第二篇：BBC的历史

BBC的历史

英国广播公司（British Broadcast Company），简称BBC，成立于1922年，是英国最大的新闻广播机构，也是世界最大的新闻广播机构之一。BBC虽然是接受英国政府财政资助的公营媒体，但其管理却是由一个独立于政府以外的12人监管委员会负责，并且通过皇家宪章保障其独立性。监管委员以公众利益的信托人的身份管理BBC，他们都是社会上有名望的人士，包括苏格兰、威尔斯、北爱尔兰和英格兰的首长，由英国首相提名，英女皇委任。

监管委员会下辖执行委员会，由16个不同部门主管组成，负责BBC日常营运工作，委员会主席为行政总裁，并兼任总编辑。

BBC目前经营10个电视频道和11个电台调频，及直接由英国政府出资经营以43种语言作全球广播。BBC在新闻界最为人乐道的是其严格的要求，所有制作人都要恪守BBC的工作规章：节目制作人准则，该准则对编辑和采访业务的各方面提出了具体详细的要求。

在BBC建立之前，已经有很多私人公司尝试在英国做电台广播。根据1904年的无线电法案，英国邮政局负责颁发电台广播牌照。1919年，由于收到很多军队对过多广播而干扰军事通讯的投诉，邮政局停止发出牌照。于是，1920年代初期，广播电台数量骤减，越来越多人要求成立一个国家广播电台。一个由无线电收音机制造商组成的委员会经过几个月的讨论，最终提出一个方案，BBC由此诞生。

英国广播公司成立于1922年，由几个大财团共同出资，包括马可尼（Marconi）、英国通用电气公司（GEC）、British Thomson Houston等。公司草创时最初的目的是建立一个覆盖全国的广播传输网络，以为今后的全国广播提供便利。1922年11月14日，BBC的第一个电台，2LO以中波从伦敦牛津街的塞尔福里奇百货公司（Selfridges Department Store）的屋顶开始广播。次日5IT从伯明翰，2ZY从曼彻斯特也开始了广播。

1927年BBC获得皇家特许状（Royal Charter of Incorporation），由理事会负责公司的运作，理事会成员由政府任命，每人任期4年，公司日常工作则由理事会任命的总裁负责。

1932年BBC帝国电台（BBC Empire Service）开播，这是BBC第一个向英国本土以外地区广播的电台频道。1938年，BBC阿拉伯语电台开播，这是BBC的第一个外语频道。到二战结束时，BBC已经以英语、阿拉伯语、法语、德语、意大利语、葡萄牙语和西班牙语7种语言向全世界广播。这是BBC国际电台（BBC World Service）的前身。

苏格兰工程师约翰·罗吉·贝尔德从1932年开始和BBC合作，尝试进行电视播送。1936年11月2日，BBC开始成立了全球第一个电视台。电视广播在二战中曾经中断，但是在1946年重新开播。1953年6月2日，BBC现场直播伊丽莎白二世在西敏寺的登基大典，估计全英国约有2,000万人直接目睹了女王登基的现场实况。

由于受到地下电台的挑战，1967年9月30日BBC开始了BBC Radio 1电台调频，以播送流行音乐为主。1983年，BBC又第一个开播了早晨电视节目，叫做《英伦早晨(BBC Breakfast Time)》（现在不叫Breakfast Time而叫Breakfast），抢在了竞争对手的前头。

1991年BBC正式播出BBC国际新闻频道，后在1995年1月更名为BBC World。与BBC电台不同的是，BBC国际新闻频道是商业电视台，通过广告营利，这也意味着该频道不能在英国本土播出。2008年4月21日改为BBC World News。

1998年8月，BBC的国内频道也开始采用卫星播送，这么做的一个意想不到的结果是，只要欧洲观众使用英国制造的卫星解码器，他们也可以收看BBC One（象央视一套）和BBC TWO（象央视二套）。2003年7月，BBC4号调频（BBC Radio 4）的一个新闻节目引述了一名政府官员的话称贝理雅政府在萨达姆拥有大规模杀伤性武器问题上“加油添醋”，而没有按照情报机构所提供的情报准确向公众报告，以获得公众对参与美伊战争的支持。报导这一新闻的BBC著名记者安德鲁·吉利根（Andrew Gilligan）后来在一篇文章中称，贝理雅政府的新闻官阿斯戴尔·坎贝尔（Alistair Campbell）是夸大情报的幕后黑手。英国政府完全否认该项指控，英国议会决定任命独立检察官对事件进行调查。事件导致BBC与英国政府的关系恶化。在原先怀疑是BBC情报来源的英国国防部专家大卫·凯利博士自杀后，事件继续恶化，BBC和英国政府都被指责应对凯利之死负责。在独立检察官最后发表的《赫顿报告》中，吉利根和BBC高层都被指责对新闻处理不当。事件导致吉利根本人、BBC总裁和BBC理事会主席的辞职。

第四篇：BBC演讲精华整理

BBC双语新闻讲解附字幕:医生称舒马赫仍未脱离危险 BBC News with Nick Kelly Both sides in the conflict in South Sudan have agreed to meet for peace talks in Ethiopia to try to halt the violence that's killed at least 1,000 people in the past two weeks.But fighting has continued and Bor forces loyal to the rebel leader Riek Machar are reported to be backing control of the strategic town of Bor.James Copnall is in the capital Juba.The talks are due to take place in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa once both delegations arrive.The first priority should be agreeing on the terms of a cessation of hostilities.Next would come the potentially more challenging issue of resolving the political fractures that created this crisis.President Salva Kiir has already told the BBC that he will not contemplate sharing power with his rival Riek Machar.Meanwhile the fighting continues.Earlier today, Mr.Machar said his forces had taken the town of Bor.Aid workers in Syria say hospitals in the country's biggest city Aleppo have been overwhelmed by civilian casualties following intense bombardment by government forces, They say barrel bombs improvised explosives have been dropped on densely populated areas including schools and markets.Aitor Zabalgogeazkoa of the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres has just returned from Aleppo, he said about 4 or 5 barrel bombs a day are been dropped and their impact has been devastating.“Really, it's probably the most difficult time for the people for the civilians in Aleppo.Everybody is terrified, and you know, paradoxically everybody terrified thinking that good weather would come back tomorrow and everybody are afraid of expecting there more extra to gain.”

Three journalists working for the Al-Jazeera television network have been remanded in custody for 15 days by the Egyptian authorities.The men were arrested on Sunday at a hotel in Cairo.They include the former BBC correspondent Peter Greste who's Australian.Bethany Bell reports from Cairo.A statement from the Egyptian public prosecutor's office said the journalists were accused of joining an illegal terrorist group.It said they broadcast false news which undermined the Egypt's reputation.Al-Jazeera has condemned the arrests and called for the immediate and unconditional release of its team.The Egyptian authorities have accused Al-Jazeera of bias in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood since the army overthrew president Mohammed Morsi in July.Last week, the Muslim Brotherhood was declared a terrorist organization.The United States says it has released the last three Chinese Muslim Uighur prisoners from a detention center at Guantanamo Bay.They have arrived in Slovakia which has agreed to take them in.The three men were held at the US prison for more than a decade after being captured in Afghanistan.The Pentagon said their transfer to Slovakia was a milestone in its efforts to close Guantanamo.World News from the BBC Doctors treating the German motor racing star Michael Schumacher say there has been a slight improvement in his condition.The seven times Formula 1 champion suffered serious head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps on Sunday.Neurosurgeons at the university hospital in Grenoble carried out a second operation overnight relieve pressure on his brain.They say Schumacher, who's been kept in a medically induced coma is not out of danger yet.France has given details of sharp cut in the number of troops in Mali.The French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian who's visiting Mali said there has been a 60% reduction over the next three months leaving 1,000 in place.In January this year, French soldiers defeated Islamist rebels who've taken over northern Mali but the insurgent attacks have continued.The Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia will continue to fight terrorists until their complete annihilation.The comments in a New Year's Eve speech were his first public remarks after two deadly suicide bombings on consecutive days in the city of Volgograd which killed 34 people.Islamist militants from Russia's Caucasus region have been widely blamed for attacks which have raised security concerns ahead February's Winter Olympics.And millions of people around the world are celebrating the new year.In Dubai fireworks exploded from the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building while revelers in central Moscow watched the spectacular display over the Kremlin.China counted down to midnight with light shows at the Great Wall near Beijing and in Shanghai.Also fireworks displaced in Auckland in New Zealand and Sydney in Australia.And in Hong Kong, fireworks exploded over Victoria Harbour.BBC News

埃及检察官办公室称这些记者的罪名是加入恐怖组织，称他们播报有损埃及声誉的虚假新闻。半岛电视台谴责逮捕事件，呼吁立即无条件释放这些人。埃及当局指责半岛电视台自7月份军队推翻总统穆罕默德·穆尔西后就偏袒穆斯林兄弟会。上周，当局宣布穆斯林兄弟会为恐怖组织。

美国称已释放在关塔那摩湾的三名中国维族穆斯林囚犯，这些人前往斯洛伐克，该国已同意接受他们。这三人在阿富汗被捕后在美国监狱被关押了10多年，五角大楼称将他们转交给斯洛伐克是关闭关塔那摩的里程碑的一步。
