MediaTel To Host Second Media Question Time Event

MediaTel will this evening host the second Media Question Time at the BBC Radio Theatre in London, following the successful launch of the event in May last year (see Newsline). In association with The Economist and Carlton Television, Media Question Time follows the format of the BBC television series, allowing an audience drawn from the world of media to put questions to key figures in the industry.

This year’s panel comprises Emily Bell, business editor for the Observer; Hugo Drayton, managing director of Hollinger Telegraph New Media; Richard Eyre, managing director of Pearson Television and former chief executive of the ITV Network; Mandy Pooler, chief executive of MindShare and Tom Toumazis, director of UK consumer advertising, EMAP Group Ad Sales. The panel is to be chaired by BBC Radio’s media correspondent, Torin Douglas.

Audio and news coverage of the event, which is invitation only, will be available on Newsline later in the week.
