TIME Magazine Circulates MARCH 16, 2015 THE BUSH IDENTITY WHERE JEB FITS IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS BY ALEX ALTMAN & ZEKE J. MILLER time.com ELECTRICITY IS POWERING PROGRESS. More than half of Ghana’s 25 million people live in rural areas, most without access to electricity. It’s a problem that affects families on a daily basis and limits their access to quality health care, education and jobs. The Government of Ghana devised a plan to bring electricity to over 500 remote towns. Citi’s long-standing pan-African presence allowed us to work with government leaders to provide long-term fi nancing for this project. The result is better hospitals, schools and opportunities for the Ghanaian people. For over 200 years, Citi’s job has been to believe in people and help make their ideas a reality. citi.com/progress © 2015 Citibank, N.A.

Printed in the U.S. time March 16, 2015 1 Editor’s Desk The Family Business back in january, as voters were coming to grips with the reality that Campaign 2016 was upon them, pollster Peter Hart conducted a focus group with a bipartisan array of vot- ers in Colorado. No set of 12 people can count as a representative sample of the voting public—but focus groups do help campaigns map the truths and traps of the national mood. So even as the money rolls in and the armies muster on both sides, it poses a challenge to both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton that one voter suggested there be an act of Congress forbidding anyone named Bush or Clinton to run again—and that half the room agreed. As someone with a long-standing interest in these two political dynasties—particularly their relationships with each other—I admit to feeling challenged as well.

Fourteen years later, RT has become a self- described tool for information warfare and is under increasing scrutiny from the United States government for allegedly fomenting unrest and undermining democracy. It has also grown far beyond its television roots, achieving a broad diffusion across a variety of digital platforms.

    NBCUniversal International Television Production, Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland and TF1 enter ground- breaking partnership to produce US procedural dramas LONDON – 13 April 2015: NBCUniversal International Television Production (NBCU-ITVP), Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland and TF1 today announce that they have entered into an international co-production partnership to produce original US-style TV procedural dramas, allowing these leading international broadcasters to secure a pipeline of high quality, US-style procedural content from NBCUniversal. It is the first time that European broadcasters have partnered with a major US media company for a deal of this nature. This unique tripartite collaboration, conceived by Michael Edelstein, President of NBCU-ITVP, brings together leading international broadcasters – Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland and TF1 – with a major US media company that produces world class content across multiple genres. The partnership is designed to produce up to three new dramas over two years and will benefit from NBCUniversal’s wealth of expertise in producing high-quality, long-running procedural dramas such as Law & Order and House. Commenting on the partnership, Michael Edelstein said: “Procedural drama is a highly popular TV format in the global marketplace due to its episodic, rather than serialized, format. This pioneering venture with RTL and TF1 has the ability to create a number of exciting new series and represents the bold approach of these forward thinking broadcasters. For the first time, our partners will have the opportunity to commission US procedural drama directly from a company with a proven track record of success in the genre.” Procedural drama is particularly valuable to European broadcasters who are able to schedule programs with far greater freedom – episodes can be stacked and aired out of sequence.

August 2013 ABSTRACT From the late 1970s on, as competition intensified, British broadcasters searched for new ways to cover the escalating budgets for top-end drama. A common industry practice, overseas co-productions seems the fitting answer for most broadcasters; for the BBC, however, creating programmes that appeal to both national and international markets could mean being in conflict with its public service ethos. Paradoxes will always be at the heart of an institution that, while pressured to be profitable, also carries a deep-rooted disapproval of commercialism.

  • Competition and Public Service Broadcasting: Stimulating Creativity Or Servicing Capital?
    COMPETITION AND PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING: STIMULATING CREATIVITY OR SERVICING CAPITAL? Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge Working paper No. 408 by Simon Turner Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT Email: [email protected] Ana Lourenço School of Economics and Management, Catholic University of Portugal, Rua Diogo Botelho, 1327, 4169-005, Porto, Portugal. Email: [email protected] June 2010 This working paper forms part of the CBR Research Programme on Corporate Governance Abstract In UK public service broadcasting, recent regulatory change has increased the role of the private sector in television production, culminating in the BBC’s recent introduction of ‘creative competition’ between in-house and independent television producers. Using the concept of ‘cognitive distance’, this paper focuses on the increasing role of the independent sector as a source of creativity and innovation in the delivery of programming for the BBC. The paper shows that the intended benefits of introducing new competencies into public service broadcasting have been thwarted by, on the one hand, a high level of cognitive proximity between in-house and external producers and, on the other, a conflict in values between the BBC and the independent sector, with the latter responding to a commercial imperative that encourages creativity in profitable genres, leaving gaps in other areas of provision. While recent regulatory reform appears to have had a limited impact on the diversity of programming, it does suggest a closer alignment of programme content with the imperatives of capital. Implications for the literature on communities of practice are noted.
