Book Description
The Committee's report examines the Government's proposals for the future of the BBC, as set out in the Government's Green Paper ("A strong BBC, independent of government") published by the DCMS in March 2005 for consultation. The Committee's conclusions include i) that the BBC's mandate and structure should be defined in statute rather than by Royal Charter; ii) the licence fee is the best way to fund the BBC over the next decade, although the system for agreeing the cost of the fee should be more transparent, with the BBC bid subject to independent investigation by the NAO; iii) the Government, rather than the licence fee payer, should fund the costs of the analogue switch-off; and iv) the Government's proposals for reforming the governance and regulation of the BBC are confusing, misguided and unworkable. A further report is due to be published by the Committee in Spring 2005 which will focus on the role of the BBC in the nations and the regions, the BBC World Service and the broadcasting of sport and religion.
Routledge Handbook of Media Law

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
Featuring specially commissioned chapters from experts in the field of media and communications law, this book provides an authoritative survey of media law from a comparative perspective. The handbook does not simply offer a synopsis of the state of affairs in media law jurisprudence, rather it provides a better understanding of the forces that generate media rules, norms, and standards against the background of major transformations in the way information is mediated as a result of democratization, economic development, cultural change, globalization and technological innovation. The book addresses a range of issues including: Media Law and Evolving Concepts of Democracy Network neutrality and traffic management Public Service Broadcasting in Europe Interception of Communication and Surveillance in Russia State secrets, leaks and the media A variety of rule-making institutions are considered, including administrative, and judicial entities within and outside government, but also entities such as associations and corporations that generate binding rules. The book assesses the emerging role of supranational economic and political groupings as well as non-Western models, such as China and India, where cultural attitudes toward media freedoms are often very different.

Price is Director of the Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for the University of Pennsylvania and Joseph and Sadie Danciger Professor of Law and Director of the Howard M.

Review
Author: How the Department for Culture, Media and Sport assessed the BBC's efficiency as part of the licence fee settlement
Author: Great Britain: National Audit OfficePublisher: Stationery Office

Pages : 21
Book Description
As part of the process of setting the level of the television licence fee from April 2007, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has made an assumption about the level of efficiency savings the BBC can deliver. This report by the National Audit Office examines whether the Department has reasonable grounds on which to base its assessment of the BBC's scope for efficiency savings. The evidence available to the Department, includes the BBC's own analysis, which has a fundamental assumption that by March 2008, when it is due to have completed its three year value for money programme, it will have matched best practice in current technology and work practices and therefore be at the efficiency frontier; the work of PFK, commissioned by the DCMS to consider the BBC's efficiency achievements, concluded the BBC would not be at the efficiency frontier by 2008; the work of PA consulting, commissioned by BBC Governors, was that the BBC was beginning to deliver the value for money programme, but that the absence of transformational change could limit efficiencies; the work of Magnetum, consultants commissioned by the BBC and other broadcasters to compare the price per hour paid by broadcasters for a range of UK commissioned television programmes, concluded the BBC paid more per hour for progarmmes and that the BBC is commissioning programmes with a more expensive set of production components. The NAO has concluded, that the evidence available to the Department provides detailed analyses of the BBC's performance against targets set in 2000 and the range and deliverability of its current and future efficiency plans. The NAO did offer two recommendations where the process of assessing the BBC's efficiency by the Department could be strengthened: (i) consulting with the BBC and others on appropriate comparator organisations and performance indicators in advance of any assessments; (ii) the Department alone engaging any consultants thought necessary to take forward assessment or comparator work.

Public Bbc,First Report of Session
Author: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Culture, Media, and Sport CommitteePublisher: The Stationery Office

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
The Committee's report on the BBC's Charter review focuses on four inter-related issues: i) the scope and remit of the BBC in the context of the growth of digital TV and on-going technological developments in audiovisual communications; ii) its funding mechanism; iii) its governance and regulation; and iv) whether a Charter provides the most appropriate means of establishing the Corporation in a rapidly-changing communications environment. Key aspects considered include the role, definition and scope of public service broadcasting, the growth of multichannel television, the on-going roll-out of broadband networks, and the Government's plans to switch off the analogue television signal. The report makes 38 conclusions and recommendations, including i) the BBC should be placed on a statutory basis by Act of Parliament at the earliest opportunity, with allowance for pre-legislative scrutiny by a joint Committee of both Houses; with a five year Charter to cover the interim period, between the date the current Charter expires at the end of 2006 and the passing of the recommended legislation; and ii) fundamental changes in the governance system of the BBC, with responsibility for corporate governance separated from maintenance and regulation of its independence.
The BBC's management of risk
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public AccountsPublisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215037640
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
This Committee of Public Accounts report on "The BBC's management of risk", sets out a number of recommendations on dealing with risk, and what the BBC's Executive Board should implement. Risk comes in different forms, from the risk of damaging the Corporation's reputation as a public service broadcaster to personal risk staff can experience when reporting from dangerous parts of the world. This report follows on from a National Audit Office report of the same title, and is available from the NAO website: http://www.bbcgovernorsarchive.co.uk/docs/reviews/nao_riskmanagement.pdf. Among the recommendations are: that BBC guidance needs a clearer delineation of responsibilities for risk management; that the main themes of risk management are not aligned with corporate objectives; that the BBC should update its assessments of the risks of working in hostile environments, as the abduction of journalist Alan Johnson showed; by failing to comply with its own Broadcasting Code, the BBC was fined by Ofcom over the a live phone-in competition on Blue Peter, and illustrates that some programme makers are ignoring the BBC's own editorial guidelines, exposing the corporation to reputational risk; the BBC has not related its risk to corporate objectives or assigned all risks to named owners; that BBC managers at all levels are not sufficiently engaged in the management of risk; there is still no fully satisfactory regime under which the BBC is accountable to Parliament for the value for money with which it spends licence fee payers money.
