Twenty-First Century TV: Television in the Digital Era
Postgraduate Conference
12 May 2015
The University of Northampton

This one day conference aims to bring together postgraduate students working on all aspects of television in the digital, or post-digital, age. Television today can be online, on demand, downloaded, streamed, live, timeshifted, watched on multiple screens across multiple platforms. Producing and consuming television might involve games, apps, extended narratives, social media and a range of ancillary products. Have recent changes in technology radically transformed TV, or do traditional means of making and watching TV still persist?

*         Overflow and paratexts

*         Online content

*         Social media

*         Regional and local TV

*         International TV

*         Branding

*         Authorship, collaboration

*         Marketing

*         Advertising

*         Platforms and delivery

*         Multi screening

*         Time shifting and recording

*         Archiving

*         HD, 3D

*         CGI, special effects
