The Peacock Committee and UK Broadcasting Policy
Edited by Thomas O'Malley and Janet Jones
At a time when a radical reorientation of UK broadcasting policy is
underway, this book offers a
critical assessment of the current state of Public Service Broadcasting.
Sir Alan Peacock's seminal
1986 report into the financing of PSB has been credited with reshaping
the broadcasting policy
landscape and changing the way we think about the provision of broadcast
goods in our society -
Ofcom has been dubbed the 'child of Peacock'. This volume looks at the
origins, conduct and
impact of the report and offers scenarios for the future of broadcasting
in a digital media ecology.
It will introduce readers to thinking from the report's principal
authors, Sir Alan Peacock, Sir
Samuel Brittan and Peter Jay, alongside leading media historians.
