    Jeremy Bowen Middle East Editor, BBC Media Masters – October 10, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by the BBC’s Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen. During his 35-year career, he has reported from over 20 wars and 80 countries, including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Rwanda, and Iraq, often in the line of fire. Away from the front line, his television work includes the documentaries ‘Moses’ and ‘Son of God’, and even presenting duties on ‘Have I Got News for You’. Jeremy’s string of accolades includes BAFTAs, Emmys, a Peabody, four Royal Television Society and three Bayeux awards. He has also written three bestselling books. Jeremy, thank you for joining me. Well, thanks for inviting me. Firstly, it’s great to see you in good health. You made a very brave public announcement that you are undergoing chemotherapy for bowel cancer in April. Yes, I was going to keep quiet about it but I saw that my friend and colleague, George Alagiah, who also has bowel cancer, that George was doing some stuff for one of the charities, Bowel Cancer UK. And to be honest with you, I felt a bit guilty not doing it. I didn’t really want to share my medical details with perfect strangers, but I thought it was in a good cause that the cause was trying to get people tested. And I did it and there was a good reaction.

  • George Alagiah on Britishness
    George Alagiah on Britishness blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2009/10/26/george-alagiah-on-britishness/ 2009-10-26 George Alagiah is a brave man. Amidst a backdrop of screaming headlines on the BNP’s Question Time appearance, the BBC news anchor used a POLIS lecture to call for a debate on what it means to be British. It was a very personal and sophisticated argument – we’ll have the podcast up soon, but for now, here’s a report on the lecture by Hestor Phillips. [You can listen to the podcast here] The Problem With Multi-Culturalism and the Magic Of Migration by Hester Phillips George Alagiah is one of most popular and experience TV journalists. But his own story was the starting point for his lecture on Identity and News. Sri-Lankan born Alagiah described the overwhelming sense of displacement he felt when arriving here via Ghana in 1967. Laughed at by schoolmates for having what they described as a tan without tan-lines – for his physical and cultural differences – Alagiah said he engaged in “total emersion therapy” in British culture in order to survive. But years later, when a friend meeting his mother for the first time expressed surprise that she was Asian, the enormity of his “unnatural dislocation” from his past hit home. In his attempt to become British, Alagiah had left vital parts of himself behind. For Alagiah, this “private tussle that every immigrant goes through – the pull of tradition and heritage on the one hand and assimilation on the other”, lies at the heart of the migrant experience, and it is only by understanding this process at a personal level that debates around immigration will progress.

  • The Educational Backgrounds of Leading Journalists
    The Educational Backgrounds of Leading Journalists June 2006 NOT FOR PUBLICATION BEFORE 00.01 HOURS THURSDAY JUNE 15TH 2006 1 Foreword by Sir Peter Lampl In a number of recent studies the Sutton Trust has highlighted the predominance of those from private schools in the country’s leading and high profile professions1. In law, we found that almost 70% of barristers in the top chambers had attended fee-paying schools, and, more worryingly, that the young partners in so called ‘magic circle’ law firms were now more likely than their equivalents of 20 years ago to have been independently-educated. In politics, we showed that one third of MPs had attended independent schools, and this rose to 42% among those holding most power in the main political parties. Now, with this study, we have found that leading news and current affairs journalists – those figures who are so central in shaping public opinion and national debate – are more likely than not to have been to independent schools which educate just 7% of the population. Of the top 100 journalists in 2006, 54% were independently educated an increase from 49% in 1986. Not only does this say something about the state of our education system, but it also raises questions about the nature of the media’s relationship with society: is it healthy that those who are most influential in determining and interpreting the news agenda have educational backgrounds that are so different to the vast majority of the population? What is clear is that an independent school education offers a tremendous boost to the life chances of young people, making it more likely that they will attain highly in school exams, attend the country’s leading universities and gain access to the highest and most prestigious professions.

  • Old Institution: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the BBC! By
    Creation seminar n n n January 14th, 2020 Renewing a penniless – but tremendously creative – old institution: ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the BBC! by n Catherine Smadja-Froguel n Former Head of Special projects, BBC Overview The fact that it is sometimes referred to by its nickname ‘Auntie’ shows the extent to which the BBC has become an institution in the United Kingdom: 91 % of the British population has access to it. It is an old institution which is preparing to celebrate its centenary. At a time when the concept of state-owned broadcasting is being questioned, it has had its own share of budget cutbacks and staff reductions. It is an old, penniless institution which is regularly called into question. Yet, the BBC is recognised throughout the world as a model of excellence and creativity, covering a very large spectrum ranging from promoting musical talent to the production of critically acclaimed wildlife documentaries. It also shows a programme about cars which has served as a gold standard for forty years, and has successfully managed the shift towards modern TV series. The BBC is a surprising paradox which cares about several factors. These include its history (which has kept the BBC strong in spite of criticism); the relationship it has built with its audience; and its tendency to take risks, for continuous improvement and for the provision of a public service. Report by Sophie Jacolin • Translation by Rachel Marlin The ‘Association des Amis de l’École de Paris du management’ organises discussions and distributes the minutes, these are the sole property of their authors.
