Media consumption amid contestation: Northern Nigerians’ engagement with the BBC World Service
Full text linkThis study primarily examines the dynamics of the long-term relationship between the BBC World Service and its mainly Muslim Northern Nigerian audiences. It broadly explores the pattern and consequences of Northern Nigerians’ interactions with international media, focusing particularly on their engagement with the BBC World Service. Employing a multidimensional qualitative research approach, the study examines the historical background of the relationship, the transformations it has undergone, and how the current dynamics of global geopolitics and advances in communications technologies are redefining it. It looks at the complex processes and procedures of both media content production and reception. On the production side, it unveils the BBC’s contradictory functions of providing ‘impartial’ international news service and promoting British public diplomacy, the complexity of its relationship with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the nature of its engagement with distribution technologies. On the reception side, the mainly Muslim Northern Nigerians are found to be high consumers of BBC news and current affairs programmes but with considerable level of selectivity. Although they see BBC as the most credible international broadcaster that aids their comprehension of international affairs and generally influences their everyday life, they still regard it as essentially a Western cultural and ideological instrument that portrays the West positively and depicts the Muslim world and Africa negatively. The findings point to patterns and particularities of postcolonial transnational audiences’ consumption of media that suggest new conceptual and theoretical strands in reception research. They indicate audiences’ tendency to exhibit a phenomenon of selective believability in their interactions with transnational media; the mediating role of religion, culture and ideology in such interactions; and the dynamics of credibility and believability. Credibility is found to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for believability in audiences’ consumption of dissonant media messages

I am bi-weekly Studio Expert and Co-Host for this well recognised BBC World Service radio show. This role entails being part of the producing team of 6, and working on both content preparation, live presentation and expert commentary, alongside the anchor presenter Gareth Mitchell and the other co-host Bill Thompson.
We are concerned with new trends, new technologies, and new ways we use digital tools in our everyday lives, rather than just talking about the latest shiny toys and gadgets. As we explore how the ever evolving digital world is changing our culture and our societies, we don’t shy away from the news of the day, looking at how digital technologies shape the top stories affecting us all.
We pool and co-generate ideas for the items topically by the week and looking ahead to events and launches we can propose for the future. We prepare for interviews/presentations, sometimes working in advance to pre-record, sometimes traveling to outside broadcasts from particular events or conferences. Then we move into the live broadcast every Tuesday evening at BBC Broadcasting House. The programme presents 4 items a week - a topical headliner, and three other items, globally diverse and linked to a wide variety of topics where technologies intersect wth societal changes, such as agritech innovations in India, cashless society in Africa, new robotics and health tech, social impact tech innovations of many kinds, AI and ethics to name a few. We cover regularly cover arts, culture and tech items and those linked to future human in a digital world - both areas of expertise for myself. The gender balance of speakers in the show is kept at 50:50 across the weeks, and we overview diversity at all times.
My work is to do a live commentary output, sometimes linked to invited speakers live in studio, sometimes in reaction to pre prepared interviews, from my historical and my topical research, working into weekly items as an expert.
BBC Digital Planet has a passionate and engaged audience around the world. This radio show is broadcast weekly on BBC World Service (8 x a week into different timezones) to a reach of 370m, and are also available as a downloadable Podcast for 30 days after broadcast. The Podcast has 110-140k weekly downloads and is one of the most popular BBC podcasts. There is also an active Facebook group 'Digital Planet Listeners' with 10k followers.
I have chosen and attached here a selection of programmes from the 100 plus shows I have copresented, including a show I curated for Nesta's Futurefest 2018 which was recorded live at the festival.
BBC Digital Planet discusses technology and how it impacts our daily lives. It is presented by Gareth Mitchell with the weekly participation of Bill Thompson and Ghislaine Boddington. Produced for BBC World Service by Ania Lichtarowicz

An Uncertain Future for the BBC World Service
No full textIn recent years, the BBC World Service has undergone the most radical overhaul of its governance, finance and working practices since the Second World War. In examining these changes, the Foreign Affairs Select Committee report on The Future of the BBC World Service articulates 'clear differences' between it and the BBC about how the World Service should be governed, and 'serious reservations' about the transfer of funding in April this year from government grant-in-aid to the licence fee. With a new BBC Charter due in 2017, will the distinct ethos and culture of the World Service survive this major reorganisation?</p
