"The BBC is currently in discussion with the Charity Commission and various representatives from the voluntary sector about how it can better work with the sector, following a conference held on 21 November discussing the role of public service broadcasting within citizenship and civil society.
'The BBC has to demonstrate that it has social value, and the commission has to find more ways of adding benefit to its role as the charity sector's regulator so we share a lot of common ground when it comes to educating people. The conference allowed us to look at how the broadcast media could be better utilised. What we got were lots of ideas about how to use local media more effectively - not just traditional forms such as radio and television, but also digital technologies - and in ways that improved communications between local communities, small, isolated charities and the man on the street."
