  • BBC Public Complaints Responses 2016.Pdf
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2016 BBC News, Coverage of the death of David Bowie, 12 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers and listeners who felt there was too much coverage of David Bowie’s death during BBC News programmes and bulletins. Response from BBC News David Bowie was by common consent one of our greatest pop stars who attracted a global following. He appealed across the ages and was one of the most influential musicians of his time. His death was both sudden and unexpected, his illness not revealed to anyone but a tight circle of friends. Our coverage tried to reflect his stature as a musician whose capacity for invention changed the shape of the industry, and the shock at his death around the world. Question Time, BBC One, 14 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers who felt the panel had a right wing bias. Response from Question Time Over the course of a series Question Time aims to achieve balance and hear from a range of voices. Each programme usually consists of one senior politician from both the Labour and Conservative party, as well as representatives from other political parties. The rest of the panel is made of political commentators, journalists, and other public figures that add a different perspective and represent a range of viewpoints across the series. We also aim to ensure that each episode has a divergent and broad range of views from the panel on the likely topics that our audience wish to raise. David Dimbleby moderates the debate to ensure panellists are given the opportunity to make their views known in a fair way.

  • Food in a Warming World the Changing Foods on the British Plate
    FOOD IN A WARMING WORLD THE CHANGING FOODS ON THE BRITISH PLATE Food in a warming world: - The changing foods on the British plate Executive Summary Our climate is changing at an alarming rate, with 2015, 2016 and 2017 confirmed as the three warmest years on record. The international Paris Agreement has been created to limit the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change, and it recognises the breadth of activities that contribute emissions. The role of the food we eat has come into the spotlight in addressing climate change, and it is now evident how much we can all do to help global efforts by adapting our diets. This report takes the example of four iconic, classic UK dishes: chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, ploughman’s lunch, and cawl, Wales’ famous lamb stew. We consider where the ingredients come from and how much the different ingredients contribute to carbon footprint. For comparison, one example result shows that the emissions for the ingredients and preparation of one chicken tikka masala meal are equivalent to boiling a kettle 89 times to make a cup of tea. In doing so, we consider how the footprints of these meals compare to the ‘carbon budget’ we need to have adopted by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement. But the climate and our food is a two-way street. We have identified twenty risks posed by climate change to our classic British dishes, some affecting food production overseas, while others emerging on home shores. Example impacts include lower yields for global commodities like rice and soybeans; heat stress disrupting livestock productivity; warmer, wetter conditions leading to pest invasions and proliferations; and water shortages threatening age-old production regions.

  • 2016 RISJ Paper Jisun Youm Plus TS Final Tweak
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford Past, Present, and Future of Food Programmes in Public Service Television By Jisun Youm Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity Terms 2015~16 Sponsor: FBC (Foundation for Broadcast and Culture) Acknowledgements All of this would not have been possible without the help from Tim Suter, my academic supervisor. As a former BBC producer and also founding member of Ofcom, his expertise and knowledge on public service broadcaster policies have helped in refining this research. His guidance through British television history and food is what comprises half of what is written. If there is any sense of British humour to be found in this paper, I have to return the honours to Dr. David Levy and Dr. James Painter. The two pillars of Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism did not only introduce the journalistic insights but also the witty observations that helped making this an enjoyable read. If not, it just shows my lack of ability in imitating good British jokes. Financial aid was what actually made this all possible. My utmost gratitude goes to FCB, who made the choice to send me to Oxford and picked up the bills. Also my employer, KBS, kept me on their payroll even though I was not actually working for them for a year. The Sabbatical experience in RISJ has enriched me both as a person and a television producer. I wish the two respectable organizations make full use of this. I would like to thank all the RISJ journalist fellows who have endured my imperfect jokes and homemade Kimchi.
