Ofcom publishes its second consultation into the future of Public Service Broadcasting
Ofcom last week published the second phase of its review of Public Service Broadcasting (PSB). Ofcom research shows the high value which audiences put on the provision of public service content outside the BBC even when faced with the possibility of having to pay for it.
As supporting evidence for the PSB review, Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy has produced the paper 'Approaches to Public Service Investment and Competition in the Cultural Sector'. The paper looks at current funding models within the cultural sector as supporting evidence for Ofcom's 2008 Review of Public Service Television Broadcasting.
A full list of the Consultation Documents can be found on Ofcom's website:

Creative Opportunities: work-related learning opportunities in the creative industries for young people aged 14-19
Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy was commissioned by NESTA and the Make Your Mark Campaign to produce a report looking at how organisations and businesses in different sectors can engage more effectively with education.
The study challenges traditional approaches to WRL and examines models of engagement between the creative industries and 14-19 year olds, which provide the opportunity for young people to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the future. Case studies are used to highlight some of the key benefits for those participating: young people, schools and colleges, and creative industry employers.
A summary as well as the full report can be downloaded from NESTAs website:
