Our terms of reference Below, we present the terms of reference as presented on the BBC Trust website on 18 February 2008 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/research/economic_impact/index.html) Study into the economic impact of the BBC on the UK 18 February 2008 Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman of the BBC Trust, announced in his Royal Television Society Fleming Memorial Lecture in November 2007 that the Trust was commissioning a wide­ranging study of the BBC’s economic value. The Trust has now agreed the terms of reference for the study. Summary terms of reference The main goals of the study into the economic impact of the BBC on the UK, to be conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, are to: • Identify the most important types of benefits and costs • Provide evidence on the scale of these benefits and costs, either in monetary terms, where relevant, or using other indicators where this is more meaningful The study will provide evidence of the scale of these benefits and costs both at the level of the UK as a whole, and for each of the four nations and the English regions (where relevant). The Trust will use the results of this study to help inform its judgements on future priorities and investment decisions. The study will focus on the BBC’s operations alongside other broadcasters and creative businesses in the UK. The project will examine the economic impacts of the BBC’s activities across all media, and in particular will consider new distribution channels (such as the internet) as well as the more traditional media of television and radio. The study will examine the role the BBC can play in relation to: • The supply chain, including upstream (such as independent producers) downstream (for example, distribution via third parties) or horizontally related (for example, if investment by the BBC in a particular area creates a cluster of similar businesses) • Training and talent • Risk­taking and innovation • The use of the BBC brand • Investment in content • Positive or negative effects (externalities) from promotion (for example, giving a new writer airtime) • Joint ventures 2 How the study will be conducted The Trust would expect the study to comprise: • A review of the existing academic and policy literature on the economic impact of the BBC and public service broadcasters more generally • Consultation with industry stakeholders, in particular other broadcasters and major players in the creative industry, to obtain views and evidence as to what are regarded as the most important economic effects of the BBC’s activities • Compilation of relevant data • Analysis of information and evidence provided by the BBC and others It is the Trust’s intention that the study will be published in early summer 2008. 3 2 Literature review 2.1 Introduction In this section we provide a summary of the key findings of our review of the literature relevant to this study. We selected the literature for review with the following objectives in mind: • To obtain a workable definition of the creative economy; • To highlight hypotheses to test and counterfactuals from previous academic and policy literature based upon the rationale for intervention in public service broadcasting, and the role of the BBC in particular; • To consider the implications of the findings of a selection of analogous economic impact studies for the methods used in our study; • To set the context for this study with respect to existing impact assessments of the BBC’s activities, which also inform the selection of counterfactual scenarios; and • To summarise best practice impact assessment methods to inform methods used in this study. The structure of this section follows these objectives. Much of the academic literature on public service broadcasting and the creative industry has focused on the rationale for intervention in the market, i.e. the economic (or political and social) justifications for public service broadcasting, rather than its economic impact. This literature review focuses on economic impacts to businesses in line with the terms of reference for this study. Therefore we have not included the wide ranging literature on social, political impacts or consumer impacts (including assessments 1 of consumers’ willingness to pay for the BBC ) of public service broadcasting. 2.2 The creative industries 2.2.1 Definition of the creative industries This study aims to identify and estimate economic impacts of the BBC on the creative industries or the creative economy. We understand from the Trust that the creative industries were selected as the basis for this study because the BBC’s economic impact is likely to be most important in these sectors. Whilst clearly the BBC has economic impacts across other sectors, focussing on the creative industries should capture the most important economic impacts of the BBC. To identify and estimate these impacts it is important to ascertain a workable definition of the creative industries. We describe some of the definitions used in the literature below. According to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), “The creative industries are those industries that are based on individual creativity, skill and talent. They are also those that have the potential to create wealth and jobs through 2 developing intellectual property” . 1 For instance: Work Foundation (2006), “Willingness to Pay for the BBC during the next Charter period – A report prepared for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport”; and BBC/Human Capital (2004), “Measuring the Value of the BBC”. 2 http://www.culture.gov.uk/what_we_do/Creative_industries/ 4 3 Specific sectors identified by DCMS (2001) as “creative industries” are: advertising, architecture, the art and antiques market, crafts, design, designer fashion, film and video, interactive leisure software, music, the performing arts, publishing, software and computer services, television and radio. However, the Centre for Urban and Regional Development at Newcastle University (CURDS) suggests that the creative industries may encompass a broader range of activities and industries than those defined by DCMS: “… It [the creative economy] has obvious overlaps with tourism and hospitality, and has specific overlaps in certain 4 business activities in knowledge intensive business services...” Richard Florida (2002) describes the creative economy in terms of the creative individuals within it, under the title of “creative class”: “The distinguishing characteristic of the creative class is that its members engage in work whose function 5 is to “create meaningful new forms.” Florida denotes three groups of workers who may perform some creative economic activity: • A “super­creative core” includes “scientists and engineers, university professors, poets and novelists, artists, entertainers, actors, designers, and architects, as well as the “thought leadership” of modern society: nonfiction writers, editors, cultural figures, think­tank researchers, analysts, and other opinion­makers.

  • Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation
    Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation. Lecture by Irwin Stelzer* The Beesley Lectures sponsored by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the Regulatory Policy Institute Institute of Directors, London, 23 September 2010. * Director of Economic Policy Studies, the Hudson Institute; columnist for The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal. I have in the past or am currently a consultant to several firms with interests in these issues. They include Google, News Corporation, News International, and Sky TV. 1 I approach this assignment with considerable trepidation. For one thing, I have been a consultant in years gone by both to News International and Sky, which might colour my views on some of these issues. I leave it to the audience to decide whether that is the case. For another, I did not anticipate that this lecture would occur on the heels of a rather acrimonious exchange of MacTaggart lectures between James Murdoch, who ran Sky before moving on to a larger stage, and Mark Thompson, the extraordinarily articulate and durable -- he has two MacTaggarts under his belt, a feat it took two generations of Murdochs to match -- advocate for the interests of BBC.1 Finally, I have been in and about Britain for enough years to know that there are two things an American should not do: attack the NHS, and criticise the BBC. Dare to do the former, and risk hearing tales of Americans bleeding to death on hospital steps for lack of a credit card or ready cash. Criticise the BBC, and prepare to be regaled with tales of the disgusting state of American television: one distinguished columnist swears that when he checked into an American hotel all he was able to find on television was pornography -- which should come as a shock to BBC advocates, since BBC is a leading importer of American programming.

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.
