  • South Asian Ethnics in Britain and BBC: Content Analysis of a Television Program. INSTITUTION Kentucky State Univ., Frankfort
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 320 980 UD 027 492 AUTHOR Mohapatra, Manindra K. TITLE South Asian Ethnics in Britain and BBC: Content Analysis of a Television Program. INSTITUTION Kentucky State Univ., Frankfort. Schou_ of ,ablic Affairs. PUB DATE Nov 89 NOTE 28p.; Paper presented at the Annual Conference on South Asia (18th, Madison, WI, November 2-5, 1989). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Reports - Research /Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Attitude Change; Content Analysis; *Ethnic Groups; Foreign Countries; *Immigrants; Indians; *Programing (Broadcast); Racial Attitudes; *Television; Television Research IDENTIFIERS Bangladesh; *Great Britain; Pakistanis; Sri Lanka ABSTRACT This study uses content analysis of "Network East," an ethnic television program aired on British television, to identify the major concerns of the South Asian community in Britain. Most South Asians, comprised of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans, live in the urban centers of London, Birmingham, Leicester, and Bradford. The following tentative conclusions are reported: (1) "Network East" appears to be a balanced ethnic program for the South Asians in Britain but it is not certain how many non-South Asians watch the program; (2) the program's producers seem to balance positive and negative stories about South Asians in Britain, but the number of the negative outweighs that of the positive; (3) the issues presented on the program appear to represent the concerns of the South Asians in Britain; and (4) the program offerings are designed for second-generation British-born South Asic.7,s who are fluent in English and contrast sharply with the British Broadcasting System's (BBC) ethnic programs screened in the 1970s, which emphasized entertainment and music programs, placed a low priority on public affairs, and the language of broadcast was a mix of Hindi/Urdu languages.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. 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. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.
