CNBC's Dennis Kneale Moderates High-Level Panel of Media & Entertainment Executives

Dennis Kneale, media and technology editor of CNBC, moderated a high-powered roundtable with leading media and entertainment industry executives at this year's Milken Institute Global Conference. The event was held in Beverly Hills, CA.

Kneale's panel included Peter Chernin, president and chief operating officer, News Corporation; Robert Kotick, chairman and CEO, Activision Inc.; Terry Semel, former Chairman and CEO, Yahoo! Inc.; and Mark Thompson, director-general, British Broadcasting Company.

Kneale's style mixes humor and persistence.  He is willing to return repeatedly to the same executive with the same question if he feels the executive didn't answer fully or straightforwardly.  All of the executives appears to be very familiar with Kneale and clearly on a first-name, casual basis with the journalist.

A full audio of the panel, Media and Entertainment: Consequences of the Digital Revolution, can be heard on the Milken Institute web site.

Kneale, who joined CNBC in October 2007, has been a regular moderator at the Milken Institute annual conference for a number of years.  His sessions are always well-attended and lively.

    Journalism has to have the ability to be timely. Economics of traditional media model dictate this. Now, people who clearly do not work under standards of objectivity, but as a group, can help to inform all of our opinions. It's their pictures, their writing - it acts as a supplement to traditional media.

    The top Communist Party boss in the northeastern port city of Tianjin, Li Chuanqing, was also quoted as saying international media were "arousing unnecessary fears."Earlier this month, the Chinese Foreign Ministry warned the media against exaggerating China's food safety problems and stirring consumer panic.

    In addition, the Fed was virtually forced to loan large banks hundreds of billions of dollars to keep them afloat. The profits that the agency made are very modest compared to the risks it took. The $14 billion may seem like a lot of money, but, given the capital exposure involved, it really isn't.apprendre l anglais australie

    I think the media should keep its eyes down, away from the lives of the people who are extremely popular. Such excessive interference is not good in any way.
