  • South Asian Ethnics in Britain and BBC: Content Analysis of a Television Program. INSTITUTION Kentucky State Univ., Frankfort
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 320 980 UD 027 492 AUTHOR Mohapatra, Manindra K. TITLE South Asian Ethnics in Britain and BBC: Content Analysis of a Television Program. INSTITUTION Kentucky State Univ., Frankfort. Schou_ of ,ablic Affairs. PUB DATE Nov 89 NOTE 28p.; Paper presented at the Annual Conference on South Asia (18th, Madison, WI, November 2-5, 1989). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Reports - Research /Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Attitude Change; Content Analysis; *Ethnic Groups; Foreign Countries; *Immigrants; Indians; *Programing (Broadcast); Racial Attitudes; *Television; Television Research IDENTIFIERS Bangladesh; *Great Britain; Pakistanis; Sri Lanka ABSTRACT This study uses content analysis of "Network East," an ethnic television program aired on British television, to identify the major concerns of the South Asian community in Britain. Most South Asians, comprised of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans, live in the urban centers of London, Birmingham, Leicester, and Bradford. The following tentative conclusions are reported: (1) "Network East" appears to be a balanced ethnic program for the South Asians in Britain but it is not certain how many non-South Asians watch the program; (2) the program's producers seem to balance positive and negative stories about South Asians in Britain, but the number of the negative outweighs that of the positive; (3) the issues presented on the program appear to represent the concerns of the South Asians in Britain; and (4) the program offerings are designed for second-generation British-born South Asic.7,s who are fluent in English and contrast sharply with the British Broadcasting System's (BBC) ethnic programs screened in the 1970s, which emphasized entertainment and music programs, placed a low priority on public affairs, and the language of broadcast was a mix of Hindi/Urdu languages.
