	Wharton Alumni Magazine, Spring 2001 - Wharton Now: Learning the Many Sides of Broadcasting at BBC Radio 4
		Boaden joined the BBC in 1983 as a news producer.
		In her current leadership role, Boaden promised a reintroduction of the Childre's Listening Hour on Radio 4 as one of her first goals.
		For Boaden, "career and life do not live on separate planets." But she and husband Stephen Burley, a newspaper journalist for London's The Evening Standard, still know how to jump off the fast track of the news business.

		But do not be beguiled by Helen Boaden's touchy-feely exterior, for it is a general rule that heads of big broadcast news organisations do not generally get where they are today by being touchy-feely all of the time.
		Boaden was stung by the criticism, which she felt was unfair.
		Boaden says her vision is supported by News 24 viewers, who are turning to the channel in greater numbers than Sky - mostly because of the success of Freeview and the older, more conservative audience this brings.

		Boaden's choice of Fi Glover to replace Eddie Mair as presenter of Broadcasting House was astute, as was her decision to move Mair to PM.
		Boaden recently told an audience at the London School of Economics that Radio 4 has reconnected itself with "the rock'n'roll generation." She certainly used her pounds 90m programme budget to make it less stuffy.
		Helen Boaden's record-breaking audience of 10 million listeners in 2003 was largely based on coverage of the Gulf War.

		Boaden replied, contesting Black's account of what happened at the meeting in Bolton and his criticisms of the staff working on the programme.
		In her letter, Boaden also challenged some of the reporting of events: "The hecklers were not ‘clearly hostile to the Conservative Party' and The Sunday Telegraph quotes ‘Michael Howard is a liar', ‘You can't trust the Tories' and ‘You can only trust Tony Blair' are simply untrue.
		Despite the amusing tone of The Hecklers, Boaden said it had a serious purpose and was appropriate for a BBC 3 audience who "generally turn away from politics".

	Independent, The (London): THE INTERVIEW HELEN BOADEN: From Little Britain to Big News
		Boaden is quick to shrug off criticism about the BBC losing out to the ITV news special, and her decision to stay on in Yorkshire with her newspaper journalist husband after the story broke rather than hurry back to London.
		Boaden is reluctant to crow about viewing figures amid such a human tragedy, but says that the numbers show that audiences are on the side of the BBC.
		Crucially, Boaden recognised that the average age of a Radio 4 listener, 54, meant that they were part of the Baby Boomer generation - the first to integrate high culture and pop culture effortlessly into their lives - and commissioned accordingly.

	Guardian \| First female news chief joins top table
		Helen Boaden's appointment as the first female director of BBC News immediately catapults the Radio 4 controller into the top tier of management at the corporation from which the next director general is likely to be drawn.
		On hearing the news of Ms Boaden's promotion, one former BBC colleague commented that the move could make her a serious contender for the director generalship next time round, probably in five years' time.
		But the promotion can be seen as recognition of Ms Boaden's successful four-year reign at Radio 4, during which she put the station back on an even keel after a turbulent period under James Boyle.

		There was the usual sparring about how transparent the BBC is actually willing to be about what it wants and who it is dealing with, with usual conclusions (very slightly more than one believes but not as much as one would like).

		Helen Boaden has hit back at accusations that the BBC used the takeover of Manchester United by the American tycoon, Malcolm Glazer, as the “perfect platform” to peddle “its anti-free market ideology”.
		She said she “strenuously” denied such partisanship at the BBC and said the David Kelly affair was proof of the BBC’s “search for truth in the face of concerted political pressure and threats — no matter the colour of the government”.
		But Ms Boaden retorted: “The majority of the UK believes the BBC to be impartial and the BBC to be the most impartial broadcaster in Britain (and increasingly across America and the rest of the world).

	BBC condemns reporters turning into "heroes" :: Freelance UK
		Helen Boaden, Director of News at the BBC, has defended the corporation’s coverage of the Asian tsunami disaster and accused rivals to the story of trying to make "heroes" out of their reporters.
		According to Boaden, the only failing in her news department was not using two journalists enough - namely Andrew Harding and Rachel Harvey, who she believes did "exceptionally good" in breaking news stories.
		Ratings for BBC News over the Christmas period is one test that she said proved the BBC had been a success in its coverage, but was not something she was willing to brag about because of the human tragedy surrounding the disaster.

		We are grateful to both Helen Boaden and James Robbins for such a gracious response.
		We suspect Boaden believes the election will be democratic simply because "we" are organising it - the British and American governments (currently packed with war criminals evading justice) are fundamentally well-intentioned and can therefore be taken at their word.
		Doubtless Boaden thinks she is being 'reasonable' and 'positive', as opposed to 'cynical', in thinking the best of our leaders doing a difficult job against violent insurgents.

		It has now been a year since Helen Boaden was plunged in at the deep end when she became the new BBC director of news.
		Money tripped up the BBC that time when Ms Boaden decided "there was no way on earth" she could justify spending £60,000 of licence fee income to acquire the pictures.
		Ms Boaden is hoping that most of the 420 job losses she has announced will come from volunteers but accepts there may have to be some compulsory redundancies.

		Clearly, in general, the BBC are not averse to using such methods as on their evening news programme of 28 February hidden cameras were in action filming the showroom of a Bangkok antiquities dealer.
		When approached, Ms Boaden defended her decision by saying that the material was not incriminating and that there was no evidence of disreputable activity.
		Ms Boaden might think the contents were not incriminating, but the Italian Carabinieri might take a different view, particularly as one dealer apparently admitted to selling antiquities that had still been in Italy two years ago.
