Description
Chair of panel, 'Public Service Broadcasting in Northern Ireland: contemporary conditions and future challenges';Panel Members: Siobhan Walsh, Director, Broadcasting and Media, Ofcom; Deborah Dunnett, Lifestyle Commissioning Editor, Channel 4; Eddie Doyle, Head of Content Commissioning, BBC Northern Ireland.
Event summary:
The UK’s media regulator, Ofcom, recently stated that the role of public service broadcasters “includes providing a wide range of informative and entertaining programmes that reflect the diversity of the nations and regions of the UK and are freely available to all.” With the BBC in Northern Ireland just having passed the one hundredth anniversary of it broadcasting from Belfast, this is a good time to reappraise the role of Public Service Broadcasting: how does PSB contribute to Northern Irish society? What challenges do the PSBs face, particularly in relation to funding? And what opportunities are there likely to be in the future, in the midst of a changing media system?
This panel was sponsored by the Centre for Communication, Media and Cultural Studies, in the School of Communication and Media at Ulster University.
