Q&A with Jennifer Collins

In a piece that first appeared in Encore, ABC TV’s head of entertainment Jennifer Collins talks media.

Who is the most powerful person in Australian media and why?
I’ve got to say Peppa Pig. Week on week Peppa the pig manages to maintain its position as the number one program on ABC iView. There’s power in capturing those loyal audiences early.

What one medium could you not live without?
I have to confess to having an ‘app’ addiction – and some of them are actually useful.

Your one guilty media pleasure?
Daytime pleasure would be reading a good book on Bondi beach, evening pleasure watching back-to-back episodes of Game of Thrones.
