  • 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.

  • The International Media Coverage of China: Too Narrow an Agenda?
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford The international media coverage of China: Too narrow an agenda? by Daniel Griffiths Michaelmas Term 2013 Sponsor: BBC 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, James Painter and Rana Mitter, for their help and advice with this research. I am also very grateful to the staff at the Reuters Institute and the other Fellows for making my time at Oxford so interesting and enjoyable. Finally, a big thank you goes to my family for all their love and support. 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 1. Introduction 7 2. Literature Review 9 3. Methodology 10 4. Results 12 5. Conclusions and Recommendations 18 Bibliography 20 Appendix: Articles in Content Analysis 21 3 Executive Summary China is an increasingly important player in global affairs but there is very little research on how it is presented in the international media. This matters because even in today's increasingly interconnected world the media can often influence our perceptions of other countries. This study presents a content analysis of news stories about China in the online editions of the New York Times, BBC News, and the Economist over two separate weeks in the autumn of 2013. In total, 129 stories were analysed. Due to the time constraints of a three month fellowship it was not possible to compile a broader data set which might have offered greater insights. So this paper should not be seen as a definitive study. Instead, it is a snapshot intended to open a discussion about representations of China in the global media and pave the way for further research.

  • Bbc Global Audience Measure
    BBC GLOBAL AUDIENCE MEASURE A quick guide What exactly is the Global Audience Measure (GAM)? The Global Audience Measure is an annual update of how many people are consuming the BBC weekly for ALL international services excluding the BBC’s output aimed at the UK market in ALL countries across ALL platforms (TV, Radio, website and social media). The GAM builds 240 ‘single customer view’ models, one for every country in the world, each year. We do this by combining measurement data for BBC radio, TV, websites and social media: TV and radio data counts people through either surveys that we run in market, or through ratings data (BARB in the UK, or Arbitron in the USA, generally industry currencies in key developed markets). As surveys are extremely expensive to run continuously, we select particular markets to update each year. Digital data (social media and web analytics) is a continuous measurement that we can access whenever we want. However, it does not count people – but rather browsers or impressions. The GAM process converts digital data to represent people. These individual sources are brought together, and converted into individual adult weekly reach. The reach is de-duplicated- that is, people using multiple platforms to access our content (ie TV and radio or tablet and mobile) or multiple services (World Service English radio and World News TV channel) or languages (say, English and Swahili in Kenya) are counted only once. This has the net effect of lowering – and thereby making more accurate- our top level reach figure for each country, and therefore for the global reach figure.

This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure? This article focuses on Twitter, now a widely used tool in the newsroom, analysing the Twitter output of 10 UK political correspondents during the busy party conference season.

Volume 12, Issue 1 May 2015 Mapping networks of influence: Tracking Twitter conversations through time and space Alistair Willis, Open University, UK Ali Fisher, Independent Researcher Ilia Lvov, University of St. Andrews, Scotland Abstract: The increasing use of social media around global news events, such as the London Olympics in 2012, raises questions for international broadcasters about how to engage with users via social media in order to best achieve their individual missions. Twitter is a highly diverse social network whose conversations are multi-directional involving individual users, political and cultural actors, athletes and a range of media professionals. In so doing, users form networks of influence via their interactions affecting the ways that information is shared about specific global events. This article attempts to understand how networks of influence are formed among Twitter users, and the relative influence of global news media organisations and information providers in the Twittersphere during such global news events.
