摘要

当我们在100期特刊上为BBC发出征稿时,“世界上的BBC”是其中列出的关键主题之一。在评估提交的优秀摘要时,令人惊讶的是,其中大部分将BBC与其近邻的跨国关系作为主题,无论是地理上的欧洲,还是文化上的北美。这反映了关于BBC全球地位的学术研究的普遍优势,这些研究都是由西方作者撰写的,他们不可避免地会从一个特定的角度来探讨这个主题。尽管目前学术界正在努力使我们的思想、教学和研究去殖民化,但BBC的电视研究方法仍然被西方观点所主导。因此,对英国广播公司电视节目的研究存在重大差距。我们需要从西方以外的学者(和观众)的角度对BBC的工作进行更多的研究。下面的部分添加到对话中,并开始解决这个差距。它们是按照电视批评研究的传统写成的,简短而有力的“挑衅”呈现了一个观点或快照,能够比一篇完整的学术文章更灵活、更有反应。这两篇文章的作者被邀请就世界上任何与BBC有关的话题进行写作,但无论是否巧合,这两篇文章都对BBC新闻在全球背景下的运作进行了评估,以及尼日利亚和印度观众对BBC新闻的看法。英国广播公司作为全球新闻提供者的地位因其海外广播的历史而变得复杂,Marie Gillespie, AlbanWebb和Gerd Baumann将其描述为“鲜为人知,甚至不太了解”(2008:453)。世界广播成立于1932年,历史上曾被称为“帝国”和“海外”服务,现在在全球以42种语言播放广播内容。该服务由英国政府部分资助,在国家控制或监督的数量上存在历史差异,作为一种“软实力”运作,最好的情况下可以被视为“家长式”(Sambrook, 2022),最坏的情况下可以被视为宣传。BBC的全球电视新闻服务是作为一个商业机构而不是直接作为一项公共服务来运作的,但它保留了该机构与psb相关的高质量、公正的新闻服务的品牌价值。达亚·基尚·苏苏指出,尽管其目的是促进英国的利益,但这些服务

BBC television news in the world: An introduction
When we sent out a call for papers for the BBC at 100 special issues, ‘the BBC in the world’was one of the key themes listed therein. It was striking, on assessing the excellent abstracts that were submitted, that the bulk of these took as their subject matter the BBC’s transnational relationships with its near neighbours, either geographically in Europe, or culturally, in North America. This mirrors a general preponderance in the scholarship on the BBC’s global position, written by Western authors who inevitably approach the subject from a particular point of view. Despite the current efforts in the academy to decolonise our thinking, teaching and research, television studies approaches to the BBC remain dominated by Western perspectives. There is therefore a significant gap in studies of BBC television. We need more studies of the work of the BBC from the perspectives of scholars (and audiences) outside of theWest. The following pieces add to the conversation and begin to address this gap. They are written in the Critical Studies in Television tradition of short, punchy ‘provocations’ that present a viewpoint or snapshot, able to be produced more flexibly and responsively than a full academic article. The authors were invited to write on any topic related to the BBC in the world, but – coincidentally or not – both articles present an assessment of the operations of BBC News in global contexts, and the way these are perceived by audiences in Nigeria and India. The BBC’s position as a global provider of news is complicated by its history of broadcasting overseas, one that Marie Gillespie, AlbanWebb and Gerd Baumann describe as ‘little known and perhaps even less understood’ (2008: 453). The World Service, established in 1932 and variously named ‘Empire’ and ‘Overseas’ services during its history, now broadcasts radio content in 42 languages worldwide. Part-funded by the UK government, with historical variations in the amount of control or oversight of the state, the service operates as a form of ‘soft power’ and can be viewed as ‘paternalistic’ at best (Sambrook, 2022), propagandistic at worst. The BBC’s global television news provision operates as a commercial outfit rather than directly as a public service, but retains the institution’s PSB-associated brand values of high-quality, impartial news provision.

期刊介绍: Critical Studies in Television publishes articles that draw together divergent disciplines and different ways of thinking, to promote and advance television as a distinct academic discipline. It welcomes contributions on any aspect of television—production studies and institutional histories, audience and reception studies, theoretical approaches, conceptual paradigms and pedagogical questions. It continues to invite analyses of the compositional principles and aesthetics of texts, as well as contextual matters relating to both contemporary and past productions. CST also features book reviews, dossiers and debates. The journal is scholarly but accessible, dedicated to generating new knowledge and fostering a dynamic intellectual platform for television studies.
