'J.H. Whitley at the BBC 1930-35'

chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 08:45 authored by David Hendy
An exploration of J.H. Whitley's tenure as Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation, 1930-35. The chapter argues that, although Whitley's arrival brought a period of calm to the governance of the BBC, owing largely to mutual respect between Whitley and the Director-General John Reith, it also coincided - and possibly helped to shape - a period in which the BBC became more administratively restrictive and cautious. This was partly a matter of internal policy and culture, but also conditions by the climate of British political life, which was becoming increasingly conservative.
