Mr Jim Tedder, former Director of Information and Broadcasting, Library and Museum Services, and longest-serving expatriate civil servant in the BSIP, recently left after 23 years’ service. He is now in South Australia as executive director of the Conservation Council.
In his 23 years in the BSIP, Mr Tedder was District Commissioner in all four districts. He said that the biggest change in the Information and Broadcasting Service, of which he be came head in 1972, was the large number of local people now planning and producing their own programmes.
There was also a big increase in listener response. But a major prob lem was the very young staff, who had very little training.
