Third, all advertising-financed television is under the jurisdiction of the Independent Television Commission (known in previous incarnations as the Independent Broadcasting Authority and the Independent Television Authority).
In these conditions, British television resembles a large ocean-liner, fashioned by a master ship-builder and serving many classes of passengers in a host of compartments, which is sailing through ever stormier seas that may--or may not--tear it apart!
In this period, all British broadcasters have had to adjust to a new and less supportive political mood--one that regards television more as an industry than a cultural agency and its institutions as badly in need of a shake-up.

 Swallow, Norman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Norman Swallow's career in British broadcasting, from his joining the BBC in 1946 through to his continuing involvement in independent production today, is that of a major pioneer of the British television documentary and, more broadly, a significant contributor to public service television.
After moving to television, Swallow was a producer of the General Election broadcast of 1951, which marked a decisive shift in television's treatment of elections, quickly to develop their own distinctive form of extended national coverage and commentary.
The series ran from 1952 to 1957 and was undoubtedly one of the most important innovations in television journalism of the period, acting as an influence upon a whole range of later work.

We had contacted the Cabinet Office and the Home Office and explained that we were producing a rather unusual Panorama, designed to assess the state of preparedness for a terrorist attack.
We said that a fictional terrorist attack warranted "thinking out of the box" and that it would be a good thing to examine the civil contingency efforts of government since the shocking events of 9/11.

 British Journalism Review Vol. 11, No. 4, 2000 - Panorama and the Omagh Atrocity
He said that because anonymity had been granted to some British soldiers during Lord Saville’s current inquiry into the events of “Bloody Sunday “ when 13 civil rights demonstrators were shot dead, Real IRA bomb suspects shouldn’t be named either.
In the Commission’s view, pretty well everyone’s rights were about to breached: the relatives’ right to see a prosecution, the rights of the police to pursue their investigation, the rights of the suspects to a fair trial, privacy and a family life, and to protection from what they referred to as “trial by media”.
In the face of the clear threat of libel proceedings and all the handicaps that confront defendants in the Irish courts, the BBC’s decision to transmit “Who bombed Omagh?”; was a courageous one, and is a measure of just how much we believed it was in the public interest.
