Additions Made to NATPE Speaker Lineup

LOS ANGELES: News Corp.’s Jonathan Miller and Ross Levinsohn of Yahoo! will kick off the opening morning keynote event at NATPE, which has also added sessions with Lionsgate’s Jon Feltheimer and Televisa’s Emilio Azcarraga.

Miller is the chief digital officer at News Corp. and is the chairman and CEO of the company’s digital media group. Levinsohn is the executive VP for the Americas at Yahoo!, responsible for ad sales, partnerships and media. The keynote conversation replaces an appearance by Phil Kent, the CEO of Turner Broadcasting System, who had to back out due to a personal matter.

The program on Tuesday now includes a conversation with Feltheimer, co-chairman and CEO of Lionsgate, and Azcarraga, the president and CEO of Televisa Internacional.

“We are excited to announce these new additions to this year’s market and conference, which add even more perspective and interest for the top people in the content business that come to NATPE each year,” said Rick Feldman, the president and CEO of NATPE. “There’s still time to come and take advantage of all that this fantastic event has to offer.”
