Mark Thompson makes an academic case for protecting "public space" in the UK broadcasting landscape. No clues, yet, as to how big the BBC part of that space will be when the various internal reviews report...
"But I can tell you that I expect to see on the BBC a further shift in emphasis in favour of investment in high quality, original British content in those areas which are least likely to be provided by the market: the best journalism in the world, we hope, available to the public here and around the world free at the point of use; a long-term commitment to outstanding content for children; a bolder strategy for programmes which build knowledge about the arts and sciences; a determination to open up the BBC’s archive and make it as widely available as possible".
