  • People in the News Roly Keating
    Insights – 26(3), November 2013 People in the News: Roly Keating People in the News Roly Keating In November 2011, the British Library announced that after 12 years in post, Dame Lynne Brindley would be stepping down as Chief Executive at the end of July 2012. Baroness Blackstone, Chairman of the British Library, said in a press statement, “Lynne’s great contribution has been to redefine the British Library for the 21st century, to ensure its relevance and vitality in the digital age and that the Library remains a leader in the global information network”. This set the bar very high for Lynne’s successor. Roly Keating took up the post in September 2012. Born in 1961, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, in 1983 with a first class degree in Classics, before joining the BBC as a general trainee the same year. He later became Controller of BBC Two (during which time he oversaw the launch of a number of popular series, including Dragons’ Den, Coast, Springwatch and The Apprentice), eventually becoming Director of Archive Content, a role which made him overall editorial leader for the BBC’s online services, including BBC iPlayer. To mark his first year in post at the British Library, Insights took the opportunity to catch up with Roly and see how things are progressing. Your Editor began by asking a little about his career before arriving at the British Library, having come from a broadcasting background. “I began my career as a programme maker at the BBC, specializing in arts documentaries for strands such as Arena and Omnibus… “, he said.

    DP1153 BPV Frontcover.qxd 6/25/04 2:52 PM Page 1 Building public value Renewing the BBC for a digital world CONTENTS Chairman’s prologue 3 Overview and summary 5 PART I: The BBC’s purpose, role and vision 1 Why the BBC matters 25 2 Changing media in a changing society 48 3 Building public value in the future 60 4 Demonstrating public value 83 5 The breadth of BBC services 89 6 Renewing the BBC 98 7 Paying for BBC services 112 PART II: Governing the BBC 123 Conclusion 135 1 2 Chairman’s prologue The BBC does not have a monopoly on wisdom about its own future. This is a contribution to the debate over Charter renewal, not the last word. I look to a vigorous and informed public debate to produce the consensus about the future size, shape and mission of the BBC. This document is itself a consensus, arrived at after a vigorous debate inside the BBC, and represents the considered views of Governors and management. Part II – our proposals on governance – is, of course, entirely the responsibility of the Governors. At the heart of Building public value is a vision of a BBC that maintains the ideals of its founders, but a BBC renewed to deliver those ideals in a digital world. That world contains the potential for limitless individual consumer choice. But it also contains the possibility of broadcasting reduced to just another commodity, with profitability the sole measure of worth. A renewed BBC, placing the public interest before all else, will counterbalance that market-driven drift towards programme-making as a commodity.
