The BBC Just as the British Parliament has the reputation for being 'the mother of parliament', so the BBC might be said to be ' the mother of information services'. Its reputation for impartiality and objectivity in news reporting is, at least when compared to news broadcasting in many other countries, largely justified. Whenewer it is accused of bias by one political side, it can always point out that the other side has complained of the same thing at some other time - so the complaints are evenly balanced. In fact, the BBC is rather proud of the fact that it gets complaints from both sides of the political divide, because this testifies not only to its impartiality but also to its independence. Interestingly, thought this independence is as much the result of habit and common agreement as it is the result of its legal status. It is true that it depends neither on advertising not (directly) on the government fot its income. It gets this form the licence fee which everybody who uses a television set has to pay. However, the government decides how much this fee is going to be, appoints its board of governors and its director-general has the rigth to veto any BBC programme before it has been transmitted and even has the right to take away the BBC's licence to broadcast. In theory therefore it would be easy for a government to influence what the BBC does. Neverheless parrly by historical accident (High ideas and independence), the BBC began, right from the start, to establish its effective independence and its reputation for impartiality. This first occured through the medium of radio broadcasts to people in Britain. Then, in 1932 The BBC World Service was set up, with a lisence to broadcast first to the empire and then to other parts of the world. During the Second World War, it became indentified with the principles of democracy and free speach. In this way the BBC's fame became international. Today, the Wotld Service still broadcasts around the globe, in English and several other languages. The BBC also runs ten national radio stations inside Britain and several local ones (BBC Radio)
