  • Developing a Strategy to Encourage the Animation Industry Life Cycle Evolution in Saudi Arabia
    Developing A Strategy To Encourage The Animation Industry Life Cycle Evolution In Saudi Arabia By Ohud Alharbi Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by: Dr. Emily Baines Ms. Janet Choo Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities De Montfort University July 2017 I Abstract This thesis examines the Saudi animation industry and investigates the barriers that are preventing the development of its life cycle. Although there has been a demand for animation content since the establishment of the Saudi TV in 1965, the Saudi animation industry remains in its Introduction stage. Therefore, the study undertakes an analysis of the factors that could enable the industry to move to its Growth stage. To achieve this, the study attempts to establish an understanding of how different countries succeeded in developing their animation industry life cycle. Therefore, the study selects three countries as a qualitative multiple case study. These countries are the UK, which represents a Mature animation industry; Egypt, which represents an established Growth industry; while the United Arab of Emirates represents an emerging Growth industry. This has involved an in-depth analysis of the animation industries in Saudi Arabia and two other Arabian countries – UAE and Egypt – as well as of the UK. There has been very limited historiography for Arabian animation and almost none on the Saudi Arabian industry previously. A consideration of which factors should be investigated, as the most effective in influencing the evolution of the industry, was undertaken. Reviewing the available literature on the animation industry development showed that four factors have been found to play a considerable role in developing the local animation industry: Higher II Education institutions, Networks, Government and Location.

  • Future of Childrens Television
    An independent report on The Future of Children’s Television Programming Deliberative research summary Prepared by Opinion Leader Publication date: 2nd October 2007 1 Contents 1. Executive summary 2. Introduction 3. The role of children's television 4. Satisfaction with children’s television 5. Public Service Broadcasting 6. Availability of children's programmes and channels 7. Range of children’s programme genres 8. New programmes and repeats 9. Country of origin of children’s programmes 10. Ideal futures for the provision of children’s programmes 11. Appendices 2 Executive summary Background Ofcom initiated the review of children’s television programming in response to a number of consumer and market changes. These include an increase in the range of media available to many children and a growing number of dedicated children’s channels, as well as changes in the way children consume media. As a result, traditional commercial public service broadcasters are facing significant pressures on their ability to fund original programming for children. These changes are occurring in the context of a new framework for the regulation of children’s programming, set out in the Communications Act 2003. Since the Act, ITV1, which had historically played a role in delivering a strong alternative voice to the BBC in terms of children’s programmes, has significantly reduced its commitments to children’s programming. This development, together with the other consumer and market changes outlined above, has led many to ask how public service children’s programming can continue to be delivered in the future. The Communications Act requires Ofcom to report on the fulfilment of the public service broadcasters’ public service remit at least once every five years and to make recommendations with a view to maintaining and strengthening the quality of public service broadcasting in the future.
