'is this the end of print?' The Independent's spin-off, the i, is continuing in print form under new ownership; Trinity Mirror has recently launched a new national daily, The New Day, and the free distributed Metro and London Evening Standard are turning a profit. So is it too soon to write off the traditional newspaper? Steve Hewlett asks journalist and Professor of Journalism at City University Roy Greenslade, Independent Digital Editor Christian Broughton and Sarah Baxter, deputy editor of the Sunday Times. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

This wouldn't happen in any other medium: an elderly Auschwitz survivor called LBC radio to tell the presenter, Nick Ferrari, about her experiences in the camp as a child. She then told Ferrari she hadn't even been able to talk about Auschwitz to some members of her own family. Ferrari told the story on a Media Society panel about radio. Along with presenters Paul Gambaccini (above) and Sue MacGregor, the panel was chaired by the radio critic Gillian Reynolds. They enthused about the unique intimacy of radio, its flexibility as a medium, and its ability to present both human emotion and intellectual argument more vividly than television, print or online media. Two BBC executives on the panel, Mary Hockaday and Jonathan Wall, encouraged people wanting to get into radio to stick to their ambitions and make use of the new online opportunities in audio, such as podcasting, to learn their skills and build an audience. Hockaday also advised applicants to listen to a lot of radio. For Gambaccini, the key to getting on in presenting is “self-knowledge” – the ability to understand where you'll fit in.

Hayley Hayes is at The Media Society's 'We Need To Talk About Radio' event, chatting to: Gillian Reynolds (Radio critic, Daily Telegraph); Geraldine Sharpe-Newton (President, The Media Society); Paul Gambaccini (Presenter, Radio 2); Jonathan Wall (Controller, BBC Radio 5 live); Nick Ferrari (Presenter, LBC), Sue MacGregor (Presenter, ex Radio 4), Mary Hockaday (Controller, BBC World Service English) and Emma Barnett (Presenter, Radio 4/5 live).

In Media, Society, World: Social Theory and Digital Media Practice (Polity Press, 2012), Nick Couldry provides a sweeping synthesis of his important media theory over the last decade. Couldry reassesses his work on media rituals, media power, and the “hidden injuries” of representation in light of cross-cultural diversity as well as the sudden eruption of social media. The book argues convincingly that these theories remain relevant to a social media age, in a rich, chapter-by-chapter engagement with contemporary social theory. Couldry makes a cogent case for a “practice approach” to media studies that treats a wide range of social activity–and not just production or consumption–as media-related and worthy of study. The book is concerned with big themes–social order, justice and power–but also furnishes a toolkit of mid-range theories that deserve to be applied, and wrestled with, in empirical research. Media, Society, World provides a nuanced verdict on the prospects of digital democracy, advances a de-territorialized notion of “media cultures,” and furnishes a theory of media power through a highly original rethinking of Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory. The concluding chapter asks readers to engage with a literature–and a set of questions–that media scholars rarely address: media justice in the context of moral and political philosophy. The book is a major statement from the leading media theorist working today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
