A key output of the seminar will be a transcript of the proceedings, sent
out within a week of the event to all attendees and a wider group of
Ministers and officials at Ofcom, the Department for Culture, Media and
Sport and other agencies affected by the issues; and Parliamentarians with a
special interest in these areas. It will also be made available more widely.
This document will include transcripts of all speeches and questions and
answers sessions from the day, along with access to PowerPoint
presentations, speakers’ biographies, an attendee list, an agenda and
sponsor information. It is made available subject to strict restrictions on
public use, similar to those for Select Committee Uncorrected Evidence, and
is intended to provide timely information for interested parties who are
unable to attend on the day.

All delegates will receive free PDF copies and are invited to contribute to
the content.

The Westminster Media Forum is strictly impartial and cross-party, and draws
on the considerable support it receives from within Parliament and
government, and amongst the wider stakeholder community. The Forum has no
policy agenda of its own. Forum events are frequently the platform for major
policy statements from senior Ministers, regulators and other officials,
opposition speakers and senior opinion-formers in industry and interest
groups. Events regularly receive prominent coverage in the national and
trade press.
