Description |
This was the 4th week of WFA's 1983 autumn film society programme entitled "Films as organisers." Guest speakers included Alan Fountain, Channel 4 commissioning editor for independent film, Greg Philo from Glasgow Media Group and a panel including Wowo Wauters, Theresa Wilkie (Chair) and Mohsin Zulfiqar from the Pakistani Workers' Association (PWA). In this final part, Greg Philo talks about the consensual views held by most journalists, and Alan Fountain talks about the huge disincentive posed for journalists in putting their heads above water. They talk about balanced and unbalanced views in the news and the need to continue being a nuisance to have any impact and effect. To conclude the event Morena Monerang recites some poetry from Soweto, South Africa and Ireland. |
