It was amazing - and necessary - to feel connected by a shared sense of injustice about today's digital media landscape. I feel hopeful for how these events can galvanise our responsible intentions - and like Nick C said - create solidarity in the face of widespread political, social and commercial adversity. I'm excited to see what excellent work everyone creates next and the fruitful collaborations that will emerge out of 50 Years of Media at Westminster!
