14-041368-01 | FINAL | PUBLIC 2014 PSB Review 6 1 Summary of key findings The media landscape continues to change rapidly. Since the last Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) review (2007/2008) there have been significant changes, including the completion of digital switchover, the launch of BBC iPlayer and other on demand services, and a significant rise in broadband access. These changes are having a substantial impact on the way people access content and how they choose what to watch, which in turn has implications for PSB. Ofcom commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct a programme of qualitative and quantitative research for the third PSB review. The two overarching research objectives were: . to explore what UK citizens and consumers want from PSB now and in the future; and . to identify differences in views between age groups, life stages, and other demographic groups. This research report draws on two sources. First, a UK-wide quantitative survey among people aged 16+ investigating their attitudes towards television, the internet and specifically, public service broadcasting now and in the future. Secondly, a series of day-long deliberative workshops with people aged 18+, and two groups with young people (16-18), all with similar aims. Television content in context People continue to value the role that television plays in society, although the internet has become significantly more important since the last review. Television remains the most important source for a range of different activities and pastimes, particularly as a source of news. However, the internet has grown in importance and is now the most valuable media source for finding out about people who share similar interests and hobbies, and discovering new things. Overall, people are now just as likely to agree that the internet has an important social role to play (74%),

  • Free for All? Public Service Television in the Digital Age
    Free for All 2/13/04 1:15 PM Page 91 With digital TV, producers can choose how they get programmes to us, and we can choose how we pay for them Free For All? Public service television in the digital age Barry Cox About Demos Demos is a greenhouse for new ideas which can improve the quality of our lives. As an independent think tank, we aim to create an open resource of knowledge and learning that operates beyond traditional party politics. We connect researchers, thinkers and practitioners to an international network of people changing politics. Our ideas regularly influence government policy, but we also work with companies, NGOs, colleges and professional bodies. Demos knowledge is organised around five themes, which combine to create new perspectives. The themes are democracy, learning, enterprise, quality of life and global change. But we also understand that thinking by itself is not enough. Demos has helped to initiate a number of practical projects which are delivering real social benefit through the redesign of public services. We bring together people from a wide range of backgrounds to cross-fertilise ideas and experience. By working with Demos, our partners develop a sharper insight into the way ideas shape society. For Demos, the process is as important as the final product. www.demos.co.uk First published in 2004 © Demos Some rights reserved – see copyright licence for details ISBN 1 84180 120 8 Typeset by Land & Unwin, Bugbrooke Printed by Hendy Banks, London For further information and subscription details please contact: Demos The Mezzanine Elizabeth House 39 York Road London SE1 7NQ telephone: 020 7401 5330 email: [email protected] web: www.demos.co.uk Free For All?

  • Public Service Priorities in Transition
    Public Service Priorities in Transition: Catering for Minority Interests in the Public Service Media Environments of the UK and Finland Mikko Sihvonen A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Department of Languages, Information and Communications, Manchester Metropolitan University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Languages, Information and Communications Manchester Metropolitan University May 2014 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of neo-liberal marketisation on the provision of two types of minority interest content; children’s and religious programmes, in the terrestrial broadcasting environments of the UK and Finland between 1986 and 2009. Utilising a customised explanatory model devised for this study: the Industrial Equilibrium Model, which combines elements of historical institutionalism and the Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm, the thesis provides an empirical record of marketisation-driven changes in broadcasting institutions and their impact on the provision of children’s and religious programmes. In so doing, the study allows us to evaluate the current state of and future outlook for minority interest content in the 21 st century marketised multi-platform broadcasting environment. The thesis demonstrates that notwithstanding significant social, political, cultural, economic and demographic differences between the UK and Finland, similar marketisation-driven changes have taken place in the strategies of broadcasting institutions. Increasing competitive pressures produced by liberalisation and reorientation of regulation have forced commercial broadcasters in particular to focus increasingly on majority preferences and populist content in their programming, while catering for minority interests occupies a lesser role in the agendas of these broadcasters. The thesis demonstrates that popular preferences increasingly inform programming strategies and production resource allocation.

  • Addressing Harmful Online Content: a Perspective From
    Addressing harmful online content A perspective from broadcasting and on-demand standards regulation Publication Date: 18 September 2018 About this document In the UK and around the world, a debate is underway about whether regulation is needed to address a range of problems that originate online, affecting people, businesses and markets. The UK Government has announced its intention to legislate to improve online safety and intends to publish a White Paper this winter. In July the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee of the House of Commons published an interim report on disinformation and ‘fake news’,1 recommending that “the Government uses the rules given to Ofcom under the Communications Act to set and enforce contents standards for television and radio broadcasters, […] as a basis for setting standards for online content.” This discussion document is intended as a contribution to that debate, drawing on our experience of regulating the UK’s communications sector, and broadcasting in particular. It draws out the key lessons from the regulation of content standards – for broadcast and on-demand video services – and the insights that these might provide to policy makers into the principles that could underpin any new models for addressing harmful online content. 1 House of Commons, DCMS Committee, Disinformation and ‘fake news’: Interim Report, 29 July 2018. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmcumeds/363/363.pdf 1 Contents Section 1.

    © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journalism Studies on 22/08/17, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1461670X.2017.13596 54 Thomas, R. (2017). Biting the Hand: using the relationship between ITV and Barclays to examine the political economy. Journalism Studies. DOI: 10.1080/1461670X.2017.1359654 Biting the hand: Using the relationship between ITV and Barclays to examine political economy. Abstract The Global Financial Crisis presented the media with numerous opportunities to tell dramatic business-based stories. However, the relationship between commercial news and the corporate world is often thought to be deferential, where advertisers wield influence over journalists who are reluctant to criticise those indirectly funding them. Because of these models of capitalist power dynamics, it is often assumed that journalists will take a gentle line when reporting the affairs of advertisers. However, such a normative ideal is essential in an era when evidence suggests that capitalism has not produced any “trickle down” benefits for ordinary people. By taking a multimodal approach including semiotic and critical discourse analysis, this paper examines the broadcaster/advertiser relationship between ITV and Barclays PLC. Using a critical realist framework, the paper finds that in contrast to well-established theories that advertisers shape and influence business news, post-financial crisis, the U.K's largest commercial broadcaster adopted a combative role towards a key contributor to their funding. In comparison, the nation’s main public service broadcaster – the BBC – was less probing. The paper therefore challenges any simplistic correlations between advertising and news output while also arguing that a political economy perspective remains relevant in today’s commercial news landscape.
