Polis organises some brilliant events - but please, can the next one not clash with other Meccsa events? ! Today, (Dec 13th) the Ofcom seminar - and the Polis event on plurality; 12th Jan - first day of the Meccsa conference in Salford. Obviously dates are constrained when it's the Secretary of State - but it's a shame to split the potential audience. good luck with it anyway best wishes Máire MD Máire Messenger Davies, PhD, FRSA Emerita Professor, Media Studies Centre for Media Research, School of Media, Film and Journalism University of Ulster Cromore Rd, Coleraine BT52 1SA Northern Ireland, UK Telephone: +44(0)2870124069. www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/media/cmr.html LATEST BOOK - 'Children, Media & Culture' http://www.openup.co.uk/children_media -----Original Message----- From: Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) on behalf of Sonia Livingstone Sent: Tue 12/14/2010 10:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport - at LSE - 12th January 2011.
