Dear all
I am delighted to announce that tickets are now available for one of two Radio Studies Network-supported events planned for this November, to mark the half-centenary of BBC Local Radio.
Join us in London for a one-day symposium to mark the 50th Anniversary of the launch of BBC Local Radio, presented by the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) at the University of Westminster with support from the MeCCSA Radio Studies Network.
The symposium includes panel discussions and papers, covering a range of subjects including:
News provision and journalism on local radio
Ethnic minority and specialist programmes
Sports coverage
The relationship between BBC, commercial local radio and community radio
Local Radio and the Nations
Interacting with audiences.
There’s also a panel chaired by Trevor Dann, discussing the legacy of local radio from the perspective of those who have worked on it, including the former Head of Local Radio Training, Robert McLeish.
Tickets are available from the eventbrite website. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bbc-local-radio-50th-anniversary-symposium-tickets-33701138011
We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a fascinating day; reflecting on the last 50 years, assessing the current situation and looking ahead to the future.
Best wishes
Jo
