thanks Julian - thanks also to Salvo for circulating Ofcom's Ed Richards' RTS speech on the Ofcom PSB Review . I wonder what members' thoughts on this speech are . ..
Colleagues will have noted the reminder call for papers for the Meccsa conference in Jan. As a result of suggestions from the POlicy network, the conference organisers have invited Andy Burnham, the sec of state, to give a Plenary address at the conference - however, this has yet to be confirmed, and it's possible he may not come. Might it be possible for one/some members of this Policy group to step in as 'understudy', should this be the case? Or would this not be feasible?
It was also suggested that there be a policy panel at the meccsa conference - has anyone had any further thoughts on this? If so, a proposal will need to be submitted soon. The PSB review seems an obvious candidate for discussion . .

Subject: [MECCSA-POLICY] Ofcom and News on ITV
Dear All,
I thought the following might be of interest. It was partly sparked off
by something which Steve B wrote in a Guardian blog, and partly because
ever since the publication of Ofcom's New News, Future News I've become
fascinated by how Ofcom uses its own research to reach policy
conclusions which seem to me to be the opposite of what the research
actually suggests!
