David Puttnam: What happens when the media’s priority is profit?

Posted by

In this thoughtful talk, David Puttnam asks a big question about the media: Does it have a moral imperative to create informed citizens, or is it free to pursue profit by any means, just like any other business? His solution for balancing profit and responsibility is bold … and you might not agree. (Filmed at TEDxHousesofParliament.)

Return to the dangerous streets of Whitechapel and catch-up on Season 1 before RIPPER STREET returns for a new season *** Sat FEB 22 at 9/8c *** Only on BBC AMERICA

MATTHEW MACFADYEN (Inspector Edmund Reid), JEROME FLYNN (Sergeant Bennett Drake) and ADAM ROTHENBERG (Captain Homer Jackson) are back for Season 2 of the critically-acclaimed drama RIPPER STREET.

As the century enters its final decade in 1890, the streets teeter on the brink of moral collapse, and nowhere is the declining British Empire’s problems felt more keenly than in its dark heart: the East End of London.

H Division — the precinct charged with keeping order — must work diligently to police the toughest district in London.

New characters join our trio this season including Daniel Judge (DAVID COSTABILE, Lincoln), as Jackson’s troubled brother; Detective Constable Albert Flight (DAMIEN MOLONY, Being Human), who joins Reid and Drake in H Division; and Inspector Jedidiah Shine (JOSEPH MAWLE, Game of Thrones), Reid’s corrupt rival in K Division.
