    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.

The former British middleweight champion spoke to the children about how sport had helped him keep out of trouble as a child, and the importance of being active to remain healthy and ensure positive mental health. Brian said, “So many kids could benefit from using sport as a way to channel frustration and aggression. I was quite a mischievous child and focusing on boxing definitely helped keep me on the straight and narrow. Sport can teach you so many life lessons including how to deal with setbacks and disappointment.
  • Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland's Local Newspaper Industry

    Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland's Local Newspaper Industry

    1 Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland’s Local Newspaper Industry, 2005-14 Anthony Cawley Lecturer in Media, Department of Media and Communication, Liverpool Hope University, L16 9JD [A version of this article was published by Journalism.] Reflecting international trends, Ireland’s local newspaper industry has suffered steep circulation and advertising revenue falls since the late-2000s, and has struggled to reshape traditional business models for the digital era. In harsh trading conditions, local titles are operating on reduced editorial resources and are weakened in their capacity to fulfil their traditional watchdog and informed-citizenry functions. Perhaps no company better encapsulates the industry’s recent difficulties than UK media group Johnston Press. In 2005, it paid more than €200m to acquire fourteen local titles in Ireland, but nine years later sold them for just €8.5m. The article draws on this case-study to consider wider issues related to the corporatisation of local news provision, the sustainability of local news industries in small media markets such as Ireland’s, and the increasing disconnect between local journalism’s commodity value and its public good value.
