On Wednesday the 28^th January CCPS will be delighted to host a talk from Peter Horrocks, former director of the BBC World Service and soon-to-be vice-chancellor of the Open University. Over a 30 year career with the Corporation, Peter has worked as a journalist, editor, producer and executive producer and in a range of senior management positions in TV, radio and on-line. He has edited Newsnight and Panorama and, following appointment as Head of Current Affairs in 2000 worked as executive producer on influential and ground-breaking documentaries including Brits, Dirty War and The Power of Nightmares. He will look back on his career in these various roles and reflect on the opportunities and challenges for a globally connected BBC. As a key figure in Britain’s media for the last three decades, he will offer some provocations for our students aiming to shape their careers in the contemporary and emerging media landscape.

The event will be hosted in G50 Millburn House at 5pm-6.30pm. We expect this event to be popular so please e-mail Paula Watkins to reserve a place on p.watkins@warwick.ac.uk
