Government needs to recognise that the market is failing in journalism, and the #CairncrossReview pointed out the need for in/direct support for local journalism; but they need to reward the innovators and not be propping up the old models – @AdamC_Corn of @TheBristolCable #BBCPM.

Computer and full-motion video games aren't new, but seamless branching video can now be accessed at home. It’s never going to replace traditional story-telling, and I'm still writing linear narratives – @charltonbrooker on #Bandersnatch on #R4FrontRow

Granada Television was the most innovative TV company in the '60s. There was a cultural revolution in the northern cities and move from London. TV and newspapers were vigorous and exploratory; newspapers don’t exist now – Michael Parkinson #R4SaturdayLive

Publishing isn’t the mighty cash cow it once was and, thus, it’s a hugely creative and innovative time says Jeremy Leslie @magCulture to @ClerkenwellPost. The tactile nature of magazines, the way they attack in a multi-sensory way is unobtainable online

Great tribute to Tom Wolfe on #r4today by Jay McInerney (cc @jameswoudhuysen @andrewcalcutt @Future_Cities)
It was like sound effects, onomatopoeia. Unlike Thompson he wasn’t a Gonzo journalist; he watched from the sidelines but was able to translate the crazy energy. His writing was a throwback to C19 social novels, holding a mirror up to society – @JayMcInerney on Tom Wolfe #r4today.
