  • The Birth of Broadcasting (1961)
    This is the first part of a projected three- or four-volume history of broadcasting in the United Kingdom. The whole work is designed as an authoritative account of the rise of broadcasting in England up to the passing of the Independent Television Act in 1955 and the end of the BBC monopoly. Though naturally largely concerned with the BBC, it will be a general history of broadcasting, not simply an institutional history of the BBC, and will briefly sketch the back- ground of wireless developments in other parts of the world. The Birth of Broadcasting covers early amateur experiments in wire- less telephony in America and in England, the pioneer days at Writtle in Essex and elsewhere, and the com- ing of organized broadcasting and its rapid growth during the first four years of the BBC's existence as a private Company before it became a public Corporation in January 1927. Professor Briggs describes how and why the Company was formed, the scope of its activities, and the reasons which led to its conversion from a business enterprise into a national institution. The issues raised between 1923 and 1927 remain pertinent today. The hard bargaining between the Post Office, private wireless interests, and the emergent British Broadcasting Company is discussed in illuminating continued on bock flap $10.00 continued from front flap detail, together with the remarkable opposition with which the Company had to contend in its early days. Many sections of the opposition, including a powerful section of the press, seemed able to conceive of broadcasting only as competing with their own interests, never as comple- menting or enlarging them.

  • Guidelines to Making Programmes for BBC World Service
    Guidelines to Making Programmes for BBC World Service Titles and Descriptions It’s not just the programmes that need to have a sense of excitement and the ability to create curiosity in our audience and potential audience. Whatever we publish - titles, billings, online descriptions etc (known as ‘metadata’) - have an effect on how your programme performs on the web. Programme titles and descriptions should always be written in a way that encourages the most people to listen to it, makes the programme topic clear, and ensures visibility and findability across the web - in podcast provider spaces (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc.), search engine results (such as Google) and other tech, such as voice-activated systems (such as Alexa). We need to have titles and programme descriptions five weeks before the transmission date. This ensures that both Press and Publicity have time to adequately promote the programme, and that these descriptions are ready in time for our automated systems. It can be difficult to update programme descriptions at some of their publication sites if the information arrives too close to transmission. Titles Indicate immediately what the programme or podcast is about. • Use clear simple language – no puns. Show the value of your content • Be succinct - take out any unnecessary words (use 50 characters max) • Put the words that convey most about the story at the front (apps may cut off the end of the title) • Use search terms so people can discover your content Examples of Good Titles • The Death Row book club • In search of the quarter-life crisis • ADHD and me • Finding the viruses that destroy superbugs • How Christo wrapped the Reichstag 1 Programme Descriptions We need you to provide two descriptions for each programme you deliver.

  • COVID-19 Effects and Russian Disinformation Campaigns
    Homeland Security Affairs Journal SPECIAL COVID-19 ISSUE COVID-19 Effects and Russian Disinformation Campaigns By Wesley R. Moy and Kacper Gradon 2 COVID-19 Effects and Russian Disinformation Campaigns By Wesley R. Moy and Kacper Gradon Abstract The effects of the novel coronavirus and its related disease COVID-19 have been far reaching, touching American society and its Western partners’ health and mortality, economics, social relationships, and politics. The effects have highlighted longstanding societal divisions, disproportionately harming minority groups and the socioeconomically disadvantaged with Black Americans and their communities hit especially hard. The problem being considered is the potential for Russian malign foreign influence to exploit the divides exacerbated by the coronavirus and target the United States and its European allies during the period leading to the 2020 elections and beyond. Possible coronavirus effects are inventoried and categorized into economic, healthcare, and environmental issue areas that may be leveraged and weaponized. The article includes the scenarios of such weaponization, including the description of focal points that may be attacked. We conclude with a set of recommendations to counter malign foreign influence.
