Presented by Georgina Born, Cambridge University who is visiting  
Australia with support from the ARC Cultural Research Network. In  
this lecture Georgina Born will outline the history of the BBC and  
discuss how it will fare in the future, given unending crusades by  
its commercial and political antagonists against its existence, and  
the rising stakes for Britain's pluralist democracy in an era of  
continuing media expansion.

 From September 2006 Georgina Born will be Professor of Sociology,  
Anthropology and Music in the Faculty of Social and Political  
Sciences, Cambridge University.  She is a leading authority on media  
policy, the BBC and Public Service Broadcasting in the UK and Europe

well as the influential book: Uncertain Vision: Birt, Dyke and the  
Reinvention of the BBC.
