Independent Scotland; 大象传媒 North; Young Journalist Award
Steve Hewlett speaks to the Scottish Minister for Culture about broadcasting in an independent Scotland. Plus the director of 大象传媒 North on how the move has shaped content.
In this week's Media Show from Salford, Steve speaks to the Scottish minister for culture Fiona Hyslop on her vision for broadcasting in an independent Scotland. It's been suggested that Scotland would have its own public service broadcaster based on the existing staff and assets of 大象传媒 Scotland, should it gain independence, so could this work? And Steve questions how the government could ensure people could get access to popular programmes, like Eastenders, should the 大象传媒 cease to exist in the country.
It's been 18 months since the controversial 大象传媒 move to Salford was completed. A wide range of programmes including Match of the Day, Blue Peter, and 大象传媒 Sport are now produced there. However, questions have been raised about the cost of the move and the scale of the allowances paid to some staff to relocate. Steve talks to Peter Salmon, Director of 大象传媒 North, about whether the move has met it's key objectives to better serve audiences in the north, and improve the quality of content.
And a young journalist from the developing world will be announced as the winner of a new award being sponsored by the Thomson Foundation. The finalists are all under 30, working in countries with a GDP per capital of less than $20,000. They are Judy Kosgei, a former childrens radio presenter from Kenya; investigative journalist Neha Dixit from India, and award-winning science writer Toyosi Ogunseye from Nigeria. Steve speaks to the winner about how the award will better their career in journalism.
Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
