  • BBC Estreia Novo Canal De TV No Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo
    BBC estreia novo canal de TV no Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide: país é a prioridade em 2012 A BBC vai lançar um novo canal no Brasil. Trata-se do BBC HD, que terá em sua programação séries, documentários, música e outros tipos de conteúdo em alta definição produzidos pela rede britânica. Entre os títulos estão o seriado "Sherlock Holmes", o reality show "Dancing With the Stars" e o programa automobilístico "Top Gear". Será o segundo canal da companhia no país, ao lado do BBC World News. A diferença, diz Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide Channels, responsável pelos canais da rede fora do Reino Unido, é que a grade de programação do BBC HD será feita sob medida para o mercado brasileiro, com legendas em português. Alguns programas serão dublados. "Temos muitas produções novas e antigas, que ainda não foram exibidas no Brasil em alta definição. E com o crescimento da TV paga no país, acreditamos que este é o momento apropriado para investir", diz a executiva ao Valor. A operação brasileira será comandada a partir de um escritório em São Paulo. Jana não revela quanto será investido no país, mas afirma que o Brasil é a prioridade da companhia em 2012. Mesmo com o mercado de alta definição engatinhando no país, Jana diz que é importante chegar ao país com a tecnologia, ao invés de estrear um canal com resolução mais baixa. "Somos grandes produtores em HD. E o mercado brasileiro está crescendo muito nesse segmento. Por isso podemos queimar uma etapa", diz a executiva.

Good Character: Reality Television Production as Dirty Work Abstract Audiences, critics, and academics have raised significant moral concerns about reality television. The genre is commonly criticized for being exploitative, harmful, and fake. By extension, reality TV workers are morally tainted, seen as dirty workers of questionable character. This dissertation describes the sources of moral taint in reality television production and how production workers dispel this taint—making their work acceptable and even glorious to themselves and others—through everyday micro-level interaction. The data for this study comes from approximately 2 years of ethnographic observation at 2 reality TV production companies, attendance at 2 reality TV industry conferences, and interviews with 83 respondents, including reality TV production workers, television network executives, and people who auditioned to be on reality shows. Findings focus on the development process, during which production companies generate ideas for new television shows and pitch those ideas to television networks. First, I describe the development process and three significant moral dilemmas that workers face at this initial stage of production: creating negative representations (e.g.

Q500 Chairman: Good morning. I am sorry you are quite a long way away, as always in this room, but welcome. I think you know what we are doing, so I will not go through a long explanation of that. Basically what we are trying to look at is film and television and seeing really what contribution they make to UK plc, both in terms of the economy and also in terms of culture and other aspects as well. Let me start on BBC Films, if I may. It may come as a bit of a surprise, I think, to some people that there is an organisation called BBC Films. Tell me what the remit of it actually is. Ms Bennett: My name is Jana Bennett and I am Director of BBC Vision, which includes our televisions channels and BBC in-house production but also BBC Films is within BBC Vision. I am also with my colleague, Peter Salmon, who is the Head of in-house production, that is Vision productions, as Chief Creative Officer and is about to be taking up post as Director of BBC North, which I think is relevant to the discussion about the industry and particularly our role in it, and George Entwistle, who is the Controller of all of our factual commissioning across television and online and BBC Knowledge Commissioner.

  • Beyond the M25: a BBC for All of the UK
    Beyond the M25: A BBC for all of the UK Jana Bennett OBE Director of Vision, BBC Speech to the Royal Television Society 15 October 2008 The Commonwealth Club, London Thank you so much for coming along this evening to hear about our plans for the BBC outside of London. I am not the only American to recognise what is so precious about every part of this country. It was Bill Bryson in Notes from a Small Island who observed: ‘Can there anywhere on earth be, in such a modest span, a landscape more packed with centuries of busy, productive attainment?’ This American would like to see more attainment from every part of the UK reflected in network television production. And I am delighted to say that is exactly what the BBC is going to do. Our intention is nothing less than changing the very DNA of the BBC to bring the production of programmes closer to the audiences we serve. That means permanently increasing the production and commissioning of programmes in other parts of the country. More than ever before, it will be a BBC for all of the UK. The extensive programme that we are embarking on will boost jobs and the creative industries across the UK for both in-house and independents. There are those who doubt that moving resources on a serious scale can be achieved without jeopardising creative quality. Those that think at regional and national centres of excellence cannot possibly be sustainable. They are right to appreciate the scale of the challenge but wrong in their conclusions.
