When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was liberated in 1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote on which he’d written ‘Good luck and happiness’.

August 2013 ABSTRACT From the late 1970s on, as competition intensified, British broadcasters searched for new ways to cover the escalating budgets for top-end drama. A common industry practice, overseas co-productions seems the fitting answer for most broadcasters; for the BBC, however, creating programmes that appeal to both national and international markets could mean being in conflict with its public service ethos. Paradoxes will always be at the heart of an institution that, while pressured to be profitable, also carries a deep-rooted disapproval of commercialism.

  • Sir Simon Jenkins Journalist and Author
    Sir Simon Jenkins Journalist and Author Media Masters – February 11, 2016 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediafocus.org.uk 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 the editor and columnist Simon Jenkins. Simon might be the grandest of British journalism grandees. Knighted for services to the industry in 2004, he edited the London Evening Standard and the Times, covered politics for The Economist, and founded the Sunday Times book pages. Now known for his views on politics and culture as a columnist at the Guardian, he has also held public appointments at British Rail, English Heritage, and was a member of the Millennium Commission. Having recently ended his six-year term as chairman of the National Trust, he has written more than 15 books on topics as diverse as English churches, Thatcher, and of course, the media. Simon, thank you for joining me. Thank you! Did you always want to be a journalist? How did you get started? I think I wanted to be a politician – I know very few journalists who didn’t really want to be a politician somewhere deep down inside them. But I started journalism at university at Oxford, I have a totally conventional education story, doing PPE at Oxford – that’s philosophy, politics and economics – I worked on Cherwell, I left, went into academia, and was an academic for about two or three years, but I craved journalism. Went into journalism, I was quite political, I’d got involved in sort of left- wing Tory pressure groups and so on, but all the time I just thought, “Politics is boring compared to journalism,” and it was just… journalism sucked me in.
