The Jocelyn Hay VLV Lecture was established to reflect the huge contribution
that Jocelyn, our founder, made to public broadcasting and civic debate over
thirty years. We are delighted that the BBCıs official historian, Professor
Jean Seaton, has agreed to give the second lecture in the series. Having
just published the latest volume of the BBCıs history for 1974-1987, Jean
has gained a unique insight into the Corporationıs workings during that
crucial period and the lessons and parallels for todayıs BBC. VLV Patron
Will Wyatt, the former Chief Executive of BBC Broadcast, was a rising
executive throughout this time and is uniquely placed to chair the lecture.
Jean Seaton is Professor of Media History at the University of Westminster
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Westminster> and the official
historian of the BBC <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC> . She is the
Director of the Orwell Prize <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell_Prize>
and on the editorial board of Political Quarterly
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_Quarterly> . She has written widely
on broadcasting history and the politics of the media, especially on the
BBC, as well as on news, they ways in which wars are covered, and children
and the media.
