This practice- based research explores the rich history of radio as an artistic medium and the relationship between the artist and technology, emphasising the role of the artist as a mediator between broadcast institutions and a listening public. It considers how radio art might be defined in relation to sound art, music and media art, mapping its shifting parameters in the digital era and prompting a consideration of how radio appears to be moving from a dispersed „live‟ event to one consumed „on demand‟ by a segmented audience across multiple platforms.

In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.

  • Does Meeting Bbb Accountability Standards Affect Charitable

    Does Meeting Bbb Accountability Standards Affect Charitable

    DOES MEETING BBB ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDS AFFECT CHARITABLE GIVING? A FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA CHARITIES, REPLICATED BY A NATIONAL SAMPLE Greg Chen, Ph.D. Baruch College, City University of New York August 2013 Introduction Donations are an essential source of revenue for most charities. Unrestricted contributions are especially important for support of general operations and capacity-building. The national aggregate amount of contributions revenue is significant. According to Giving USA, total charitable giving in the U.S. reached $316.23 billion in 2012, an increase of 3.5 percent from 2011 (Giving USA, 2013). However, the nonprofit sector has grown even more rapidly, outpacing the growth of contributions, leading to increased competition among charities and making giving decisions challenging for donors (Cnaan, et al. 2011; Hasenwinkel, 2006; Hager, 2003). Ideally, the performance of nonprofits in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and accountability should be evaluated with the results compared and reported to the public, so that donors can decide on which nonprofit to support, based not only on their values and taste, but also on the charity’s performance and accountability. However, performance measurement of nonprofits is complicated. Practitioners and academic communities have not yet developed common methods and criteria for charity impact evaluation that can be applied across subsectors, and in some cases, even within service areas (Richie et al., 2004). Many charities also lack in-house expertise to conduct meaningful self-evaluations of outcomes or operations performance. In this context, donors may base their giving decisions on accountability measures such as nonprofit governance and oversight practices, accuracy of fundraising solicitations, financial elements such as budgets and program expense ratios, and transparency in terms of easy access to nonprofit information (Polonsky and Grau, 2011).
