This week, Matt Wells is joined by the Guardian's director of digital content and jargon-buster-in-chief Emily Bell live(ish) at the Changing Media Summit 2009.
Along with numerous mentions of platforms, content, monetisation, and cutbacks, the word most used word at this conference was "partnerships". Apparently, we all need to stick together to see out the downturn. So, the BBC director general, Mark Thompson, tells us about the corporation's benevolent side, and Google's new head of UK operations, Matt Brittin, explains how his company will reach out a helping hand. Communications minister Lord Stephen Carter, meanwhile, voices his scepticism.
Injecting the feel-good factor into proceedings is the CEO of FreemantleMedia, Tony Cohen, who says that UK television is in pretty rude health, and that a system of micropayments could make that even, er, ruder. (Kara Swisher from AllThingsD.com isn't quite so sure.)
