The Influence of Media on Modern Culture
Following the recent controversy around channels 4s Big Quiz featuring Richard Ayoade, Russell Howard, Jonathan Ross, Jimmy Carr, Jack Whitehall, James Cordon and Gaby Logan. Which received 165 complaints, which included 85 for inappropriate sexual jokes. The targets of these jokes were; the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, sprinter Usain Bolt, Barack Obama and singer Miss Boyle.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2256352/Jack-Whitehall-dropped-presenter-TV-awards-Channel-4-repeats-vile-quiz.html This is the latest in a series of media broadcasts which has enraged the public, previously Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand caused outrage when they left lewd messages on Andrew Sachs personal phone like, concerning a relative of his. This particular running joke was broadcast live during their joint radio programme and caused much furore with the general public who instigated many complaints, which left to both presented being fired from their posts.
These situations are in marked contrast to what would have been expectable in the early days of broadcasting. It is interesting that whilst the individual presenter concerned have either been sacked or asked to stand down from their roles, the producers who must have been present each time, allowed and agreed to route the conversations were going. The more informal approach to broadcasting and the controversial nature of the content of programmes which no doubt helps to increase viewing numbers is indicative of the change of overall culture in the UK as to what is acceptable and what is not.
In a survey conducted by The Independent Newspaper, 94% of their readers did not feel that The Big Quiz comments were inappropriate. This could be because their readership is made up of younger and more outspoken people, who were not offended by the comments.
The board casting standard council issue a set of guidelines, called The Code of Guidance, which broad casters are supposed to adhere to; however these are only guideline and not a statutory requirement. In comparison the guidelines for board casting in the 1950s were very strict. Presenters had to wear smart formal dress, were mostly male and spoke in Queens English. During the broad cast of the Queen’s Coronation Richard Dimbleby was regarded as a fine example of a presenter at the time. This contrasts greatly with the views and comments surrounding the BBC’s broad cast around the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 where several presenters were criticised for their very informal manner and comments.
"Nobody knew anything and nobody cared. The main presenter couldn't even work out what to call the Queen." (Michael Beurk , January 2013).
