Computer Weekly’s coverage of the Royal Mail Horizon software scandal shone a light on one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history, and inspired an ITV drama. Within a week of the show airing, more than a million people had signed a petition and the Government announced a new law.
Hosted by Radio Times’ Joint-Editor Tom Loxley, the discussion will be about the power of storytelling to galvanize the public and influence those in authority.
Attendees of this session will hear from some of the people behind the story:
- Jo Hamilton, the former postmistress wrongfully convicted.
- Bryan Glick, Editor-in-Chief, Computer Weekly.
- Natasha Bondy, Creative Director of Little Gem Media and the Creator and Executive Producer of the drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, as well as the accompanying documentary.
Being held at the Brewery, London on 23 April, the PPA Festival will see over 25 sessions across four stages. The flagship PPA conference aims to help specialist content providers devise new strategies and explore solutions for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Agenda themes will cover all areas of B2B and B2C publishing, including product strategy and development, content creation, audience growth and engagement, data, sales excellence, talent management, and leadership insights.
