“Culture and Commerce in the Digital Age: A Conversation with Canada’s Leading Women”

SexMoneyMedia 2010: Keynote Panel
A rare dialogue with some of Canada’s leading women in media as they discuss their careers, and the challenge of balancing the forces of the market with our desire for art and public culture as Canada develops its digital economic strategy. Access to our stories, screens and markets lies at the heart of our national interest in public media policy. In this time of unprecedented change, how can the Canadian public media institutions support innovation and economic success in the cultural industries while still protecting a media that is equitable, diverse, and accessible to all Canadians?
