Edinburgh TV Fest - The Alternative MacTaggart - Professor Brian Cox

The Power and Purpose of Television in a Fractured Media World. Professor Brian Cox reflects on the impact of his recent television series and its relationship with British science. From university admissions, to rationalism, from blue sky research to research funding, Cox explores the powerful influence that television can have in changing the political and public landscape. As the media landscape fractures will the power of linear television sustain? How important is the new media in the resurgence of the rationalist agenda? And what is needed to guarantee that this critical public service can continue to thrive into the next decade?
