This timely book is a collection of essays from practitioners, academics, commentators on the future funding of Britain's national broadcaster-the BBC.The future financing of Britain's national broadcaster - the BBC - is not just a question of finance but also of our country's culture and politics.The BBC is a great British institution. How will it be financed after the current Royal Charter runs out at the end of 2027?Could the 80-year-old TV licence fee be up for the chop? Will it be replaced by some form of subscription, advertising, broadband levy, household or income taxes or some hybrid version of those?These are questions for all of us to consider and this new book sets out some ideas and possible solutions for debate.The enemies of the BBC are at the gate more than ever. Commercial right-wing newspapers and outlier TV 'stations', some of the Chatterati, and organisations such as #defund the BBC are rampant. Some would like to see the BBC not just tamed but emasculated and cut down to the size of PBS in the USA.The argument is being had in the shadows. There is a government review taking place with little publicity. This collection of essays brings the debate into the open.The 25 contributors to this book bring a wide range of views to the debate. The writers include a former BBC Director General, media entrepreneurs and executives, national newspaper journalists, and leading academics.The Preface is by Sir Peter Bazalgette, former chair of ITV, and the Afterword is from distinguished historian Sir Anthony Seldon.Book editor John Mair says, 'Can we afford to lose the BBC? Will Britain be a different place if we do? Just how do we keep this national treasure alive? This is a debate for all of us to have.'

In this the fifth Bite-Sized Brexit Book, a wide range of authors, from across the United Kingdom, assess the impact of Brexit on UK farming - and come to different, sometimes contradictory, conclusions, all of which are challenging, thought-provoking and well-argued.As the Introduction says: "It is hard to imagine a farm policy more idiotic than the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Since 2005, the EU has paid out 64bn a year of taxpayers' money to farmers for doing nothing more than occupy their land. To receive this money from the CAP's 'Basic Payment Scheme', farmland 'occupiers' have not been required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or other forms of farm pollution, reverse the decline of flora and fauna on their land, or even produce food."So why is there such intense anxiety in the UK, reflected in the apocalyptic title of this book, about what the repatriation of UK farm policy post-Brexit might lead to? Could a UK-devised policy possibly be any worse than the current CAP?"The author of the introduction, Bio-Waste Spreader (Stephen Carr) of "Private Eye", brings into play the conflicting arguments, resolutions and ideas that are explored in this really vital contribution to the whole Brexit debate.

Social media has transformed political campaigning but its recent misuse in the UK and US undermines democracy. This book recognises the good and looks at ways to minimise the bad, with contributions from leading experts in journalism, politics and digital media, as well as the latest academic research.Contributors Professor Leighton Andrews, Paul Armstrong, Professor Patrick Barwise, Sir Peter Bazalgette, Amy Binns, Vincent Campbell, Baroness Shami Chakrabati, Jim Chisholm, Alex Connock, Paul Connew, Alex DeGroote, Sean Dodson, Torin Douglas, Bill Dunlop, Dipsy Edmunds, Professor Chris Frost, Professor Christian Fuchs, Professor Ivor Gaber, Alan Geere, Tom George, Faith Gordon, Christopher Graham, Phil Harding, Professor Jeff Jarvis, Gina Miller, Denis Muller, Agnes Nairn, Professor John Naughton, David Nolan, Michelle O'Reilly, John Price, Paul Reilly, Greg Rowett, Alan Rusbridger, Professor Richard Sambrook, Kostas Saltzis, Professor Michael Schrage, Prosper Tatendra, Mark Thompson and Claire Wolfe.Editors John Mair has been the lead editor of all 25 Abramis 'hackademic' texts.
