Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Television : the Public's View annual survey series was started in 1992, to help the Independent Television Commission (ITC - then regulator of commercial television in the UK) to collect data on the public's attitudes to television, in order to fulfil its obligations to conduct research as enshrined in the 1990 Broadcasting Act. During 2003, the ITC, Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Radio Authority (RA) merged to form Ofcom, who are now responsible for the surveys. To reflect the inclusion of the RA within Ofcom and the advent of new broadcasting technologies, the most recent years of the survey now also include information on radio programmes, and the internet. The surveys comprise the results of interviews with members of the general public in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, conducted face-to-face in their homes, using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) technology. The main objectives of the survey include monitoring trends in the following over time: ownership of new technology (particularly digital and multi-channel television); most valued television channels, and attitudes towards the programmes broadcast; levels of offence caused by programmes or advertising on the television or radio; awareness of the watershed and the organisations responsible for monitoring broadcast quality; use of and attitudes towards the internet. Further information about research conducted may be found on the Ofcom web site. Main Topics:Topics covered include: technology in the home (television and home entertainment equipment); viewing habits and preferences, including satellite and digital channels viewed; attitudes towards regulation ; the provision of news; changes in programme standards over time; offensive material on television and the radio; impartiality; the watershed and monitoring of children’s viewing; the perceived importance of key programme genres; attitudes towards advertising; use of the internet, and internet filtering tools.

Introduction Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) refers to automatic techniques for finding topically related material in streams of data such as newswire and broadcast news. The TDT3 corpus was created to support three TDT3 tasks: to find topically homogeneous sections (segmentation), to detect the occurrence of new events (detection) and to track the reoccurrence of old or new events (tracking). Data TDT3 Multilanguage Text Corpus Version 2.0 is the first general release of this collection (Version 1.0 was made available only to participants in the TDT 1999 and 2000 evaluation tests). It contains data from the same nine sources found in TDT2, plus two additional English television sources. Like TDT2, it provides both manually-created and automatically-generated text for most sources. For TDT3, the daily collection took place over a period of three months (October - December 1998). The sources and approximate number of stories per source are as follows: English sources Thousands of stories New York Times Newswire Service 6.9 Associated Press Worldstream Service 7.3 Cable News Network, "Headline News" 9.0 American Broadcasting Co., "World News Tonight" 1.0 Public Radio International, "The World" 1.6 Voice of America, English news programs 3.9 MS-NBC, "News with Brian Williams" 0.7 National Broadcasting Co., "NBC Nightly News" 0.8 Total English stories: 31.2 thousand Mandarin sources Thousands of stories Xinhua News Agency 5.2 Zaobao News Agency 3.8 Voice of America, Mandarin Chinese news programs 3.8 Total Mandarin stories: 12.8 thousand The goal of Topic Detection and Tracking - Phase 3 (TDT3) is to create core technology to monitor multiple streams of news in multiple languages and media (newswire, radio, television, web sites or some future combination or innovation), segmenting the streams into individual stories, detecting new topics and tracking all stories discussing them. In additional to the TDT2 tasks of segmentation, detection and tracking, TDT3 adds the tasks of first story detection and story-link detection. The goal of the latter is to detect links between stories that discuss the same topic even though the topic has not been defined in advance. There are two types of files in this publication: asr_sgm -- text data output from automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in English and Mandarin, formatted in "TIPSTER- style" SGML, derived from the audio recordings of radio and TV broadcasts. tkn_sgm -- reference text data (newswire, closed captions and manual transcripts), formatted in "TIPSTER-style" SGML Samples Please view this asr_sgm sample and tkn_sgm sample.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The most fundamental questions vexing current commercial and public strategists in the information society arena are questions that can only be answered by longitudinal studies that measure the same individuals at different points in time. Whilst cross-sectional surveys tell us about penetration and access, they cannot tell us about the effects that these patterns have on people's lives, nor can they distinguish between gross and net patterns of change. Without longitudinal analysis we simply cannot tell if acquiring internet access leads directly to improvement of life chances, to a reduction in the time spent watching television and/or to an increase in communication with distributed family members. Nor can we tell if the 40% of the EU population who were internet users in 2001 are the same as the 30% who were users in 2000 plus a new 10%, or are actually a completely new group of people due to massive churn rates in internet subscription.To address this problem the E-Living project, launched on 1st January 2001, is in the process of creating a co-ordinated set of pan-European longitudinal household panels specifically to generate quantitative data on the uptake and usage of information and communication technologies (ICTs) over time. The emphasis on longitudinal study marks this project out from the increasing number of cross-sectional surveys carried out for commercial, academic and public policy reasons. More information can be found on the E-Living: Life in a Digital Europe web pages. For the third edition, new data files were deposited. These included additional partner diary data for Israel for Wave 2 and some income corrections for both waves. The documentation has also been updated. Main Topics: The dataset contains survey data on the uptake and use of information and communication technologies in six European countries (Norway, UK, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria and Israel) in 2001 and 2002, collected via Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), as a two-wave household panel study. The survey collected data on mobile telephony, personal computer (pc) and internet uptake and use as well as a wide range of indicators of social capital, social networks, quality of life, working conditions and employment and educational experiences, as well as standard socio-demographics.
