Nicola Sinclair asks how cinemas can harness social media in a way that is secure, positive and authentic

Let’s face it, these are tough times for media. In the past year alone, News of the World imploded in…

As you may know, we have been working on a Green Paper through which to share our research, our findings and our predictions for the future.  

We thought it was about time we started publishing said paper, and give you the opportunity to read it, comment on it, add to it and share it in the social way that we celebrate here at SylC.  To make it more easily digestible, we will be serialising the report over the coming weeks and months.
