Kevin Spacey - The MacTaggart Lecture
Did people see news reports about Kevin Spacey's MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh Festival? Anyone prompted to new ideas or rethinking old ones? The full text is here.
I've read and re-read it mulling over possible implications. And not only for the arts - especially theatre, film, radio and TV. It seems to have ideas and pointers for the whole range of news, opinion, documentaries, and other "content" now beginning to grow and blossom in different media online.

I just hope this speech is received by the gatekeepers of old media with the same enthusiasm with which it is given. The outdated distribution models, meaningless format categorisation, and corporate conservatism is literally holding culture back.
But then that's true of much of our society that actually thinks bleating about tradition is anything other than a shameful fear of change.
