Public Media in the UK: Digital Media Challenge the "Voice of God"

Media Business Matters Podcast - Amanda D. Lotz

Alex and Amanda host John Shields, a BBC Editor, visiting as a Knight Wallace Fellow here at the University of Michigan’s Wallace House. We talk about the challenges and opportunities digitization has brought a public media institution with scope and history of the BBC as well as his project exploring the loss of public trust in broadcast media.

John Shields has spent 14 years working for the BBC as Commissioning Editor for “Today” at BBC Radio 4, at the BBC’s Washington and Jerusalem bureaus, and has worked on co-productions with American Public Media’s “Marketplace.”
