  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • RTS Scotland Announces Winners of the 2021 Student Television Awards
    PRESS RELEASE THE ROYAL TELEVISION SOCIETY SCOTLAND ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF THE 2021 STUDENT TELEVISION AWARDS Glasgow, 1 June 2021 – The Royal Television Society’s (RTS) Scotland Centre last night celebrated the winners of its 2021 Student Television Awards, sponsored by STV. The awards ceremony was hosted by STV Entertainment Reporter Laura Boyd via STV Player last night, with all the outstanding winning entries also showcased in full on the platform. The RTS Scotland Student Television Awards celebrate the best audiovisual work created by students across the region in Animation, Scripted and Non-Scripted categories, with the judges looking for strong storytelling, creativity, innovation, outstanding visual and aural creativity with high-quality craft skills, and a strong emphasis on originality. For 2021, the nominees reflected the work from a range of talented students at Scottish institutions, with the winning teams of students from Glasgow Clyde College, City of Glasgow College and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Simon Pitts, Chief Executive Officer of STV, said: “Supporting and celebrating the creative talent of the future is vital to us at STV, so we’re thrilled to once again be sponsoring the RTS Scotland Student Television Awards. The film-making prowess on display was hugely impressive, especially after the year our students have had, although I’ve come to expect nothing less from the fiercely talented bunch who enter these awards each year.” “I’m pleased that STV Player viewers will be given the opportunity to enjoy these unique short films, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with RTS on supporting Scotland’s young creatives into the industry as part of our ongoing partnership.” All nominated and winning films are available on STV Player now, and the full ceremony is available to watch here.

  • The Impact of Using Youtube in EFL Classroom on Enhancing
    Journal of College Teaching & Learning – Second Quarter 2015 Volume 12, Number 2 The Impact Of Using YouTube In EFL Classroom On Enhancing EFL Students' Content Learning Huda Omar Alwehaibi, Princess Noura Bint Abdulrahman University, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT Information technology has opened up prospects for rich and innovative approaches to tackle educational issues and provide solutions to the increasing demands for learning resources. YouTube, a video-sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share video clips, offers access to new and dynamic opportunities for effective and non-traditional patterns of teaching and learning. In Saudi Arabia, this technology has not been exploited much for educational purposes. The present study aims at experimenting the impact of integrating YouTube technology into English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on enhancing EFL college students’ learning of the content of the course: “Observation in Schools 2”. This course is one of five courses taught in the program “Elementary School Teacher of English” which aims at developing certain observation skills for effective teaching in elementary school. Such skills could include using particular frames or lenses to gain insight about the classroom and teaching and learning, and developing methods of observing and recording. For the purpose of the study, a quasi experimental design was adopted. Based on such design, two groups of second year college students at the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the Faculty of Education at Princess Noura University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were randomly assigned to the experimental and the control groups of the study. There were forty- five students in the control group and fifty-one in the experimental group.

  • Scottish Television
    Scottish Television Are those who work in television libraries and archives to be classed as critical workers? This was the question facing management at Scottish Television (STV), a public service broadcaster based in Glasgow, as the UK went into lockdown when the Coronavirus crisis hit. STV’s Media Centre Manager, John McVie, has the challenging role of servicing broadcast, STV Player (an online hub for STV content), newsroom operations and production needs at this difficult time. In normal circumstances, the Media Centre team is based on site, managing a collection of physical and digital video assets and providing services to all parts of STV. As an office-based operation the team has quickly had to adapt their services, with transmission the main priority (keeping STV on-air), alongside ensuring that the daily news output continues to be captured to STV’s archive systems and catalogued to usual standards. However, one consequence of the current news cycle is that the demand for archive material to be used in news bulletins has reduced, as the journalistic focus is on one story only, which has little need for archive footage to illustrate it. The Media Centre has introduced a roster system (and, as a consequence, a reduced service for news), with only one member of the team based on site each day, while others in the team work from home. Working on site now presents new challenges, as the rostered person cannot mix with other teams and must maintain social distancing, remaining isolated as much as possible while in the building. In addition, archive workers in transmission and news environments handle multiple tapes and machines per day.

Watch the meeting Members present: Pete Wishart (Chair); Mhairi Black; Andrew Bowie; Deidre Brock; Wendy Chamberlain; Alberto Costa; John Lamont; Douglas Ross. Questions 1-72 Witnesses I: Steve Carson, Director, BBC Scotland, Gary Smith, Head of News and Current Affairs, BBC Scotland, and Louise Thornton, Head of Multiplatform Commissioning, BBC Scotland. Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Steve Carson, Gary Smith and Louise Thornton. Q1 Chair: Welcome to the Scottish Affairs Committee for this one-off session with BBC Scotland, in which we will explore some of the pressing issues which are engaging us just now. Before we get started with the questions, I will let our colleagues introduce themselves. Mr Carson, please tell us anything by way of a short introductory statement, and please introduce your colleagues while you’re there. Steve Carson: Good morning Chair and members of the Committee. BBC Scotland last appeared at the Scottish Affairs Committee in December 2018, a few months before the launch of our BBC Scotland channel. Since then, I am delighted to say that that service has become the most- watched digital channel in Scotland, with a higher reach and higher share than some long-established household names. Over the past year and a half, the landscape has been dominated by covid and, like all other industries in Scotland, public broadcasting has adapted and changed its speed to meet the needs of our audiences during this time.

    IN MEMORIAM Dr. Judith Freedman UDITH Freedman, who died in London on 20 December 2009, was for fifty years associated with the production of the Jewish Journal Jof Sociology, which her husband Professor Maurice Freedman had helped establish half a century earlier and which served and serves as the vehicle for the dissemination of high-quality research into problems of social formation, ethnic identity and demography amongst Jews both of the diaspora and of Israel. Dr Freedman was herself a scholar of international repute. Born into the large and well-connected Djamour family in Egypt on 22 September 1921, she was educated at the University of Cairo and at the London School of Economics, where she completed her doctoral research. This investigation, focussing on issues of kinship and matri- mony within the Malay community of Singapore, resulted in two influ- ential monographs, Malay Kinship & Marriage in Singapore and The Muslim Matrimonial Court in Singapore. Her professional interest in the social anthropology of south-east Asia had brought her into contact with a fellow researcher in this field, Maurice Freedman, late of the Royal Artillery. The couple were married in London in 1946. She collaborated with Sir Raymond Firth (her doctoral supervisor, Professor of anthropology at LSE and one of the founders of modern social anthropology) in his researches into issues of family and kinship in a south London borough. Maurice, mean- while, had returned to LSE as a lecturer, succeeding Firth as Professor of anthropology there in 1965. Five years later Maurice moved to Oxford, where, on the retirement of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard, he had been elected to its prestigious chair of social anthropology, and to an All Souls fellowship.
