Ferrell Lowe, M. Gregory and Christian S. Nissen (Eds.). Small Among Giants: Television Broadcasting in Smaller Countries

摘要

This book results from a conference organized by the BBC in September 2007. In consequence, the chapters come from a variety of broadcasters, policy makers, and researchers from the United Kingdom and elsewhere who attended the Repositioning Public Service Broadcasting: The BBC Charter Renewal and its Global Aftermath conference. In their preface, Lowe and Nissen note that the BBC has been the organization to whom other broadcasters turn when considering the design of regulation or industry structure. They underline that it has long been the case that, with no query, big countries and markets are turned to by smaller ones when they are looking for models, perhaps particularly public service broadcasting ones, for their own country.
