Here is the section on the negotiations that led to the TV ‘debates’ and their impact – for the full chapter and the authoritative record of all aspects of that campaign, get the book here! By Charlie Beckett, Professor in the Department of Media and Communications, LSE and director of Polis, the LSE’s journalism think-tank. @CharlieBeckett In this election broadcasting tried to reflect a changing political landscape. Television in particular was challenged to adjust to the impact of the smaller parties such as the Greens, UKIP and the SNP. Editorially, broadcasters had to cover a diverse range of issues of varying degrees of scale, importance and relevance to different audiences. All journalists, but most obviously broadcasters, found themselves limited in scope by the unprecedented levels of party stage-management. There were the usual concerns about delivering impartiality and information but perhaps the hardest task for the broadcast journalists was to fulfil their key democratic functions at election time: to engage the public and to hold politicians to account. The strategic reluctance of the main parties to conduct more open campaigns meant that the desire for dramatic broadcasting to match the significance of the stakes was frustrated. Like all journalists, broadcasters were also misled by erroneous polling to construct a false narrative around the relative success of the two main parties.

  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.

  • Small Screen: Big Debate – Consultation Itv Plc Response
    SMALL SCREEN: BIG DEBATE – CONSULTATION ITV PLC RESPONSE March 2021 [Redacted for publication] 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2021 is a critical year for Public Service Media and the UK’s wider TV ecology and creative economy The decisions we take this year about public service media will determine the extent to which the UK will continue to have a thriving national TV market serving all citizens, with public service media at its heart, alongside and participating in a thriving global market. The huge value people in Britain see in what Ofcom rightly calls Public Service Media (or ‘PSM’, which we adopt where appropriate in this submission) was strikingly set out in Ofcom’s consultation. The evidence amassed by Ofcom illustrated particularly the enduring importance of free-to-air, mass reach television from the existing PSB institutions in bringing people together right across the UK, regardless of ability to pay, supporting our culture, democracy and creative economy. PSM promotes and develops our shared values, national resilience, furthers the Creative Industries and nurtures Britain’s soft power abroad. Indeed, so compelling was Ofcom’s description of the benefits PSM brings to the UK and its citizens, we should now move on from the endless debate about the purposes or value of PSM and instead shift attention to the development of a plan to sustain it for the long term. But even as a consensus around the importance of PSM and the need for reform grows, so at the same time the commercial PSBs are faced with the immediate and serious impact of the proposed ban on HFSS food and drink advertising on TV before 9pm.

  • 50 Years of BBC Television News
    Foreword BBC Television News is 50 years old at 7.30pm on July 5th, 2004. Since its launch half a century ago BBC Television News has maintained its core commitment to strong, impartial, distinctive journalism covering events both here and across the globe.The broadcasting landscape may have changed beyond all recognition but in today’s multi-channel world it continues to be a trusted voice in the UK and across the globe. Television News now belongs to the wider stable of BBC News - the largest broadcast news operation in the world with more than 2,000 journalists and over 40 newsgathering bureaux, the majority of which are overseas. It is responsible for the BBC One bulletins, Breakfast and Breakfast with Frost, Newsnight, 60 seconds on BBC Three and the news output on BBC Four. It is also responsible for the two BBC continuous news channels, BBC News 24 and BBC World. The size and scope of BBC News, its journalists and specialists, means that it can cover stories and issues that sometimes other broadcasters can’t. More than 18,000 hours of programming originate from BBC Television News every year.That equates to an average of almost 50 hours of output every day. Over the past five decades this has included reports on all the major news stories and pivotal moments from the first man on the moon, the assassination of John F Kennedy, to famine in Ethiopia, the Vietnam war, and the current war in Iraq. BBC Television News has been there for moments of great historical change such as the fall of communism and the end of apartheid as well as tragic stories, including the death of Princess Diana and the September 11th attacks.
