  • BBC Trust’S Editorial Standards Committee
    SERVICE REVIEW OF RADIOS 3 AND 4 SUBMISSION FROM BBC AUDIENCE COUNCIL FOR SCOTLAND RADIO 3 Classical music repertoire Radio 3’s Service Licence states that the network “should produce regular special events on significant themes across a wide range of music and arts topics. The great composers should regularly be represented on Radio 3, but there should also be a range of less familiar music in order to introduce listeners to new works." There was discussion at the focus group on the range of repertoire available on the Radio 3. Two main points emerged. Broadening awareness Listeners place a high value on the network’s ability to broaden their awareness of the extent of the classical music repertoire. “One of its functions is to be like a public library of music.” This applied to other genres, such as jazz and world music, as well. Radio 3’s role in relation to the mainstream repertoire is not to support it, but to challenge it. “You’re always learning... but it’s never condescending, and you’re never preached at.” “There is lots of assumed knowledge [of music], but there are other places for people who don’t have that, like Classic FM” “It’s not targeted at a particular age... it’s targeted at people who want to be stimulated or challenged” (West of Scotland, early 20s) For some loyal listeners, the range of repertoire was thought to have narrowed in the last ten years or so: coverage of new music was said to be less extensive now. Connecting between genres The role of extending listeners’ awareness applied between genres as well as within them.

With the Israel / Gaza conflict experiencing a particularly bloody recapitulation, the World Music Net- work continue their fantastic series of Rough Guides with the Rough Guide To The Music Of Palestine, focusing on the often over- looked culture of the troubled region. One might expect this album to be chock-full of Palestine’s particular brand of Levantine classical music and Egyptian- inspired orchestral works that are seemingly ever-present in the Arabic world, but, while some great examples of these are included, they sit amongst a diverse line-up that includes hip-hop, punk, pop, reggae and a fair amount of jazz. Full credit should be given to compilers Nili Belkind and Nadeem Karkabi for managing to squeeze in so many styles without any sounding out of place or Photo: Judith Burrows the album feeling too muddled. With such a range of genres, it’s quite difficult to choose particular highlights, although Sanaa Mous- sa’s indie-acoustic tribute to Ottoman-period Palestinian songsters on Wea’younha and the driving modern jazz of Michel Sajrawy’s Tojann stand out in particular. As with most Rough Guide releases, The The Elizabethan Nancy Kerr Music Of Palestine comes with a bonus album – Reflections Of Palestine by buzuk player THE ELIZABETHAN overtly ‘Elizabethan’-inflected pieces Ramzi Aburedwan.

    POETRY PLEASE MYFANWY MARSHALL AND GEMMA DYE THE OPPORTUNITIES A range of accessible poems, with fairly easy to identify thematic links Opportunities for creative teaching and preparation from Y7 Familiar assessment demands for teachers, unlike parts of the new Language papers THE CHALLENGES Context – students often shoehorn in (sometimes irrelevant) context in a way that feels like they are writing by numbers. Effects – students don’t pause to think about their personal response before they begin to analyse. They lack confidence in their own ability to read a poem or to engage with its content/ themes. Terminology – students are driven by their desire to feature-spot, more than to engage with the reasons behind the techniques and methods ‘FOUND’ POETRY Creative and fun for students Encourages them to think about the impact of individual word choices as well as overall tone and effect of language Makes phrases memorable/ recognisable Students make links between certain poems almost without realising. Start considering themes and ideas that will be prominent in the poems INTRO TO YOUR ANTHOLOGY Read up to 4 of the poems in your cluster You only need to read them to look for words and phrases you like rather than for their meaning within the poem. • Powerful phrases • Interesting phrases • Exciting words • Images Write them down on your note pad and be ready to share/ explain why you chose those words or phrases.

  • The Media and UN "Peacekeeping"Since the Gulf War
    Vol. XVII No. 1, Spring 1997 The Media and UN "Peacekeeping"Since the Gulf War by Stephen Badsey Stephen Badsey is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of War Studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and a Senior Research Fellow of the Institute for the Study of War and Society at DeMontfort University. INTRODUCTION 1 The changes in United Nations (UN) "peacekeeping" operations within the last five years have been both dramatic and multifaceted. This article attempts to show that the media (particularly those of the United States, which are dominant within, and may under most circumstances be taken as virtually identical to, the international media) have in all their aspects become, and remain, critical elements in determining the success or failure of these operations. It points to three principal areas of current practice regarding the media which have contributed to the failure or partial failure of recent UN "peacekeeping" missions. One of these is a failure of understanding of the media exhibited by the government and military forces of the United States, as the result of doctrine established before the end of the Cold War. Another is the failure of the UN or its constituent members to respond effectively to anti-peacekeeper propaganda, especially that promulgated by political authorities in target countries for "peacekeeping," and including their ability to exploit the international media for propaganda purposes. The third is the failure of the UN to develop "peacekeeping" doctrine which takes the value of the media into account. The article calls for advances in international relations theory in this field as an aid to further understanding.
