intro’d to David here:

What happens when the media’s priority is profit?

june 2013

In this thoughtful talk, David Puttnam asks a big question about the media: Does it have a moral imperative to create informed citizens, or is it free to pursue profit by any means, just like any other business? His solution for balancing profit and responsibility is bold … and you might not agree. (Filmed at TEDxHousesofParliament.)

After a much-awarded career as a film producer, Lord David Puttnam now works at

the intersection of education, media and policy.

reasonable duty of care

our first line of defense has to be our own standards – not those imposed on us…

is media’s role to inflame or inform..
