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.'

Mair also discusses the negative effects of alcohol on physical and mental health and argues that total abstinence is the best way to avoid these negative consequences. The book is a comprehensive examination of the topic and provides readers with a thorough understanding of the arguments for total abstinence from alcohol.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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.

Celebrating one of Oxford's most distinctive areas, previously a slum of workers' cottages, plenty of pubs, & even some brothels, today it is vibrant and developing. Jericho became the cradle of the Pre-Raphaelites, the source of the very first copies of Alice in Wonderland, the catalyst for Inspector Morse, a nursery of the Oxford music scene.

Social media has revolutionised journalism and wider society, for good and bad. Journalists have powerful tools - but are watching the collapse of a newspaper industry failing to compete with social media platforms. Individuals can make their contribution to the global conversation, but at the price of vicious and intimidatory trolling which threatens freedom of expression. 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.

Recent years have been pretty dire for the BBC. The Jimmy Savile revelations, the Newsnight/Lord McAlpine debacle, the ignominious fall from grace of Director-General George Entwistle after just 54 days in the hot seat and the scandal of the top executives' pay-offs have all seriously damaged public trust in the Corporation. But as the BBC heads for negotiations on the new licence fee and charter renewal (both due in 2017) and the country prepares for a general election in 2015, the issues confronting the Corporation concern us all. Is the BBC in Crisis? is edited by Professor Richard Tait, former Editor-in-Chief of ITN and BBC Trustee, with academics John Mair and Professor Richard Lance Keeble. It brings together an unprecedented galaxy of movers and shakers (past and present) in British broadcasting - top politicians, experienced broadcasters, academics, PR experts, opinion pollsters and media campaigners - to debate the controversies and offer solutions: Michael Grade (Lord Grade of Yarmouth), former Chairman of both the BBC and ITV, former BBC Director of Television and Chief Executive of Channel 4, contributes an Introduction in which he makes a radical proposal for the future structure of the Corporation. In addition: ¿ Andrew Scadding, BBC Head of Corporate Affairs, on why, despite some tough times, the BBC's best years lie ahead of it. ¿ Sir Peter Bazalgette, Chair of Arts Council England, on the BBC's cultural mission. ¿ David Liddiment, BBC Trustee 2006-2014, former Network Controller ITV 1997-2002, on a revitalised governance system. ¿ Sir Howard Davies, Director of the LSE 2003-2011, on the 'need for clarity at the Corporation'. ¿ David Elstein, Chief Executive of Channel 5 1996-2000, on the licence fee. ¿ Tim Suter, Head of Broadcasting Policy DCMS 2002-2003, on 'A crisis of independence'. ¿ Vin Ray, 23 years with BBC and founding Director of the College of Journalism, on 'Thirteen days in the life of Newsnight'. ¿ Alice Enders, Senior Media Analyst at Enders Analysis, on 'What Britons think of the BBC'. ¿ Peter Preston, media columnist, the Observer, Editor, the Guardian 1975-95, on 'hard thinking ahead for the BBC'.

The Phone Hacking Scandal: Journalism on Trial Hackgate is the biggest scandal to engulf the mainstream press in decades. What started as a small bush fire News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman and his private detective friend Glenn 'Trigger' Mulcaire being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure in 2007 for hacking illegally into the phones of the royal family and others - has become a forest fire destroying countless reputations (and the NoW itself) in its wake. The few hacked by NI in 2007 became nearly 6,000 in late 2011. Hackgate has also thrown the spotlight on the somewhat excessively close ties between the press, police and political elite - and raised countless questions about media standards and regulation. As Lord Leveson continues his inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press, The Phone Hacking Scandal: Journalism On Trial (edited by Richard Lance Keeble and John Mair) brings together an extraordinary range of academics, journalists and media activists to provide bang-up-to-date, informed and lively commentary on the controversy: ¿ Brian Cathcart on 'The Press, the Leveson Inquiry and the Hacked Off Campaign' ¿ Glenda Cooper on 'Facing up to the Ethical Issues surrounding Facebook Use' ¿ Jackie Newton and Sallyann Duncan on 'Exploring the Ethics of Death Reporting in the Social Media Age' ¿ Richard Peppiatt on 'The Story Factory: Infotainment and the Tabloid Newsroom' ¿ Alan Rusbridger on how Hackgate 'reveals failure of normal checks and balances to hold power to account' ¿ John Tulloch on 'Oiling a Very Special Relationship: Journalists, Bribery and the Detective Police' Other contributors include Chris Atkins, Steven Barnett, Patrick Barrow, Teodora Beleaga, Daniel Bennett, Damian Paul Carney, the Co-ordinating Committee for Media Reform, Tim Crook, Sean Dodson, Chris Frost, Ivor Gaber , Tony Harcup, Phil Harding, Huw L. Hopkins, Mike Jempson, Nicholas Jones, John Lloyd, Tim Luckhurst, Kevin Marsh, Ben McConville, Eamonn O'Neill, Wayne Powell, Stewart Purvis, Justin Schlosberg, Kate Smith, Judith Townend and Barry Turner.
