BANFF – Some of the country’s most notable media leaders will share their perspectives on the key issues facing the Canadian media industry at next month’s Banff World Media Festival.
Shaw Media president Paul Robertson, Bell Media president Kevin Crull, Rogers Media president Keith Pelley, and CBC Executive vice-president Kirstine Stewart will participate in a panel discussion on topics such as the impact of further consolidation and vertical integration within the media industry, as well as how the Canadian content industry can become more globally relevant.
Delegates at the event will have the opportunity to submit questions via Twitter (@BanffMedia) or on the Banff World Media Festival Facebook page. Selected questions will be posed to the executives during the panel.
"This is a unique opportunity for Banff delegates to hear Canada's top decision makers in conversation about the issues that matter most in media today," said Ferne Cohen, executive director of the Festival. "We are both honoured and elated to welcome these esteemed leaders of our industry to share their insight at Banff."
