Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

  • Translation in Journalism: the Practices of Multilingual Foreign Correspondents
    TRANSLATION IN JOURNALISM: THE PRACTICES OF MULTILINGUAL FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS Alexa Ahern Dr. Jeanne Abbott, Chair ANALYSIS Introduction Language translation in journalism demands trust. When readers in the U.S. sit down to read a New York Times story about refugees in Idomeni camp on the border of Macedonia, they are reading words that have been passed through many gatekeepers. One gatekeeper is often invisible — the translator. They aren’t seeing the exact words spoken by a Syrian refugee or a Macedonian border patrol agent or a Greek volunteer. The words have been translated by a journalist or interpreter, and the reader trusts that one or both have translated the words correctly. They trust that they are essentially reading exactly what the quoted source said. But translation isn’t that simple. It’s more complicated than knowing the Arabic word for “ocean” or the Greek word for “refugee.” Translators and journalists must interpret nuance in language — idioms, expressions, implications, sarcasm and slang, not to mention gestures and emotions. In his 1992 essay Traduttore, Traditore, which roughly means “the translator is a traitor” in Italian because a translator can easily obscure truth in translation without readers knowing, John Tusa, former director of the BBC World Service, wrote, “Translators then are not simply traitors. They are more complex than that — they are jugglers, conjurers, mind readers, psychologists, games players, poets, social scientists. At the end they are cultural porters, offering the use of one language an imaginative equivalence of the meaning expressed in another. The question is not whether they get it wrong.

  • An Analysis of Social Media Marketing in the Classical Music Industry
    #CLASSICAL: AN ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING IN THE CLASSICAL MUSIC INDUSTRY Ms Annabelle Angela Lan Lee Royal Holloway, University of London (2017) A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) Page 1 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 2 of 299 Declaration of Authorship I Annabelle Angela Lan Lee hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 28 April 2017 Page 3 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 4 of 299 Abstract With the re-emergence of social media in the 2000s and the increased worldwide usage of mobile devices, the impact of social media still cannot be ignored. From corporate businesses to popular culture, social media are now used in many sectors of society. Not least among these is the classical music industry. Artists and organisations have keenly capitalised on social media in the face of increasing budgetary reductions in the arts and long-held elitist perceptions of classical music. In addition, the classical music business has used social media to profit from economic growth, audiences, and public profiles, and to market accessibility, relevance, and value to a wider audience, notably, younger demographics and non-attenders. As a result, the classical music scene tries to engender technological determinism and digital optimism, ideologies reflecting discourses around Web 2.0/social media. Simultaneously, a so-called ‘digital divide’ is at risk. Various factors, for example, socioeconomic strata, greatly influence how classical music is marketed and branded on social media networks, however, they are barriers to access and enjoyment of the art, online and offline.

  • The War Against Hunt the Death of the Famous Legend, Sir George Martin
    Prince Henry’s High School Wednesday 9th March 2016 [email protected] Maria Sharapova – Featured on Page 16 West Midlands Flooded - Featured on Page 8 Brexit Debate – Featured on Page 4 The War against Hunt By Jay Harris Recently Jeremy Hunt (the Minister for Health Care) introduced a new contract that he was to force upon junior doctors. This contract was that the doctors would have to work weekends with the same, or less, pay than they would get normally in the week, because there are higher death rates on weekends. Both the BMA (British Medical Association) and staff at the NHS are unhappy with the contract that they are being forced to comply with, and so the junior doctors announced that they were going to strike for 48 hours. As of 8:00am British junior doctors have started striking for 48 hours so as to show their views on the new contract that has come into place. Jeremy Hunt when he appeared in an interview announced that he would not be making any compromise in order to change the contract that is being forced upon the doctors. The Shadow Health Secretary of the Labour party Heidi Alexander has warned Hunt that by doing this, one of the biggest gambles with patient safety is trying to be controlled. All of the BMA agrees that there is a need to reform the contract so as to make the medical staff happy, but chaos will follow if there is no change. With recent statistics it doesn’t look like Hunt will end up making a compromise to support junior doctors, considering the BMA want a 50% increase in pay on Saturdays.
