New Resource from BUFVC

Channel 4 Press Packs 1982-2002

This week sees the launch of a new resource from BUFVC - Channel 4 Press Packs 1982-2002.  The resource will provide access to two decades of weekly press packs with can be searched and browsed online. Additional context to the resource comes in the form of articles, timelines and case studies.

The Channel 4 press information packs were ground-breaking in their ability to provide context to programme listings.  They completely reworked the accepted formula of broadcaster press packs: transforming a few typewritten pages into 50+ page booklets which included detailed film notes, programme highlights, reviews and stills.
