BBC Governance: Is a New Settlement Possible?

The key players in the debate about the BBC Charter have now shown their hands. The public’s voice is being filtered through a range of public consultations by Parliament, by Government and by the BBC Trust. As part of the Media Policy Project’s BBC Charter Review series, LSE’s Damian Tambini looks at the issue of BBC governance, applying the framework outlined by Mariana Mazzucato which highlights the BBC’s role in innovating and standard-setting broadcasting. This goes beyond notions of market failure, to a consideration of the key governance issues currently under debate.
