This New Noise

What does the BBC mean to us now? What are the threats to its continued existence? Is it worth fighting for? This book traces its origins, celebrating the early pioneering spirit and unearthing forgotten characters whose imprint can still be seen on the BBC. It explores how it forged ideas of Britishness both at home and abroad.

Charlotte Higgins, principala scriitoare culturala a The Guardian, paseste in spatele usilor lustruite ale Broadcasting House si investigheaza BBC. Pentru care merita sa lupti? Higgins isi urmareste originile, celebrand spiritul de pionierat timpuriu si descoperind personaje uitate a caror amprenta poate fi vazuta si astazi pe BBC.
