    A Career at BBC Birmingham

    A Career at BBC Birmingham The BBC has approximately 350 staff who work at BBC Birmingham at The Mailbox and the Drama Village. Currently, The Asian Network is based in Birmingham as are parts of Radio 2, with programmes like Clare Teal, Paul Jones and the BBC Big Band. Part of Radio Drama is in Birmingham making The Archers and the new World War 1 series Home Front for Radio 4. BBC English Regions has its HQ in Birmingham and there are also the local regional services BBC Radio WM and TV’s Midlands Today. BBC Birmingham Drama, based at the Drama Village in Selly Oak, produces network TV drama including Doctors, Father Brown and WPC 56.

The Creative and Media Industries are one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK. If you want to work in the media in the future, it helps to understand how it works. Creative and Media is a big industry sector covering radio, TV, publishing, advertising and much more. Different sets of statistics include different occupations and the results can be confusing. The whole sector employs between a million and 2.5 million people across the UK depending on which criteria are used. The Government estimated that the Creative Industries accounted for 1.68 million jobs in 2012.

    Ivision and the BBC: Building Public Value

    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, 5 (2008), 041-055 1646-5954/ERC123483/2008 041 iVision and the BBC: Building Public Value Michael Klontzas, City University, London, UK Abstract Breaking with conventional wisdom that sees public service broadcasters as conveyors of content in line with historically shaped socio-political ideals, centred on quality, access, diversity and independence, evidence suggests that PSB is often the driving force behind key technological innovations serving public policy aims. In the drive towards wholesale digitalisation and the accelerated introduction of an information society, this hitherto understated function is now deemed critical and comes to the fore. More specifically, recent public policy initiatives in the UK, culminating to the 2006 White Paper, openly assign the mission of contributing to the process of ‘building digital Britain’ to the BBC, the flagship public service broadcaster. This vision of digitalisation is defined in broad terms in the policy discourse, as involving all platforms indiscriminately. The BBC’s contribution, designed to entice users to a digital future and simultaneously cement the continued relevancy of the institution in the 21st century, finds expression in a variety of implemented and proposed digital services deliverable over a range of digital platforms, including television and radio, the internet and mobile networks. This paper seeks to interrogate the host of controversial and closely scrutinised internet services offered by the BBC in the light of the digital vision articulated in the public policy discourse. These services shift the emphasis away from the time-honoured broadcasting paradigm to a more interactive approach. Through widespread application of emerging Web 2.0 practices, the users are now invited to participate, and generate and share their own content.

E-mail: [email protected] In 1974, the lofty ambition of a BBC drama producer to manufacture a ‘prestige’ international hit along the lines of Elizabeth R (BBC2, 1971) came unstuck. In this case study, the authors consider the plight of Churchill’s People (BBC1, 1974-75) during a time of economic strife in the UK and industrial unrest at the BBC, and ask how a series which combined so many skilled writers, directors and actors could result in such a poorly-received end product. Churchill’s People is also placed in a wider context to assess its ‘neglected’ status, the authors drawing parallels with other historical drama of the era. The series’ qualification for being ‘forgotten’ is considered in relation to its struggle in the ratings against strong competition, the ‘blacking out’ by unions of production at the BBC for eight weeks and the subsequent pressures on transmission times, prompting the authors’ consideration of a more qualified definition of ‘lost’ drama, i.e.
