	John Reith, 1st Baron Reith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born at Stonehaven in Scotland, Reith was the youngest, by ten years, of the seven children of the Revd Dr George Reith, a minister of the Free Church of Scotland.
		Reith was an indolent child who had used his intelligence to escape hard work but he was genuinely disappointed when his father refused to support any further education and apprenticed him an engineer at the North British Locomotive Company.
		Reith oversaw the vesting of the company in a new organisation, the BBC, formed under royal charter and became its first Director-General from January 1, 1927 to June 30, 1938.

	Reith of the BBC - The Churchill Centre
		John Reith, an unusually tall Scot who was head of the British Broadcasting Corporation, relished the power he had to exclude Churchill from Broadcasting House in London.
		Reith was endowed with many talents but lacked genius; he never forgave himself for that, and irrationally developed the hideous habit of blaming his inner deficiency on those who held any office higher than his own.
		Reith preened himself on what he considered to be radio’s part in warding off downright panic, but had to concede that the independence of the growing network had been dented by the government’s backstage control.

	Reith, John C.W.
		Reith was born the fifth son of a Scottish minister and trained in Glasgow as an engineer.
		Reith felt increasingly under-utilized at the BBC by the late 1930s--the system he had built and the key people he had selected were all doing their jobs well and the system hummed relatively smoothly.
		In a mid-1938 managerial coup, however, Reith was eased out as director general by the BBC's Board of Governors (acting in consort with the government) which had grown weary with his self-righteous inflexibility within the organization as well as his political stance.

	EuropaWorld 12/1/2001 John Reith - Lord Reith of Stonehaven
		Nonetheless, despite a complete lack of formal training, and a dogged and autocratic personality, it was John Reith who is generally acknowledged to have defined the character, ethos and ambition of this institution more than any other person in its history.
		John Reith was born in 1889 and graduated as an engineer from Glasgow Technical College, starting his career as a locomotive fitter.
		In this position Reith was adamant that the BBC should become a national broadcaster, allowing news and events that had previously been accessible only to a minority of people, to become an everyday part of British life.

		She was especially pleased when eight-month-old John reached out a hand to an orphanage attendant who smiled in response; the gesture showed that even the abandoned children of a poverty-stricken land were being raised with love.
		John was born with the name of Yakov to a single mother in her late 20s who already had a six-year-old by another man. The woman wasn't working and also had the responsibility of caring for her blind, pensioneered grandfather.
		After her first meeting with John, Reith was required to return to Russia a second time as part of the process of being sure about the adoption.

		As Groombridge (1996: 356) has noted, those responsible for laying the foundations for broadcasting in the UK were influenced by ‘the positive attitudes to social renewal and democracy that inspired the ‘1919 Report’.
		In particular, John Reith’s emphasis on the educational role of the BBC (he was the first general manager in 1922 and then the director general between 1927 and 1938) bore considerable fruits.
		As Reith foresaw, public service broadcasting can provide access, free at the point of use, to some of the finest scholars of the age, to historical archive, to landscapes beyond reach, to experiments too dangerous or expensive to perform locally.

	To what extent was the BBC in the 1920's the personal creation of John Reith?
		It could be argued that by denying the Prime Minister the right to communicate with the masses, Reith was contradicting his statement about the objectivity of the BBC, as Churchill should have had the right to express his point of view which could then be balanced out by the BBC's opinion.
		Reith's insistance on the broadcasting of programmes to educate and inform the masses can be viewed as being contradictory to their function.
		Reith has often been accused of being elitist in his approach to programming policy.
