Description
Inside the BBC and CNN provides a unique insight into two of the world's best-known media organisations during a period of great change. Drawing on intensive research among senior managers, this study explores the beliefs and attitudes that shape management priorities and broadcasting policy. The BBC and CNN have distinct cultural beliefs about broadcasting's fundamental purpose, competition, and quality, which have shaped their success but may now threaten to limit their ability to respond to the unprecedented changes in the media landscape. This book examines how these cultural differences impact their current and past success, and what implications this has for their future. By understanding the underlying drivers of management priorities and broadcasting policy, readers can gain valuable insights into the challenges facing these two major media organisations.
