Of some interest to audiences ... ?

[french frank]

Not me :-)

I imagine they've been overwhelmed by the numbers signing up and are wondering if they've done the right thing by inviting responses .....? Who, exactly, will read what we say, or will it be outsourced and a resume put before the DG? How serious are they about this?

[Russ]

It is possible they've been underwhelmed by the number of signing ups, and are wondering whether all they've been saddled with are the 'troublemakers'...

Oh, Good! Serve them right.

Nor me - I assume it's all going terribly well

Well, we'll be making enquiries eventually ...

But the whole 'transparency/openness' thing is a bit of a nightmare for the BBC. The latest from the Trust replying (sort of) to enquiries about the Radio 3 budget said that the Trust was 'happy to explain more about this area as one of the aims of the service licences is to provide greater transparency about each service'. But how many members of the public have even heard of service licences? - and, as you say, aren't the ones who have the troublemakers? Why else would they be interested other than to make trouble?

Citizens in a democracy are always troublesomely nagging on about how their taxes are spent. How inconvenient and inconsiderate of them.

[mangerton]

Not me neither.

Troublemakers? Nous? You couldn't hope to find a more pleasant bunch.

Just had my first email, with a survey, apparently. They all want to know what we think, don't they? - both 'sides'

Can anyone work out who to contact to tell them that when you click on 'Music' here, it just reloads the same page? (The Arts link works).

I've registered and started the survey. Surveys are expensive to produce because it's vital they are clear, accurate and accessible.
Just admire the quality of the English, the clarity of expression, and the advanced thinking revealed by this proposal for the new, digital age:


Recruit a new generation of talent who are specialist in digital content, including:
a. Small amounts of funding to get them started
b. A place to test new ideas
c. Asking them to produce bold, online-first content for youth and younger audiences

Sorry. Just clicked on your 'Music' link and I get the same and feedback and help button is not about the survey. I think somewhere on the BBC complaints page there should be a 'report broken link' button?

(Have received my questionnaire, concentrated thought will be required this weekend)

I'm sure Dipsticks Research who are processing the replies has experts in working out

a) What the questions mean
b) What the respondent understood it to mean
c) What the respondent's answer meant

If anything, in cases a), b) and c).

I've only looked at the first page, it's multiple choice of course but I think that's better than - on a scale of 1 to 10 option?
It's what we write in the box that is important ..... unless of course that is discarded because it cannot be classified on the Dipstick's scale and requires someone outsourced on the minimum wage in Watford to precis it and .... present it to the DG? Really? I'm not convinced that they want to hear anything they don't want to hear.

Found it here and reported it.
