Inside the BBC and CNN provides an inside account of the BBC and CNN - two of the world's best-known media organisations, during a period of great change and new challenges.
"Inside the BBC and CNN" provides a unique insight into two of the world's best-known media organizations, during a period of great change and new challenges. Drawing on intensive research carried out among senior managers in both organizations, the study explores the beliefs and attitudes that shape management priorities and broadcasting policy. It also examines how each organization's distinct cultural beliefs - about broadcasting's fundamental purpose, about the nature of competition, and about the relationship between competition and quality - have laid the foundations for their current and past success, but may now threaten to limit their ability to respond to the unprecedented changes underway in the world's media landscape.
'This is an exceptionally clear and compact book about the world of media management ... an insightful read, strongly recommended to media managers and policymakers, and anyone working in an organization outside or only loosely connected with the media's unique "cultural loop."' - Telecommunications Policy
