The BBC’s news service in Turkish, BBC Turkçe, marks its 70 years of
broadcasting on Friday 20 November with a special event looking at the future
of news. A multimedia co-production with the BBC’s partner in Turkey, NTV,
Future of News is a televised debate co-presented by the BBC’s David Eades and
NTV’s Banu Güven.
The panel discussion with invited audience debates the effect on news of
various global challenges, from new technologies to economic pressures. The
BBC-NTV debate also questions whether there is a contradiction between the
increasing power of the individual to use the internet for self-expression on
the one hand, and the state’s instinct to put this freedom under control on the
other.
Recorded on Monday 16 November at an NTV studio in Istanbul, the televised
debate also runs across the BBC Turkçe and NTV radio and online outputs. It
will also be available via the YouTube channel where BBC Turkçe is launching
its content in time for the anniversary (YouTube.com/bbcturkce). Audiences are
invited to text, email or ‘twitter’ their questions and comments to BBC Turkçe
and NTV.
Panellists include:
* Steve Herrmann, Editor, BBC News website
* John Owen, Professor of International Journalism and Media Consultant
* Stewart Purvis, Partner, Content and Standards, Ofcom, the regulator for
the UK communications industries;
* Sadeq Saba, Head, BBC Persian
* Haluk Şahin, Columnist, Broadcaster and Lecturer
* Ahmet Yeşıltepe, Editor-in-Chief, ntvmsnbc.com
Hüseyin Sükan, Head of BBC Turkçe, says: “When the BBC began broadcasting in
Turkish 70 years ago, the future of news seemed clear. But is it now? As we
engage the panel and the audience in a conversation about the future of news,
we ask if the traditional media will survive or if, to do so, they need to
transform; if reputations will still matter in the emerging media markets or if
chances to success are more or less the same for anyone. We also ask if
regulators can shut off ‘unwanted’ new-media information flow - or if this
information will find its way through all kinds of barriers. It’s going to be
an interesting discussion, and we are looking forward to engaging with our
audience, whichever platform they are using to connect with us.”
