Christa van Raalte has been invited to take part in an industry round-table: Improving Working Practices in Television. Aimed at television professionals the event promises a thought-provoking discussion about the way television is being produced. Thought leaders will review some of the harsh realities of production: long hours, immense pressure and a climate of fear that silences concerns. With valuable crew members feeling disrespected and underpaid, the resulting exodus threatens the very heart of television.
Christa’s participation in this event follows the recent publication of ‘Where have all the PMs gone? Addressing the Production Management Skills gap in UK TV’ https://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/39530/, which Christa first authored along with Richard Wallis, Rowan Aust and Dawid Pekalski.
