  • Jackie Harrison
    NEWS What are the conflicting interests at work behind choosing what gets covered in the news, and how? Addressing these issues with examples across a range of media including print, radio, television and the internet, Jackie Harrison explains the different theoretical approaches that have been used to study news, as well as providing an accessible introduction to how news is produced and regulated, what counts as news and how it is selected and presented. Written in a clear and lively style, News is the ideal introductory book for students of media, communication and journalism. Topics covered include: • introduction to the concept of news • growth and development of news • technology, concentration and competition • balancing freedom and responsibility • regulatory control of the news • making the news. Jackie Harrison is Professor of Public Communication in the Department of Journalism Studies at the University of Sheffield. She has written widely on television violence, European audio-visual policy, the culture of news production and the changing digital television environment. ROUTLEDGE INTRODUCTIONS TO MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS Edited by Paul Cobley London Metropolitan University This new series provides concise introductions to key areas in contemporary communications. Each book in the series addresses a genre or a form of communication, analysing the nature of the genre or the form as well as reviewing its production and consumption, outlining the main theories and approaches that have been used to study it, and discussing contemporary textual examples of the form. The series offers both an outline of how each genre or form has developed historically, and how it is changing and adapting to the contemporary media landscape, exploring issues such as convergence and globalization.

  • Pakistan Connection Diasporas @ BBC World Service Audience
    Pakistan Connection Diasporas @ BBC World Service Audience Research Report Authors: Marie Gillespie, Sadaf Rivzi, Matilda Andersson, Pippa Virdee, Lucy Michael, Sophie West A BBC World Service / Open University Research Partnership 1 Foreword What does a shop owner in Bradford have in common with a graduate from Princeton USA, a construction worker in Bahrain and a banker in the City of London? All are users of the bbcurdu.com website, and all are part of the global Pakistani diaspora. The term diaspora is used to describe the global dispersion of migrant groups of various kinds. Diasporas are of growing economic, political and cultural significance. In a world where migration, geopolitical dynamics, communication technologies and transport links are continually changing, it is clear that culture and geography no longer map neatly onto one another. Understanding diaspora groups inside and outside its base at Bush House, London, is ever more important for the BBC World Service, too. Diaspora audiences are increasingly influencing the way the BBC conceives and delivers output. For example, over 60% of the weekly users of bbcurdu.com are accessing the site from outside the subcontinent, and this proportion is rising. The same trend has been observed for other BBC language websites. (See BBC World Agenda, September 2008.) The research presented here is based on a unique partnership between BBC World Service Marketing Communication and Audiences (MC&A) and The Open University. It was funded primarily by MC&A but it was also generously supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) though the Diasporas, Migration and Identities Research Programme, which funded a project entitled ‘Tuning In: Diasporic Contact Zones at BBC World Service’ (Grant Award reference AH/ES58693/1).

Council sees Local Video as an enhancement to existing services and additional to plans already in place to improve BBC local service provision [specifically those to bring service provision in Northern Ireland (and Scotland) into line with those in England and Wales]. Council also recognises the potential benefits of more user-generated content, giving communities the opportunity for involvement, with BBC support, in generating local news stories.
