本文探讨了自相矛盾的要求，英国广播公司的公共服务广播（PSB）的职权范围，规定公正，公平和平衡的新闻报道，但也要求广播公司服务于特定的公民价值观被认为是英国社会的根本。由于这种公民价值观的结合在意识形态上并不是中立的，它提出了一个问题，即自由主义的意识形态假设如何在声称表现出应有的公正性的新闻中传播。如果将新闻报道所附的背景资料和分析的质量作为一个因素列入职权范围，而市场压力和其他实际制约因素则朝另一个方向推动，则问题就更加复杂。我们研究了这方面出现的紧张局势，并参考了两年多来（2006年11月至2008年10月）英国广播公司十点新闻对伊斯兰相关话题的报道。我们的分析结合了一个定量的频率，突出性和模式的主题选择整个数据集的案例研究报告的一个法律的审判所产生的抗议示威穆斯林在伦敦。最后的讨论反思了将BBC职权范围的不同方面应用于新闻制作实践所涉及的权衡。
This article examines the paradoxical requirements of the BBC's public service broadcasting (PSB) remit, which prescribes impartiality, fairness and balance in news reporting but also requires the broadcaster to serve specified civic values deemed fundamental to British society. Since this combination of civic values is not ideologically neutral, it raises the question of how liberal ideological assumptions are communicated in news items purporting to show due impartiality. The matter is further complicated when the quality of background information and analysis accompanying news stories is included as a factor within the remit, while market pressures and other practical constraints push in a different direction. We examine the tensions arising in this regard with reference to the reporting of Islam-related topics on the BBC's Ten O'Clock News over two years (November 2006 to October 2008). Our analysis combines a quantitative overview of frequency, salience and patterns of topic selection across the dataset as a whole with a case study of reports on one of the legal trials arising from a protest demonstration by Muslims in London. The concluding discussion reflects on the trade-offs involved in applying the different aspects of the BBC's remit to newsmaking practice.
