Mirrors or Movers is the world's premier conference dedicated to investigating, debating and challenging the impacts of media content on society and the environment. This year marks the tenth edition.
This year’s conference reflected on a decade of media’s role in society and looked ahead to the future. There’s plenty to say: it’s been a period of great change in which we’ve seen increasing urgency on both societal and environmental concerns, driving changes across subsectors, channels and formats. Whatever your view on media’s role in sustainability, it’s clear that content makers and publishers now need fluency on a range of environmental and social issues, which pushes media companies into new territories.
Attended by opinion formers, academics, NGOs and media professionals – including both sustainability professionals and content makers; media was represented in all its diversity – broadcast, publishing, entertainment, advertising, expos, events, and more.
