Assailed by the internet and cable, blunted by the lowest common denominator, television has blended truth, scandal and daily information into a ‘re-enactment’ of life that reinforces popular prejudice in the face of common sense. Yet it still has the power to cut through, inform and inspire. Where is it going? What’s driving our devotion to it? Ian David shows why the digital age must force the networks to change their values, recognise the damage they have done and grasp the opportunities offered by the reconstructed global marketplace of the GFC. Ian David is an award winning screenwriter. His groundbreaking documentary dramas Police State and Police Crop won AFI Awards, Joh's Jury, won the AWGIE Award, Blue Murder received the Logie Award, AWGIE Award and AFI Award for Best Screenplay. He has also written the comedy series, Bad, Cop, Bad Cop and the adaptation of the Robert Drewe memoir, The Shark Net. His latest work 3 acts of murder, a 95 minute telemovie based on a true story about Arthur Upfield, will be screened on ABC 1 on Sunday June 14.
