4th Journal of Media Practice symposium: Media Practice and its field

University of Leeds, Friday 20 June 2008

Supported by MeCCSA Practice section

The JMP symposium is an annual event for all media practitioners teaching or researching in HE and FE. The theme this year was our context – how we interact with our field. This is about how we teach media practice, how researchers and educators relate to professional and conventional practice (and vice versa), and how our practice-based research relates to other research methods and activity.

A sub-theme emerged from presentations this year was how professional norms affect both practice in general and practice as it is researched and taught in HE. Papers on this subject were presented, among others, by documentary producer Paul Kerr (London Metropolitan), documentary producer Florence Ayisi (Newport), PhD student Anna Zoellner (Leeds) and radio producer Rozina Breen (Trinity and All Saints).
