Researchers Help Shape National Debate on the Future of Scottish Broadcasting
Published: 25 February 2026
The Scottish Parliament’s ongoing inquiry into the future of public broadcasting in Scotland has drawn significant contributions from academics across the College.
A series of written submissions from University experts and one notable alumnus feature prominently among the evidence published by the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee.
Among the contributors were Dr Lisa Kelly, Professor David Archibald (via The Tenementals research project), the Centre for Cultural Policy research (Professor Gillian Doyle, Professor Raymond Boyle and researcher Kenny Barr) as well as Professor Philip Schlesinger (via the submission from the Glasgow Media Group).
The College’s connection to the inquiry also extends to its alumni community with Angus Dixon, a graduate of the institution, also submitting individual evidence.
As the committee progresses through its evidence sessions, these contributions help shape Scotland’s position within the wider UK debate on BBC Charter renewal and the future direction of public service broadcasting.
