BBC 100 Voices: Literary India at the BBC
No full textDecades before the ‘Raj revival’ captured the attention of viewers and listeners – with Radio 4’s Plain Tales from the Raj, ITV’s The Jewel in the Crown and David Lean’s big-screen adaptation of A Passage to India - the BBC embarked on a very literary relationship with India, one rooted in World War Two
Women in Black
Full text linkWomen in Black is a an animated title sequence for a BBC 2 documentary series which explores the role of the `Abaya or veil in contemporary Muslim societies. I was commissioned to produce a 30 second animation illustrating the journey of UK born, Yemeni presenter Amani Zain as she travelled the world investigating customs and traditions relating to Islamic dress codes for women. This hand drawn digital animation piece emerged from my commercial animation practice at Picasso Pictures in London, and focused on the use of animated transformations to create a constantly moving tableau. The use of metamorphosis has a long history in drawn animation, exploiting the `frame by frame nature of the drawn sequences, a process that allows for considerable latitude in visual continuity. The design research process for this piece was driven by the content of the documentaries, with their portrayal of ordinary womens lives in Muslim countries. This material was rich in detail and subtle difference and allowed me to develop a number of linked visual themes through the sequence. This project contributes to research around animation as an appropriate medium for discussing complex social issues. Recent animations such as `Dance with Bashir and `Persepolis have applied a new perspective to Middle Eastern documentary subjects, drawing new audiences into debates around history and culture. The significance of this research is that it furthers discussion around cultural identity and choice for women in Islamic societies. The title sequence animation was the first point of entry to the documentary series, as such it had to both encapsulate ideas and engage the audience, representing the key themes of identity and diversity for women in Islamic societies

BBC charter review: public consultation
Full text linkThe constitutional basis of the BBC is the Royal Charter, which is due to expire at the end of 2016. This consultation paper therefore seeks to engage the UK in a dialogue about the future of the BBC.
The BBC is one of the great institutions of Britain, but to continue to thrive it must continue to evolve. The Charter Review will explore four areas of possible change:
Mission, Purpose and Values – what the BBC is for, examining the overall rationale for the BBC and the case for reform of its public purposes;
Scale and scope – what the BBC therefore should do, examining the services it should deliver and the audiences it should be seeking to serve;
Funding – how the BBC should be paid for, examining not just future potential funding models but related issues such as how best to enforce payment; and
Governance – how the BBC should be overseen, examining options for reform of the current Trust model alongside other governance issues.
The BBC has changed considerably over the nearly 100 years since it was established. So too has the world in which it operates. In the decade since the current Charter was introduced we have arguably seen more change in the media sector than in any previous decade – with an explosion in choice for audiences both in terms of the ways of accessing content and the variety of providers. As these changes have occurred, some of the original arguments for the BBC have become less relevant. But the rationale for a publicly-funded BBC that “informs, educates and entertains” as part of a wider public service broadcasting ecology remains strong even in the current media age. The Government is therefore committed both to the future of the BBC and to its underlying Reithian mission.
This changed and changing media landscape does, however, raise some questions about how best to define the unique role of the BBC. One question that is particularly important is how we can best understand the idea of ‘universality’. As more and more options become available for how audiences watch, read and listen to content, the question of the extent to which the BBC should focus on providing programmes and services for all audiences, and on an equal basis, across every platform, or whether it should instead focus more on particular or underserved audiences with its output, becomes relevant. A second question relates to whether the BBC should instead have a more targeted or prioritised set of purposes to reflect its increasingly varied and competitive environment
Compulsory loyalty? Accountability, citizenship and the BBC
Full text linkThis paper situates contemporary debates about the governance and accountability of public service broadcasting in the context of debates in the UK about renewal of the BBC’s Charter. It draws on Warnock’s (1974) notion of accountability as provision of information and the ability to exercise sanctions and on Hirschman’s (1970) and Thompson’s (2003) distinctions between exit, voice and loyalty and hierarchical, market and network forms of governance. How is accountability to be exercised in the contexts defined by Hirschman and Thompson and what is the role of trust (O’Neill 2002)? In contrast to the “strong” framing of the normative conception of the consumer (see Peacock 1986, Potter 1988, Sargant 1992 and 1993) as an active user able to hold institutions to account in a well functioning market the citizen in broadcasting is constructed (following Marshall 1981) merely as the “weak” object of distribution of welfare rather than as an active agent able to hold broadcasters to account. In consequence, the UK Government’s proposals for a new BBC governance regime are considered perhaps inadequate to meet contemporary demands for improved public service accountability
