What about that practices, that is, cultural tendencies. When it comes to tourism in never-ending debate between tourism and travel, between the massified and the ‘authentic’ experiences. “If you are relation to China the first approach manifests a clear symptom: China asking me about authenticity, I do not believe that visiting, let’s say, the Forbidden City is not an authentic experience: is more and more at the centre of the global tourism sector, either it is Beijing, it is China, you cannot avoid it. But Beijing is also Sanlitun and Chaoyang, two very wealthy and modern as a tourism destination, or as the source of an increasing number areas. Authenticity, then, can be found both in the different perspective from which you look at the Forbidden City, of outbound tourists. as well as in the overall travel experience that derives from all these apparent paradoxes. Many tourists, mainly foreigners, Stefano Calzati think of China in terms of its imperial past; my goal is to s how them that besides this legacy, China is something else nowadays.” ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT UN report,1 “tourist arrivals blue sky is boundless/You lit a cigarette at dusk/Looking at I was curious about differences, if any, between the reached 1,138 million in 2014, a 4.7% increase over the previous the yellow earth under your feet, the yellow walls/The yellow Western and the Chinese (self)perception of the Middle year.

  • Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios' Natural History Unit
    Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit Media Masters – January 30, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Mike Gunton, creative director of the BBC’s Natural History Unit. Mike is responsible for bringing new and pioneering stories about the natural world to global audiences, including the BAFTA and Emmy-winning Planet Earth II, which was viewed by millions worldwide. In 2018, his groundbreaking animal behaviour series, Dynasties, also picked up a raft of awards and was recognised by Sir David Attenborough as inventing a new genre in natural history filmmaking. A fellow of the Royal Television Society, he also speaks internationally as an ambassador for natural history filmmaking, the BBC, and the natural world. Mike, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Nice to be here. How on earth did you get into all this lark then? Well, actually, I’d always wanted to be in television, but not necessarily in wildlife filmmaking. Although I must say, David Attenborough was a bit of an inspiration as a kid, seeing him on Life on Earth, I think it was. And now you’re his boss. Well, yes. If only! And actually, funnily enough, Clive James. It was quite poignant when I saw that he had passed away. Sadly missed, yes. I used to like reading his reviews in the paper, and him talking about television just got me interested in television as a teenager really.

  • Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary
    Ofcom – Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary 1. Education is a crucial part of the Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) requirements. Several of the statutory requirements set out in Section 264 of the Communications Act 2003 relate to educational objectives. There are opportunities to strengthen these requirements as part of the new Public Service Media (PSM) offer. 2. The Open University (OU) plays a key role in supporting the delivery of PSB requirements around education through its partnership with the BBC. The partnership co-produces high-quality factual content across several channels and platforms, which is developed in collaboration with academic experts and closely linked to related educational materials hosted by the OU. A key objective of the partnership is to encourage people to embark on learning journeys from the informal, factual content produced with the BBC, through online and printed educational resources which enhance and enrich their broadcast/digital experience, to taking up formal learning opportunites inspired by watching, listening to and engaging with the content produced as part of the partnership. 3. In 2019/20: • A total of 257 hours of content produced via the OU/BBC partnership was broadcast by the BBC. • This resulted in a combined total of 308 million viewing/listening “events” and digital engagement interactions. • The three most popular television programmes broadcast – A Perfect Planet, Springwatch and Hospital (Series 5) all saw viewing figures in excess of 22 million. • There were 765,000 unique visitors to the online educational content related to the OU/BBC partnership hosted on the OU’s free online learning platform, OpenLearn.

  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.
