This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the Government's proposals for the future of the BBC, as set out in the Government's Green Paper ("A strong BBC, independent of government") published by the DCMS in March 2005 for consultation. The Committee's conclusions include i) that the BBC's mandate and structure should be defined in statute rather than by Royal Charter; ii) the licence fee is the best way to fund the BBC over the next decade, although the system for agreeing the cost of the fee should be more transparent, with the BBC bid subject to independent investigation by the NAO; iii) the Government, rather than the licence fee payer, should fund the costs of the analogue switch-off; and iv) the Government's proposals for reforming the governance and regulation of the BBC are confusing, misguided and unworkable. A further report is due to be published by the Committee in Spring 2005 which will focus on the role of the BBC in the nations and the regions, the BBC World Service and the broadcasting of sport and religion.

This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The BBC has a special status. It is established by Royal Charter, it is independent and its principal source of funding is a universal licence fee. We think that the current review of the BBC's Royal Charter, to which our report contributes, provides an opportunity to ensure that the BBC remains the keystone of British broadcasting, plays a central role in the wider creative industries in the United Kingdom and continues to be respected across the world. The 'Reithian Principles' - to inform, educate and entertain - should be reaffirmed as the mission statement of the BBC and, within the BBC itself, given greater prominence. As the starting point for a new accountability framework, the BBC should adopt Ofcom's four general Public Service Broadcasting purposes - informing our understanding of the world, stimulating knowledge and learning, reflecting UK cultural identity and representing diversity and alternative viewpoints. In recognition of its privileged status, we believe the BBC should set the gold standard amongst the broadcasters in fulfilling the public service broadcasting (PSB) purposes. It should be an exemplar of value-driven broadcasting. We also expect the BBC to make a particular commitment to reflecting the nations, regions and all the diverse communities of the UK. The BBC executive should establish a new set of values in the next Charter period that permeate through the BBC and are apparent in all the content it produces. This new framework should replace the current multiple layers of accountability which have emerged over the last decade. Purpose Remits and Purpose Priorities should be scrapped. Service licences should be retained, simplified, strengthened and leave no room for doubt about the contribution of each service to the BBC's overall mission and values. The service licences must also encourage creativity.

This book was released on 2006-03-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on a range of issues relating to the BBC Charter, including the current bid for the TV licence fee, the link to the retail price index, and the need for transparency in the licence fee negotiations; the costs of digital switchover and spectrum charging; the BBC World Service and the launch of an Arabic language television channel; the 'Out of London' strategy for more regional broadcasting and the proposal to move several BBC departments to Manchester; sports broadcasting and the regulation of listed events; religious programming and the BBC's public service remit. The Committee supports the continuation of the licence fee, although concerns are raised that the annual cost increases above the rate of inflation may threaten to undermine public support for the BBC in the long term. However, it opposes the link between the retail price index and the licence fee, since it gives the BBC less incentive to make economies and efficiency gains, and instead argues that Parliament, rather than Government, should set the level of the licence fee, with the National Audit Office having scope to scrutinise the licence fee bid and publish its findings. The Committee's first report on the BBC Charter (HCP 50-I, session 2005-06, ISBN 0104007508), published in November 2005, focused on the Government's proposals for the future of the BBC, as set out in the Government's Green Paper ("A strong BBC, independent of government" published by the DCMS in March 2005 for consultation).

Book Synopsis Public Broadcasting and European Law by : Irini Katsirea
Download or read book Public Broadcasting and European Law written by Irini Katsirea and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although EU Member States share a tradition of regulating public broadcasting for the public interest, such regulation has been in decline in recent years. It has been challenged by the emergence of commercial television sworn to the market logic, as well as by satellite services and the Internet. EU law and policy has, under pressure from powerful global forces, abetted that decline. The question thus arises: Do cultural values still matter in European national broadcasting? This important book examines the challenges posed to public service obligations by European Union media law and policy. An in-depth analysis of the extent to which six countries (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) regulate broadcasting for the public interest reveals a range of vulnerability to national political pressures or, alternatively, to the ideology of market sovereignty. The author examines the country of origin principle and the European quota rule of the Television without Frontiers Directive, revealing the influence of European law on the definition and enforcement of programme requirements, and shows how the case law of the European Court of Justice encourages deregulation at the national level without offering adequate safeguards at the supranational level in exchange. She asks the question whether the alleged 'European audiovisual model' actually persists--that is, whether broadcasting is still committed to protecting such values as cultural diversity, the safety of minors, the susceptibility of consumers to advertising, media pluralism, and the fight against racial and religious hatred. The book concludes with an evaluation of the impact of the EU state aid regime on the licence fee based financing of public broadcasting. Despite the increasing importance of the subject, its study in a comparative context has been heretofore underdeveloped. This book fully provides that context and more, and will be of great value and interest to all parties concerned with the key role of communications in the development of European integration.

Book Synopsis The governance and regulation of the BBC by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: Select Committee on Communications
Download or read book The governance and regulation of the BBC written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: Select Committee on Communications and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report into the governance and regulation of the BBC, the Communications Committee finds too many different processes for varying types of complaint, making it very difficult for viewers, listeners and users of BBC content to know where to go to complain. The BBC needs to provide a clear overview of how the complaints process works and publish this in one place on its website and there needs to be a clearing house to direct people through the complaints process. The confusion is in part because the BBC Trust and Ofcom have 'overlapping jurisdiction' in several areas of content regulation, with the exception of issues of impartiality and accuracy and commercial references, which the BBC Trust regulates. In particular, the Committee wants the BBC and Ofcom to consider granting Ofcom the right to regulate the BBC on matters of impartiality and accuracy. In addition, creativity must not be allowed to be stifled by an overly bureaucratic 'compliance culture'. Best practice for programme making needs to be established to ease concerns that it isn't always clear to viewers what is reality, reconstructed and constructed footage. Greater clarity is needed on the governance role of the Non-Executives on the on the BBC Executive Board, who should be recruited from a wider range of backgrounds than they are presently. Terms of access for the NAO to the BBC must be agreed, ensuring that the NAO does not comment on any matters of broadcast content or journalistic integrity.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report responds to the current crisis in public service broadcasting, particularly in the advertiser-funded television sector. This has been caused by three factors: (1) the move from analogue to digital broadcasting means that established forms of support are losing value; (2) viewers are increasingly taking advantage of technological developments that provide alternatives to conventional broadcasting, such as the internet and the many commercial channels; (3) the speed and severity of the current economic recession. The Committee believes that the commercially-funded public broadcasters - ITV, Channel Four, Five and BSkyB - should continue to provide an alternative to the BBC, which should not become an even more dominant provider of public service programming. Market forces will not resolve the crisis and intervention is justified to ensure sufficient public service provision that the market will nor provide free for the public. There is a need for financial clarity on the financial position of all the public service broadcasters, and Channel Four's position should be independently reviewed. A partnership between Channel 4 and BBC Worldwide, rather than a full merger, would be a quicker means of making extra resources available to Channel 4. The BBC's other partnership proposals are welcomed. An element of contestable funding should be introduced, such funding to come from: (a) the underspend on the digital switchover; (b) continuance of funding from the licence fee after 2012 when the switchover programme ends; (c) the use of at least part of analogue spectrum revenue after 2012. Ultimately, part of the licence fee could be used to support public service content provision outside the BBC.

Book excerpt: 'Tumber and Palmer have provided an invaluable review of how journalists covered and reported the Iraq war and its aftermath. Their exhaustive research has resulted in an impressive analysis that makes this book essential reading' - John Owen, Executive Producer of News Xchange and Visiting Professor of Journalism, City University 'This is a meticulously researched book that lays bare the way the war was reported. Decide for yourself whether the media 'embeds' - of whom I was one - were the world's eyes and ears inside the military, or merely the puppets of the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence in London' - Ben Brown, BBC 'Media at War offers insights into the ways in which media at war inevitably become participants in both the military and the political wars' - Professor Michael Gurevitch, University of Maryland International media coverage of the war in Iraq provoked public scrutiny as well debate amongst journalists themselves. Media at War offers a critical overview of the coverage in the context of other preceding wars, including the first Gulf War, and opens up the debate on the key questions that emerged during the crisis. For example, - What did we actually gain from 'live, on the spot' reporting? - Were journalists adequately trained and protected? - How compromised were the so-called 'embedded' journalists? Tumber and Palmer's analysis covers both the pre-war and post war phase, as well as public reaction to these events, and as such provides an invaluable framework for understanding how the media and news organisations operated during the Iraq Crisis.

This book was released on 2007-08-03 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chairman of the BBC is an important position but the recent appointment was not subject to parliamentary oversight and has neither been debated in Parliament nor considered by any Select Committee. As the new Royal Charter has also considerably altered the responsibilities of the job, the Committee carried out a short inquiry on the subject. The aim was twofold: to make sure that the selection process was protected from political interference and had the confidence of the licence fee payer; and to clarify how role had been affected by the new governance arrangements. They recommend that in future a selection panel of at least five members, of whom the majority should be non-political, should appoint the Chairman and that the appointments should be vetted by Parliament. The Committee also recommend that there should be greater clarity about the role of the Chairman. It should be clear whose job it is to represent the BBC itself and what it means to represent the licence fee payer and why "the Chairman of the BBC" is only an honorary title.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report on the BBC's Charter review focuses on four inter-related issues: i) the scope and remit of the BBC in the context of the growth of digital TV and on-going technological developments in audiovisual communications; ii) its funding mechanism; iii) its governance and regulation; and iv) whether a Charter provides the most appropriate means of establishing the Corporation in a rapidly-changing communications environment. Key aspects considered include the role, definition and scope of public service broadcasting, the growth of multichannel television, the on-going roll-out of broadband networks, and the Government's plans to switch off the analogue television signal. The report makes 38 conclusions and recommendations, including i) the BBC should be placed on a statutory basis by Act of Parliament at the earliest opportunity, with allowance for pre-legislative scrutiny by a joint Committee of both Houses; with a five year Charter to cover the interim period, between the date the current Charter expires at the end of 2006 and the passing of the recommended legislation; and ii) fundamental changes in the governance system of the BBC, with responsibility for corporate governance separated from maintenance and regulation of its independence.
