  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • Colonial Relations in Action in the Celebrity Big Brother Household
    POPPADOMS , PRINCESSES , AND PRIVILEGE : (N EO )C OLONIAL RACISM IN THE CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER HOUSEHOLD DAMIEN W. RIGGS Writing on the topic of “celebrity colonialism” requires consideration of how colonialism continues to be reconfigured. More specifically, examinations of the “colonial” in “celebrity colonialism” must pay specific attention to the ways in which ongoing acts of empire (and the racial hierarchies they evoke) enact neo-colonialisms that assume a guise of inclusiveness, but which perpetuate colonial hierarchies. Importantly, however, it is necessary to recognise the existence of postcolonial challenges to neo-colonialisms that may occur in the celebrity sphere. The 2007 UK series of Celebrity Big Brother provides an opportunity to examine these various functions of celebrity colonialism as they played out between British and Indian housemates. Usha Zacharius and Jane Arthurs neatly summarise the events that occurred as follows: In January 2007, the UK reality show, Celebrity Big Brother , became the center of a political controversy when Jade Goody, a previous winner of Big Brother , and two other [British] contestants were accused of racial bullying of Shilpa Shetty, Bollywood film star and winner of the 2007 show. Goody and others coined ethnocentric and racist neologisms to describe Shetty’s cooking, her eating habits, and her nationality which resulted in the show attracting thousands of viewer complaints. The whole issue took on political dimensions in both India and Britain when Keith Vaz, a Labour MP of Indian origin, tabled a motion in the House of Commons criticizing the show’s racism, and Indian commerce minister Kamal Nath and others brought up the issue with visiting British chancellor Gordon Brown.

  • The Media, Poverty and Public Opinion in the UK
    The media, poverty and public opinion in the UK John H. McKendrick, Stephen Sinclair, September 2008 Anthea Irwin, Hugh O’Donnell, Gill Scott and Louise Dobbie How the media in the UK represents poverty and its effect on wider public understanding. The media fulfi ls an important role in shaping, amplifying and responding to public attitudes toward poverty. This study, part of the ‘Public Interest in Poverty Issues’ research programme, explores the role of national, local and community media in refl ecting and infl uencing public ideas of poverty and welfare. The research aimed to: • compare representations of poverty across different contemporary UK media; • identify the principal factors and considerations infl uencing those involved in producing media coverage of poverty; • understand how UK media representations of poverty relate to the public’s understanding of poverty, and any differences between the responses of different groups; • identify examples of effective practice in communicating poverty issues to the public and derive transferable lessons from these. The researchers analysed coverage of poverty in news reporting; looked at how the same poverty news story was reported across different news outlets; reviewed how poverty was presented across different genres of television programme; interviewed key informants involved in the production, placement and presentation of poverty coverage in the mass media and explored public interpretations and responses to media coverage of poverty through focus groups/ workshops. www.jrf.org.uk Contents

We, however, argue that Reality TV is both a pervasive and important cultural form, and as such it is vital that researchers and teachers engage with it. We return to the controversial UK Big Brother 2007 arguments involving Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. We explore how the dynamics of class, gender and race played out in this case. Using this example, we look at how celebrity culture, ideas of truth and dominant discourses of White working-class culture position both the housemates and their audiences. We further argue that the coverage of the event foreclosed any discussions of White middle-class racism by drawing on discourses that denigrate the White working-class. In this paper we argue that Reality TV is an important social phenomenon as evidenced by the amount of controversy and debate that this genre generates. It is also a site of pleasure for both of us writing this paper and provides us with an intermingling of emotional pleasure and academic challenge.
