麻豆约拍

Lyse Doucet OBE CM, has been at the forefront of 麻豆约拍 reporting from some of the toughest war zones of the world.

Her work for the 麻豆约拍 began as a freelance reporter in 1983, but her big break for 麻豆约拍 News came in 1988, when she witnessed the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan.

Steeped in the tradition of 麻豆约拍 journalism, the award winning journalist examines the 麻豆约拍 and World War Two website, and reflects on the work of 麻豆约拍 war correspondents over the last 80 years.

Lyse begins by recalling the work of Richard Dimbleby, the wartime reporter that has influenced her most.

100 Voices that Made the 麻豆约拍

This project is a collaboration between the 麻豆约拍 and the University of Sussex, is part of Connected Histories of the 麻豆约拍, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

The project's core aim is to bring into the public realm some of the hidden treasures of the 麻豆约拍's own oral history archive - some 600 or so interviews with former members of staff, few of which have been available for researchers or members of the public until now.

We are also working with three other partners - Mass Observation, the Science Museum Group, and the British Entertainment History Project. This means we can enrich the 麻豆约拍鈥檚 own story by providing a new level of access to material and resources held elsewhere.

The project is based in the University of Sussex, and is led by Professor David Hendy. Other University of Sussex researchers on the project include Dr. Alban Webb, Dr. Margaretta Jolly (Director of the Centre for Life History and Life Writing Research), and Tim Hitchcock, Professor of Digital History.

This is the sixth 100 Voices that Made the 麻豆约拍 website. Previous editions cover Elections, The Birth of TV and Radio Reinvented, People, Nation, Empire and Pioneering Women. Three more will be created between now and 2021.

David Hendy outlines the unique value of oral history, its long-standing importance at the University of Sussex, and how personal testimonies can reveal new insights into the Corporation鈥檚 evolution.

Aware that Lord Asa Briggs had already published several volumes of his History of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom, Frank Gillard knew he could not compete in terms of sheer historical detail. Instead, through spoken testimony, Gillard hoped to throw new light on the 麻豆约拍's background, and how it developed. In this introductory piece of video, recorded on the 25 October 1995, he explains his ideas and motivation for the project.
