Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation
Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation. Lecture by Irwin Stelzer* The Beesley Lectures sponsored by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the Regulatory Policy Institute Institute of Directors, London, 23 September 2010. * Director of Economic Policy Studies, the Hudson Institute; columnist for The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal. I have in the past or am currently a consultant to several firms with interests in these issues. They include Google, News Corporation, News International, and Sky TV. 1 I approach this assignment with considerable trepidation. For one thing, I have been a consultant in years gone by both to News International and Sky, which might colour my views on some of these issues. I leave it to the audience to decide whether that is the case. For another, I did not anticipate that this lecture would occur on the heels of a rather acrimonious exchange of MacTaggart lectures between James Murdoch, who ran Sky before moving on to a larger stage, and Mark Thompson, the extraordinarily articulate and durable -- he has two MacTaggarts under his belt, a feat it took two generations of Murdochs to match -- advocate for the interests of BBC.1 Finally, I have been in and about Britain for enough years to know that there are two things an American should not do: attack the NHS, and criticise the BBC. Dare to do the former, and risk hearing tales of Americans bleeding to death on hospital steps for lack of a credit card or ready cash. Criticise the BBC, and prepare to be regaled with tales of the disgusting state of American television: one distinguished columnist swears that when he checked into an American hotel all he was able to find on television was pornography -- which should come as a shock to BBC advocates, since BBC is a leading importer of American programming. -

NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust. -

Tangible - Intangible Heritage(S): an Interplay of Design, Social and Cultural Critiques of the Built Environment
TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S): AN INTERPLAY OF DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT • Paper / Proposal Title: The Stately Home Industry: The English country house and heritage tourism 1950-1975. • Author(s) Name: Michael Hall • University or Company Affiliation: University of Kent • Presentation Method. I would like to: i. present in person (with a written paper) • Abstract (300 words): In post-war Britain, shifts in political, economic, and societal structures meant that long- accepted attitudes towards national identity were forever altered. At the crossroads of these concerns was the English country house, which during this period came to symbolise a national heritage. Just as the peerage was systematically stripped of official political powers, agricultural production became uncompetitive and stripped most aristocratic families of their fortunes. The English country house, once a symbol of power and wealth, became a liability. Post-World War II Britain saw another series of shifts in economics and society. As the Empire began to disintegrate, a rise in national nostalgia took hold. Popular culture, bolstered by the BBC on both television and radio, turned to representations of aristocracy, monarchy, and the country house. Seizing an opportunity, a small group of aristocrats repositioned the country house and its role in society as a heritage asset, making it once again culturally relevant and fiscally viable. By taking advantage of increases in leisure time and automobile ownership—and adding ‘attractions’ to engage visitors beyond art and architecture—the country house became a new type of tourist destination. The successes at houses such as Longleat, Woburn Abbey, and Beaulieu were replicated by other country houses using techniques that were disseminated both officially— through workshops, conferences, and publications—and unofficially through networks of privilege and soft power. -
