Broadcasting Committee
Broadcasting Committee Alun Davies Chair Mid and West Wales Peter Black Paul Davies South Wales West Preseli Pembrokeshire Nerys Evans Mid and West Wales Contents Section Page Number Chair’s Foreword 1 Executive Summary 2 1 Introduction 3 2 Legislative Framework 4 3 Background 9 4 Key Issues 48 5 Recommendations 69 Annex 1 Schedule of Witnesses 74 Annex 2 Schedule of Committee Papers 77 Annex 3 Respondents to the Call for Written Evidence 78 Annex 4 Glossary 79 Chair’s Foreword The Committee was established in March 2008 and asked to report before the end of the summer term. I am very pleased with what we have achieved in the short time allowed. We have received evidence from all the key players in public service broadcasting in Wales and the United Kingdom. We have engaged in lively debate with senior executives from the world of television and radio. We have also held very constructive discussions with members of the Welsh Affairs Committee and the Scottish Broadcasting Commission. Broadcasting has a place in the Welsh political psyche that goes far beyond its relative importance. The place of the Welsh language and the role of the broadcast media in fostering and defining a sense of national identity in a country that lacks a national press and whose geography mitigates against easy communications leads to a political salience that is wholly different from any other part of the United Kingdom. Over the past five years, there has been a revolution in the way that we access broadcast media. The growth of digital television and the deeper penetration of broadband internet, together with developing mobile phone technology, has increased viewing and listening opportunities dramatically; not only in the range of content available but also in the choices of where, when and how we want to watch or listen.

These awards recognise and celebrate the excellent work researchers at all career stages do with members of the public, whether they’re sharing ground-breaking findings with new audiences or collaborating with the public throughout their research. An exceptional range of innovative activities and projects were nominated by Goldsmiths staff, showcasing different approaches to engaging the public with research and practice. Our researchers worked with organisations like reddit, the V&A, Radio France, The Science Museum, and The National Archives to engage diverse audiences through music, performance, art and play. There was a real sense that researchers, partners and the public benefited from this work, demonstrating how research in the arts, humanities, social sciences and computing can create real positive change in the world. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the nominees, whose work with the public is a real asset to Goldsmiths and an example to our community, and beyond.

Bbc Trust Review of Bbc Network News and Current Affairs Coverage of the Four Nations of the Uk
BBC TRUST REVIEW OF BBC NETWORK NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS COVERAGE OF THE FOUR NATIONS OF THE UK PROGRESS REPORT FROM BBC MANAGEMENT September 2009 BACKGROUND In June 2008, the BBC Trust published an impartiality report on the BBC’s network news coverage of the devolved UK, and the extent to which it was successfully reflecting the constitutional changes begun 10 years earlier. Included in the report was an independent assessment, commissioned by the Trust from Professor Anthony King of Essex University. In July 2008, BBC Management submitted to the Trust a proposed strategy for responding to the issues and concerns that had been identified in the report. The management strategy was accepted, and published, by the Trust. It proposed a significant number of specific actions, and also undertook to report back to the Trust, after 6 months and again after 12 months, on the progress that had been made in putting those proposals into action. A report was duly submitted and approved in January 2009. This further progress report, completed in July 2009, evaluates the situation one year on from the publication of the Trust’s original report. Like its predecessor, this report offers an assessment of the improvements in the range, richness and clarity of BBC coverage of the UK’s nations and regions, including external responses where available. ASSESSMENT OF BBC NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS COVERAGE OF THE UK NATIONS A number of operational changes and significant initiatives have come to fruition since the January 2009 interim report, which taken together will result in sustained and long-term improvements in the quality of BBC coverage in this area.

The Royal Statistical Society Announces Statistic of the Year 2017 Embargo: 00:01 GMT Monday 18 December 2017
Press Release: The Royal Statistical Society announces Statistic of the Year 2017 Embargo: 00:01 GMT Monday 18 December 2017 The Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is pleased to unveil its first ever UK Statistic of the Year and International Statistic of the Year, for 2017. Judges also commended five other runners up. UK STATISTIC OF THE YEAR 0.1% The percentage of the United Kingdom land area that is densely built upon. Cole, B., King, S., Ogutu, B., Palmer, D., Smith, G., Balzter, H. (2015). Corine Land Cover 2012 for the UK, Jersey and Guernsey. NERC Environmental Information Data Centre This figure shows what is officially designated ‘continuous urban fabric’ (CUF) in the UK. It was revealed this year in A Land Cover Atlas of the United Kingdom by Professor Alasdair Rae, from the University of Sheffield. Land is designated as CUF (under the ‘Corine Land Cover Classification System’) if over 80% of ground is covered by artificial surfaces - what most people would call ‘urban jungle’. This statistic appealed to the judging panel because the debate about housing, urbanisation and environmental protection is highly topical and, the judges believe, it will come as a surprise to many people just how little of the UK has been ‘concreted over’. The same research estimated that only 5.4% of the UK land area has been built upon or, in other words, is urban fabric - while 9.4% consists of peat bogs. Source: https://doi.org/10.15131/shef.data.5266495 The Chair of the Judging Panel and RSS President, Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter, said: “The strength in this statistic is its surprise element.
