Vanessa HillAttention Wars is a 6 x 8 minute documentary series that explores the notion that big tech companies are competing in a high stakes game for our attention. Examining the attention economy and the persuasive design of our devices and apps, we examine how technology affects our brain, behaviour and is shifting our cultural norms. All with the aim to empower people to have a healthier relationship with technology.

Science in the news: Life after the front page

As Communication Professionals, we dream about securing front page media coverage for our respective organisations. The reality is that getting great media coverage is the easy part. Sensitively and effectively managing the public interest following a high profile media story is much more challenging, especially when your talent is more at home in a laboratory than in front of a journalist. In this session, Carolyn MacDonald, Melea Tarabay and Emily Woodhams will share their experiences and advice for surviving ‘life after the front page’, including managing consumer expectations.
