TV makers and media commentators are to debate the impact of Twitter on program making at next month’s Mumbrella360 conference.
Panellists for the #TVTwitter session are:
- Amanda Collinge, series producer of the ABC’s political debate program Q&A. The #qanda hashtag is regularly a top trending topic on Twitter during the show’s broadcast with tweets also displayed on screen.
- Steven Murphy, Communications manager, FremantleMedia Australia. The production company’s recent shows have included Masterchef, Australia’s Got Talent and the rapidly cancelled Ben Elton Live From Planet Earth which saw the comedian partly blame adverse comment on Twitter for negative sentiment around the show. He tweets as @StMurphy.
- Andrew Marlton, the cartoonist behind Crikey’s acclaimed First Dog on the Moon daily cartoon. He tweets as @firstdogonmoon

The event takes place at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney on June 7 and 8. Full details of the Mumbrella360 program and ticket bookings are available on the Mumbrella360 website.

Sounds like another lame attempt to paint Twitter users as anything more than vapid narcissists. News and current affairs shows have been circling the drain for a number of years now, and when a Twitter comment from some numpty is now seen as news feed, well you know that the lunatics are running the asylum. There is nothing to be gained by giving the idiots of Twitter a voice (or validity).
