esports and growing fan engagement. We also learn about the boom in university esports and how gaming is becoming more and more popular on campus, with big scholarships on offer and broadcasting opportunities ready for the picking. This month’s Genius Interview is a sit-down with NYU professor and author Adam Alter, who studies how screens affect human behaviour and wellbeing. He reminds us that technology is rarely neutral and that screen technologies can do more harm than good when they stop putting the user ’s wellbeing first. But the big story in this issue is that FEED will be going quarterly. Our monthly magazine will now be replaced with a quarterly mega- issue, our ’conference in a magazine.’ This new schedule will mean that FEED can start to offer better and more diverse content in other areas – including a host of online engagements and content collaborations with our partners. We’re thrilled to take you with us on the next chapter of the FEED story. Get ready for FEED 2.0!
