BBC was the first national broadcasting organization of the world, which was established in 1922. Their activity overseas has brought high-quality, impartial and independent content – and the BBC’s editorial values – to the world for almost 80 years. Actually, early in 1920, John Reith, founder of BBC, had begun to advocate radio broadcast in UK. Two years later, this man, together with a group of radio manufactures formed a radio station named BBC. Then, they set a vision for themselves--bring the best of everything to the greatest number of homes.
On 1 Jan 1927, the BBC was awarded its Royal Charter. Under the Charter, the BBC obtained permission to charge a license fee from the relevant government minister (Secretary of state for culture, Media and Sport). It is a mandatory license fee levied on any household who owned a color television set, which has later become the main source of income for BBC and guarantees highly autonomous, editorial and Reporting Independence of the media giant. By the way, the total income of BBC is consist of 4 parts—license fee which possess 72%, business commercial 22%, government grant 5%, and others 1%. The total income of BBC in 2013 is over £ 5 billion.
In fact, the whole BBC was running under the discipline of its Royal Charter. The current Charter came into force in 2007 and runs until the end of 2016. It explicitly recognizes the BBC's editorial independence and sets out its public purposes. Under the Charter, the BBC is governed by the BBC Trust, which sets the strategic direction of the BBC and has a clear duty to represent the interests of license fee payers. Operational responsibility rests with the Executive Board. It is responsible for delivering the BBC's services and running the organization in accordance with the overall strategy set by the Trust. This the basic company structure of BBC. Under this structure, BBC generally provides five main services to the public which contains radio, TV, digital, publishing and

    TVW was originally founded by Szczerba and his wife Balinska with their financial adviser Claire Hurley. The founding idea of TVW stemmed from a growing media viewership and a rebounding Polish economy. Prior to the formation of TVW, the media market was dominated by government owned Public Television Poland (TVP). In 1993, the government enacted legislation which enabled the commercialization of the television and radio station markets. This was the opening for TVW in securing its stake in the newly independent media arena. However, in order to establish itself as a valid player in this market, TVW was required to secure a broadcasting license from the newly formed TV and Radio Council of Poland.…

    Moving on to the ‘BBC News’, despite having an independence from Ofcom the BBC have almost identical rules that must be followed. ‘The BBC News’ is probably one of the hardest programmes to keep within the rules, as its job is to get us the non-bias news, reporting on crime, offense, worldwide affairs, elections and lots more. ‘The BBC News’ has to be very careful with fairness, as stereotypes on the news can become an hegemonic belief if the viewers believe what’s being said, and through representation and editing feeling about different groups, genders, race and age are easy to create. An example of ‘The BBC News’ going against The BBC Trust’s fairness regulation was with…

    On the second day of June in the year 1953, the people of the UK were sitting in glued to their televisions watching the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)’s live broadcast of a young lady being crowned Queen. As grandiose as that sounds, BBC had to fight to get the coronation televised. All the personnel that worked for the Queen thought that the coronation should be private, like every other coronation in British history. Because of this thinking, BBC was at first denied to broadcast the service. Unfortunately, the news company was pretty salty about their decision. To get revenge on the pompous head honchos that roamed inside of where the Queen lived, they told the public what they did. Because of this people were very upset, and many journalists were pretty gruff in the newspapers. Pretty soon Queen Elizabeth discovered what was happening outside her palace, and overrode the Parliament’s decision to ban any broadcasting of the service. Because of this, she is the first person in the royal family history to have a televised coronation.…

    Until 1989, both print and broadcast media in Poland had been state controlled. Public Television Poland (TVP) was a bureaucratic monopoly with a reputation for delivering drab content while treating advertisers and programming suppliers poorly. In 1993, the Polish government finally enacted legislation to allow independent operators to own commercial television and radio stations for the first time. This legislation gave the TV and Radio Council the responsibility for governing existing state-owned television and radio stations and awarding new commercial licenses. The Polish government planned to award an undermined number of licenses throughout…

    Going by the knowledge that Prasar Bharati is basically and Indian version of the BBC, it is odd that one may find extreme differences between the functioning of the two bodies. While the BBC functions more or less like a privately owned News body, free from excessive government interference and influence, Prasar Bharati, on the other hand, reflects and image of being a puppet in the puppeteer hands of the Indian government. Both news bodies receive their raw material, facts and news tidbits from reliable sources, and both come under the government of their respective countries, hence one may wonder, why the difference?…
