Gleichzeitig erodiert das Vertrauen der Menschen in Politik, Wirtschaft, Religion und Medien. ORF und BR bleiben von diesen Entwicklungen nicht unberührt und sehen sich zuse- hends dem Spannungsverhältnis von dynamischem Wandel und aufkei- mendem demokratiegefährdendem Populismus ausgesetzt. Der Funktionsauftrag der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien verlangt daher auch von öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien wie dem BR und dem ORF eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit, die sich auf ihre vermittelnde Rolle, ihren Integrations- und Vielfaltsauftrag, insbesondere aber auf ihren Bildungs- auftrag bezieht. Die vorliegende Studie behandelt den Bildungsauftrag der öffentlich- rechtlichen Medien vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen kommunika- tionstechnologischen Umbrüche und Veränderungen, aber auch der gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche und Krisen. Erkenntnisinteresse des Stu- dienprojektes ist es, Grundlagen für eine Neubewertung des bestehen- den Bildungsauftrags des ORF und des BR unter Berücksichtigung neuer Her ausforderungen zu liefern, diese im Kontext der digitalen Welt zeitge- recht zu definieren sowie neue Perspektiven und Zielorientierungen zu entwickeln. Damit wird ein zentraler Bestandteil der unterscheidbaren Medienqualität des BR und des ORF behandelt, die nicht nur retrospek- tiv zu kontrollieren, sondern vor allem zukunftsorientiert weiterzuentwi- ckeln ist. Ziel ist es, eine seriöse, wissenschaftliche Basis dafür zu erstel- len und sinnstiftende Argumente zu sammeln, die dem BR und dem ORF helfen, sich im Sinn der Erfüllung ihres öffentlich-rechtlichen Auftrages zukunftsfähig zu positionieren und zugleich geeignete Argumente im Le- gitimationsdiskurs herzustellen. Die zentralen Fragestellungen dafür lauten: – Welche Bedeutung hat der Bildungsauftrag bei der Produktion von unterscheidbarer öffentlich-rechtlicher Medienqualität? 3 PUBLIC VALUE 2017 – Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich für den Bildungsauftrag der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien (insbesondere des BR und des ORF) aufgrund der kommunikationstechnologischen Umbrüche und Veränderungen sowie der gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche und Krisen? – Wie verändert sich die Rolle der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien? – Welche neuen Formen der Zusammenarbeit und Allianzen (mit Bildungseinrichtungen, Kreativwirtschaft, Qualitätsmedien, inter- nationalen Partnern,…) sind dafür anzudenken? – Welche Rahmenbedingungen sind zur Erfüllung eines zukunftsfä- higen Bildungsauftrages (etwa im Rechtsrahmen und der zur Ver- fügung stehenden finanziellen Ressourcen) notwendig? – Welche neuen Perspektiven, Zielorientierungen und Aufgaben er- geben sich dadurch? Um eine interdisziplinäre und diskursive Vielfalt bei der Beantwortung dieser Fragen zu ermöglichen, wurden – in Kooperation mit dem Baye- rischen Rundfunk – insgesamt sechs Wissenschaftler/innen beauftragt. Sie wurden gebeten – jeweils aus ihrem wissenschaftlichen Zugang he- raus – sachdienliche Analysen und Perspektiven einzubringen, wie der BR und der ORF zukünftige Herausforderungen im Spannungsverhältnis Bildung/ Demokratie/Medien erfolgreich bewältigen könne. Maren Beaufort (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften) bezieht sich in ihrer Arbeit darauf, wie es gelingen kann, die „Konsu- mentenmentalität“ der Mediennutzer/innen zu durchbrechen und den Erwerb (staatsbürgerlicher) Kompetenzen durch Wissensvermittlung in öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien zu fördern.Volker Grassmuck liefert eine umfassende Analyse der Grundlagen des Bildungsauftrages, die sich insbesondere drei Ländern widmet: Deutschland, Großbritannien und Österreich. Dabei bezieht er sich vor allem auf Parameter des Bildungs- auftrages im digitalen Zeitalter und thematisiert Fragen der Medienkom- petenz, der Wissensvermittlung insbesondere für junge Publikumsgrup- pen. Bernhard Pörksen (Universität Tübingen) entwickelt vor dem Hintergrund einer Analyse der „fünften Gewalt“ des digitalen Zeitalters, der Online-Welt, konkrete Vorschläge dafür, wie öffentlich-rechtliche Medien zur wirkungsvollen Wissensvermittlung und Bildung der Öffent- lichkeit beitragen können. Hartmut Rosa (Universität Jena) entwickelt auf der Grundlage seiner allgemein beachteten Resonanztheorie eine 4 DER AUFTRAG: BILDUNG IM DIGITALEN ZEITALTER Perspektive, wie „Resonanzsphären“ von öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien entwickelt werden könnten, die einer effektiven Erfüllung des Bildungs- auftrages dienlich wären.Katharine Sarikakis (Universität Wien) erörtert den Bildungsauftrag hinsichtlich seiner besonderen Rolle für Demokratie, politische Bildung, Gemeinwohlorientierung und das En- gagement der Bürger/innen. Dabei bezieht sie sich auf die Herausforde- rung neuer Allianzen mit dem Bildungssektor und der Kreativwirtschaft sowie auf rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen, die Qualitätsmedienproduk- tion im digitalen Zeitalter nicht nur definieren, sondern vor allem ermög- lichen sollen. Klaudia Wick (Deutsche Kinemathek Berlin) analysiert, wie gebührenfinanzierte Systeme bei der Vermittlung von Inhalten neue, dem Anliegen des Public Value angemessene Wege entwickeln können und bezieht sich dabei nicht nur auf klassische Informationsprogram- me, sondern auch auf fiktionale Inhalte der Unterhaltungsproduktion.

PROF. DR. HARTMUT ROSA UNIVERSITÄT JENA Moderne demokratische Gemeinwesen in bevölkerungsreichen Flächen- staaten sind ohne funktionsfähige und politisch und ökonomisch un- abhängige Medien im Grunde nicht denkbar. Dabei kann als unstrittig gelten, dass das Hauptgewicht der ›Leistung‹ öffentlicher und politischer Medien nicht, oder nicht nur, auf der Beschaffung und Bereitstellung von Informationen, sondern mindestens ebenso sehr (und vermutlich weit mehr) in der Erfüllung eines (politischen und kulturellen) Bildungsauf- trages und in der Bereitstellung einer Plattform für die kommunikative, durchaus auch konfliktive Herausbildung einer ›öffentlichen Meinung‹ liegt. Ich werde im Folgenden diese letztere Funktion der (öffentlich- rechtlichen) Medien als ›Demokratieauftrag‹ bezeichnen. Hier liegt der wesentliche Grund dafür, wieso sich im deutschsprachigen Raum (und darüber hinaus) öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk- und Medienanstalten gebildet haben und wieso sie staatlich verankert und garantiert sind (vgl. etwa den Rundfunkstaatsvertrag der BRD von 1987 oder das Bundes- verfassungsgesetz über die Sicherung der Unabhängigkeit des Rundfunks (BVG Rundfunk) in Österreich von 1974). Insbesondere im Zuge der Ent- wicklung interaktiver, asynchroner und digitaler Medienangebote und -formate hat sich jedoch die Art und Weise, wie der Bildungs- und der Demokratieauftrag erfüllt werden (können) verändert, und mehr noch: Der Charakter dieser Aufträge selbst hat sich verändert. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, eine Rekonzeptionierung des Bildungs- und des Demokratieauftrags öffentlich-rechtlicher Medien auf der Basis der so- ziologischen Resonanztheorie (Rosa 2016) vorzuschlagen. Die Grundlage hierfür bilden die bildungs- und demokratietheoretischen Überlegun- gen, die ich im Kontext der Soziologie der Weltbeziehung (ebd., siehe auch Rosa/Endres 2016 und Peters/Schulz 2017) entwickelt habe. Im Folgenden werde ich in vier Schritten vorgehen: Nach einer kurzen zeitdiagnostischen Einleitung über den aktuellen Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit(en) und die damit einhergehenden sozialstrukturellen 6 DER AUFTRAG: BILDUNG IM DIGITALEN ZEITALTER Entwicklungen (1) werde ich zunächst eine resonanztheoretische

  • Laissez-Faire Regulation, the Public Spending Squeeze and the Drive to Digital Guy Starkey*
    Cultural Trends, 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09548963.2014.1000591 COMMENTARY 5 Cultural policy in the coalition years: Laissez-faire regulation, the public spending squeeze and the drive to digital Guy Starkey* 10 Centre for Research in Media & Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK Introduction Radio, so often described by academics as the “invisible” (Lewis & Booth, 1989), “Cinder- ” – “ ” 15 ella (Halesworth, 1971, pp. 189 191) or even forgotten medium (Pease & Dennis, 1994), has enjoyed a relatively settled period under the coalition government. There has been no crisis of confidence over ethical and legal issues, as exposed in the press by Leveson and the police operations, Elveden, Tuleta and Weeting. There have been few head- line-grabbing (if difficult-to-evaluate) initiatives like local television, as exemplified by London Live or Made in Tyne & Wear, and no government-rocking conflicts of interest as 20 spectacular as that over the ownership of BSkyB. Nor indeed has there been any game-chan- ging reorganisation of public funding, similar to the Arts Council’s lists of winners and losers. Yet, as is so often the case, radio remains a significant, but largely, ignored medium. In terms of government policy, it has suffered mixed fortunes under the five years of the coalition. Official listening figures continue to confirm recent trends in radio’s fortunes. If radio grabs 25 little of the media limelight, it remains a medium with an enviable ubiquity. It may have been slow to win audiences among younger people as large as when it broke new music and pro- vided the kind of escapism sought by youth in the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Research & Development White Paper
    Research & Development White Paper WHP 293 April 2015 Automatic retrieval of closed captions for web clips from broadcast TV content Chris J. Hughes & Mike Armstrong BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION White Paper WHP 293 Automatic retrieval of closed captions for web clips from broadcast TV content Chris J. Hughes & Mike Armstrong Abstract As broadcasters’ web sites become more media rich it would be prohibitively expensive to manually caption all of the videos provided. However, many of these videos have been clipped from broadcast television and would have been captioned at the point of broadcast. The recent FCC ruling requires all broadcasters to provide closed captions for all ‘straight lift’ video clips that have been broadcast on television from January 2016. From January 2017 captions will be required for ‘Montages’ which consist of multiple clips, and the requirement to caption clips from live or near-live television will apply from July 2017. This paper presents a method of automatically finding a match for a video clip from within a set of off-air television recordings. It then shows how the required set of captions can be autonomously identified, retimed and reformatted for use with IP-delivery. It also shows how captions can be retrieved for each sub-clip within a montage and combined to create a set of captions. Finally it describes how, with a modest amount of human intervention, live captions can be corrected for errors and timing to provide improved captions for video clips presented on the web. This document is based on one originally published at NAB 2015. Because it was written for an American audience it uses the word "captions" throughout in place of "subtitles".

  • The Value of Public Service Media
    The Value of Public Service Media T he worth of public service media is under increasing scrutiny in the 21st century as governments consider whether the institution is a good investment and a fair player in media markets. Mandated to provide universally accessible services and to cater for groups that are not commercially attractive, the institution often con- fronts conflicting demands. It must evidence its economic value, a concept defined by commercial logic, while delivering social value in fulfilling its largely not-for-profit public service mission and functions. Dual expectations create significant complex- The Value of ity for measuring PSM’s overall ‘public value’, a controversial policy concept that provided the theme for the RIPE@2012 conference, which took place in Sydney, Australia. This book, the sixth in the series of RIPE Readers on PSM published by NORDI- Public Service Media COM, is the culmination of robust discourse during that event and the distillation of its scholarly outcomes. Chapters are based on top tier contributions that have been revised, expanded and subject to peer review (double-blind).

  • Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media
    ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SPORT AND NEW MEDIA New media technologies have become a central part of the sports media landscape. Sports fans use new media to watch games, discuss sports transactions, form fan-based communities, and secure minutiae about their favorite players and teams. Never before have fans known so much about athletes, whether that happens via Twitter feeds, fan sites, or blogs, and never before have the lines between producer, consumer, enactor, fan and athlete been more blurred.The internet has made virtually everything available for sports media consumption; it has also made under- standing sports media substantially more complex. The Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media is the most comprehensive and in-depth study of the impact of new media in sport ever published. Adopting a broad interdisciplinary approach, the book explores new media in sport as a cultural, social, commercial, economic, and technological phenomenon, examining the profound impact of digital technologies on that the way that sport is produced, consumed and understood.There is no aspect of social life or commercial activity in general that is not being radically influenced by the rise of new media forms, and by offering a “state of the field” survey of work in this area, the Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media is important reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in sports studies, media studies or communication studies. Andrew C. Billings is the Ronald Reagan Chair of Broadcasting and Director of the Alabama Program in Sports Communication at the University of Alabama, USA. He has published eight books and over 80 journal articles and book chapters, with the majority focusing on the inter- section of sports media and identity.

  • Pact First Consultation Response
    Submission to Ofcom first consultation on proposed changes to BBC iPlayer May 2019 Ofcom first consultation on proposed changes to BBC iPlayer Introduction 1) Pact is the UK trade association representing and promoting the commercial interests of independent feature film, television, digital, children's and animation media companies. 2) In 2017, the BBC was the largest PSB commissioner of the independent production sector at £453 million. However, the BBC external commissioning spend has declined from 2009 when it was £498 million and 2013 when it stood at £476 million.1 This fall in external spend has resulted in a growing financial gap between the BBC’s programme tariff (budget contribution) and the actual cost of the programme. A large proportion of the decline in spend on first-run originated spend has been mitigated by an increase in third-party funding, such as co-production arrangements, tax credits and deficit funding from production companies. The independent production sector has provided approximately £2.5 billion of UK and international marketplace deficit finance for PSB content production over the last ten years. 3) This deficit financing model applies to all the PSBs (BBC, ITV, C5 and C4) as producers are required to accept risk as part of the financing process of much of UK PSB content. In order to secure the necessary UK and international sales to bridge the financing and/or enable the producer to make a profit from the series (IP), producers are incentivised under this system to make the series as high quality as possible to maximise its potential exploitation.

  • A Study of R&D in Media
    POLITECNICO DI TORINO MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT MASTER’s DEGREE THESIS A STUDY OF R&D IN MEDIA: A QUALITATIVE CASE STUDY OF BBC R&D AND CRITS Candidate Academic Supervisor Taha Hodroj Marco Cantamessa Academic Year 2018/2019 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENT Education has planted eternal seeds in my heart and mind, I dedicate this thesis to every teacher and professor, who have helped me reach this path; To my first teacher who taught me how to use a pen; to my internship supervisor, Sabino Metta; and to my academic supervisor Marco Cantamessa. I would also like to thank my family and friends, I would have never been able to reach this point in my life if it was not for your support and care. 2 “Open books, Open minds” … 3 ABSTRACT R&D was once done in extensive research laboratories, under the hands of brilliant scientists and engineers. Not anymore. The costs of creating and developing technologies have risen, while profits have declined and innovation life-cycle are shortened. Media companies are now innovating in technology clusters with a joint- effort from lead users. This thesis provides a brief synopsis on the impact of convergence to market scenarios and innovation conditions. It finds that, as media converges, R&D in media will remain important, but must adapt to networked-based innovations. Further on, the thesis empirically studies BBC's R&D and CRITS (Rai) activity and analyses their respective managerial, operational and organisational practices before and after convergence. The case study finds that BBC R&D transitioned its innovation approach towards open innovation, while CRITS is locked in its own competencies due to strong path dependency.
