Galw am Bapurau.

 

Yn 2005 fe fydd 20 mlynedd wedi mynd heibio ers sefydlu Pwyllgor Cyllido’r BBC, dan gadeiryddiaeth Syr Alan Peacock. Bu llawer o’r farn bod adroddiad y Pwyllgor ymhlith y dogfennau mwyaf dylanwadol yn hanes cyfathrebu ers y rhyfel. Bydd y gynhadledd yn canolbwyntio ar wreiddiau, gweithredu ac effeithiau Adroddiad Peacock, ac fe fydd o ddiddordeb i fyfyrwyr hanes a pholisi gwleidyddiaeth a’r cyfryngau cyfoes.

 

Hyd yn hyn, mae’r siaradwyr a’r cyfranwyr yn cynnwys:

Syr Alan Peacock, Samuel Brittan, David Graham, yr Arglwydd Brian Griffiths, Jeremy Hardie, yr Athro Peter Jay, Syr Quentin Thomas.

 

Mae’r trefnwyr yn gwahodd crynodebau ar wreiddiau, gweithredu ac effeithiau’r Pwyllgor; gall y meysydd hyn gynnwys: gwreiddiau deallusol y Pwyllgor; gwreiddiau gwleidyddol y Pwyllgor; y dadlau cyhoeddus a beirniadol ynghylch y Pwyllgor; ymateb y darlledwyr; gwaith y Pwyllgor; ymateb y llywodraeth i’r adroddiad; etifeddiaeth ddeallusol yr adroddiad; y rhan y mae’r adroddiad wedi ei chwarae wrth ddatblygu polisi cyfathrebu yng ngwledydd Prydain.

 

Ni ddylai’r crynodebau fod yn hwy na 700 o eiriau, gan gynnwys cyfeiriadau a manylion sefydliadau cysylltiadol.
