Women's Parliamentary Radio is a website that broadcasts audio and video interviews with women MPs of all parties in the U.K. All the interviews are pre-recorded and put on the website as reports which can be streamed and listened to immediately or downloaded as podcasts so that they can be listened to later. It covers topical current affairs that are of interest to women and their families. Where the issues that concern women are also championed by men, male MPs are interviewed, too. ==Aim== WPR has stated its aim as being "the ''Woman's Hour'' of Westminster, reporting fairly and accurately on policy issues of concern to women and their families".〔()〕 It was the creation of its executive producer, former BBC political editor Boni Sones OBE. Using her broadcast knowledge, she foresaw the huge technological shift that was in broadcast journalism through the relaxation of broadcasting laws in 2005 and advances in new technology taking place. Boni taught herself sound engineering techniques and pioneered the first "as live" broadcast interviews online encouraged by women MPs at a Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet level including Theresa May MP, Caroline Spelman MP, Harriet Harman MP, Vera Baird MP, Sandra Gidley MP and Jo Swinson MP. Boni took her web broadcasting work into Cambridge University's Judge Business School where she reported on business and economics leading up to, during and after the financial crash of 2008 and 2009. The London School of Economics now has an archive dedicated to her Parliamentary and university work as an early adopter of broadcast web journalism: the "Boni Sones Archive".〔()〕 The British Library has a collection of 82 audio interviews Boni and her team conducted for a book on women in politics. Boni named the archive "The Harman Shephard" collection.〔()〕 Boni used her web skills and modern developments in technology to self-publish books about her childhood growing up in Sizewell in Suffolk in the 1950s and being part of a family who lived off "the fat of the land". The books include ''The Mermaid's Tale, A Portrait of Suffolk'', ''Two Mermaid's Together'', ''Food on the Table - All in One'', ''Dear Alex - All in One'', ''All4Now'', and ''Home Fires: 20 poems 4 2012''. All are deposited in the British Library, and all are on Amazon.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women's Parliamentary Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
