Open Archive: The Miners' Strike: A case study in regional content.

这个项目的目的是允许调查英国广播公司如何通过开放档案使用其档案。具体来说，它将研究BBC如何处理其地区受众，以及如何优先考虑地区而不是国家新闻和历史议程，为这些受众提供可用于探索他们自己生活中重大事件记忆的材料。它还将研究档案保管员和广播公司如何处理敏感或有争议的材料所引起的道德问题，并探索如何将这些材料置于未来使用的背景下。该研究将以全国矿工罢工（1984-5）这一重大历史事件为基础，并将特别关注包括新闻、纪录片和戏剧性重建在内的各种材料如何代表这次罢工，以及如何在直接受罢工及其长期后果影响的社区中使用这些材料。显然，围绕这次罢工仍有很多敏感性，许多人觉得他们自己的观点只是部分地通过新闻和文献记录得到了体现，并且发现原始报道的某些方面很难与他们自己的经历等同起来。作为研究的一部分，我们将制作一份新闻、纪录片和戏剧性重建材料的汇编，供来自南约克郡采矿业和相关社区的观众使用，并根据他们自己的记忆和对这些材料的反应进行详细的问卷调查和焦点小组。这些材料将构成最终报告的基础，并为BBC准备政策建议。我们将询问与会者对一系列问题的看法。通过这项研究，我们将能够理解一些问题，并通过最终报告，向BBC和其他感兴趣的利益相关者提出我们的发现、结论和政策建议。该项目将由利兹大学传播研究所和英国广播公司北部信息与档案研究中心共同开展。它将在9个月的时间内进行，并以最终报告和研讨会结束。该项目分五个阶段进行，概述如下：联合任命两名研究助理，任期分别为三个月和六个月。2. 识别，选择和数字化的新闻，纪录片和戏剧镜头从相关的BBC和地区电影和电视档案。这将产生一系列的材料汇编，供在有限的筛选情况下和在焦点小组内使用。3. 焦点小组问卷和受众调查材料的设计。4. 在区域社区内提供受控焦点小组。通讯研究所的研究和未来政策报告的撰写、编辑和交付，然后将其提交指导委员会批准。

This project is designed to allow the investigation of how the BBC might use its archive holdings via the Open Archive. Specifically it will study how the BBC deals with its regional audiences and how regional rather than national news and historical agendas might be prioritised to provide these audiences with material that can be used to explore memories of significant events in their own lives. It will also study how archivists and broadcasters deal with ethical issues raised by sensitive or contentious material and explore ways in which these materials need to be contextualised for future use. The study will be based on the major historical event of the National Miners' Strike (1984-5) and will focus specifically on how various categories of material, including news, documentary and dramatic reconstruction have represented this strike and how it might be used within communities directly affected by it and its long-term consequences. There is obviously still much sensitivity surrounding the strike and many people feel that their own perspectives have only been partially represented through news ands documentary records and find aspects of the original coveragedifficult to equate with their own experiences. As part of the study we will be producing a compilation of news, documentary and dramatic reconstruction materials to use with audiences drawn from mining and associated communities in South Yorkshire and conducting detailed questionnaires and focus groups based on their own memories and responses to this material. This material will then form the basis of the final report and the preparation of policy advice for the BBC. We will be asking participants their views on a range of issues.Through this study we will be able to understand a number of issues and present, through a final report, our findings, conclusions and policy recommendations to the BBC and other interested stakeholders.The project will be conducted by the Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds and BBC Research Centre North- Information & Archives. It will take place over a nine month period ending with a final report and symposium. The project takes place in five phases outlined below:1. The joint appointment of two research assistants for a total period of three and six months respectively. 2. The identification, selection and digitisation of news, documentary and drama footage from relevant BBC and Regional Film and Television Archives. This will result in a series of compilations of material to be used in restricted screening contexts and within focus groups. 3. The design of focus group questionnaires and audience survey materials. 4. The delivery of controlled focus groups within regional communities. 5 The writing, editing and delivery of the research and future policy report by the Institute of Communications Studies which will then be passed to the steering committee for approval.
