David Fisher
DAVID FISHER has been Editor of Screen Digest since 1974, having joined the company two years earlier, soon after its foundation.
He was responsible for establishing many of the functions that have grown to world-leading status, most notably the statistical data collection of the worldwide video industry that was developed in the late 1970s, similarly monitoring cable and satellite in the early 1980s.
He was a co-opted member of the Interim Action Committee on the Future of the British Film Industry and its successor, the British Screen Advisory Council. He once caused a cinema-related bill to be withdrawn from parliament for redrafting (and was subsequently thanked in both houses).
Among other editorial activities, he was executive editor of Television, the Journal of the Royal Television Society for four years and has contributed to numerous journals, newspapers and conferences.
An award-winning film school graduate, he is an associate fellow of the University of Warwick, where he taught for several years. He was the first recipient of the President's Award of the BKSTS..
