Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Karen Birch

Karen Birch was born and brought up on the outskirts of Liverpool and now lives in the Scottish Borders. She is Chair of Glasgow Women’s Library., has been a board member of both Glasgow Women’s Aid and Co-operative Development Scotland and is a founder member of a co-operative online magazine which looks at business issues from a women’s perspective. Karen is also a sculptor who has exhibited in galleries across Scotland. Her media consumption is diverse, focussed around speech radio and Â鶹ԼÅÄ on-line services and she is a keen user of  TV and radio catch-up services. In particular, Karen is a fan of Sherlock and Dr Who and has been listening to The Archers since she was a student. Karen believes that the most valuable thing about the Â鶹ԼÅÄ is that it is seen as a trusted source for information not only in the UK but across the world and feels that while it is important to expand across existing and emerging platforms to reach a broad audience, it is important to maintain quality and to further enhance the reputation of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ.
