VICE MEDIA LAUNCHES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND MULTIMEDIA PROJECT PRODUCED ENTIRELY FROM USER-GENERATED CONTENT The new weekly digital series includes podcast and video versions of each episode, retelling the biggest news stories from the people who lived them Unnarrated. Unfiltered. World events told through the recordings of those who experienced them firsthand. TRAILER HERE PODCAST EPISODE AVAILABLE HERE VIDEO EPISODE AVAILABLE HERE BROOKLYN, NY (OCTOBER 30) – Today VICE ​ Media Group announced the launch of Source ​ Material, an innovative and gripping multimedia ​ project from VICE World News available now on VICE News YouTube and all the places you get your podcasts, with eight episodes dropping weekly starting October 30. Combining video and audio storytelling, Source Material is produced ​ ​ entirely from user-generated content, telling the world’s biggest stories in the most unfiltered way possible: directly from the recordings of those who lived it. With reports ranging from war zones to wildfires, the series is presented without a host, allowing the audience to get a raw look at news events from the people who lived the headlines. Each episode will be released as both an in-depth original podcast and a dynamic short film, produced uniquely for each medium, so the audience can experience the event in two ways. “VICE News is famous for our boots-on-the-ground reporting that brings our audience directly into the story,” said Jesse Angelo, President, Global News and Entertainment, VICE Media Group. “We are constantly thinking of innovative ways to deliver our journalism and Source Material brings the audience straight to the firsthand sources themselves—unfiltered and unvarnished. Cellphone videos, live streams, CCTV, dash-cams, and user-generated content are increasingly part of how we consume the news, and this documentary series shows a new way to tell stories in a world where almost everything is captured on camera.” The ambitious multimedia series launches today with the premiere episode bringing audiences aboard two of the world’s largest cruise ships at the start of the COVID-19 crisis. The episodes provide a firsthand look at crew members' lives as they find themselves stranded at sea. With new episodes launching each week, Source Material will feature episodes on the shooting at Yaya’s BBQ in Louisville in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests this summer; the Australian wildfires; Georgia's Ware State Prison riot; the Syrian civil war; the Las Vegas shooting; and more. Building off the success of VICE News in the U.S, VICE World News is a newly-launched content hub from VICE Media Group, producing hundreds of hours of international television, digital and audio news programming for a global audience. The premium documentaries, docu-series and original podcasts will focus on the core issues that so define VICE's content: extremism, climate, drugs, privacy, politics, inequality, and race. Source Material video series is directed by Ian Bell with editing from Alex Megaro. Executive ​ producers are Vivek Kemp, Shawn Killbrew and Courtney Brooks. Source Material the ​ podcast is produced by Peter Lang-stanton, Nicole Kelly, Stephanie Brown. Sound design by Kyle Murdock and Steve Bone. Executive produced and edited by Kate Osborn. Source Material Synopsis Journalism is powered by primary sources—people who were there, people who saw it, people who lived it. Now, with a camera in everyone’s pocket, phone footage is powering the press. From war zones to wildfires, Source Material presents the stories of people who lived ​ the headlines with their cameras running. Cut out the host, cut out the reporter, and hear the source material for yourself. ENDS ABOUT VICE MEDIA GROUP VICE Media Group is the world’s largest independent youth media company.

ABSTRACT This study examines the perceived credibility of professional photojournalism in context to the usage of User-Generated Content (UGC) when compared across digital news and social media platforms, by individual news consumers in the United States employing a Q methodology experiment. The literature review studies source credibility as the theoretical framework through which to begin; however, using an inductive design, the data may indicate additional patterns and themes. Credibility as a news concept has been studied in terms of print media, broadcast and cable television, social media, and inline news, both individually and between genres. Very few studies involve audience perceptions of credibility, and even fewer are concerned with visual images. Using online Q methodology software, this experiment was given to 100 random participants who sorted a total of 40 images labeled with photographer and platform information. The data revealed that audiences do discern the source of the image, in both the platform and the photographer, but also take into consideration the category of news image in their perception of the credibility of an image.

  • The Protection of Journalistic Sources, a Cornerstone of the Freedom of the Press

    The Protection of Journalistic Sources, a Cornerstone of the Freedom of the Press

    Thematic factsheet1 Last update: June 2018 THE PROTECTION OF JOURNALISTIC SOURCES, A CORNERSTONE OF THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS According to the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, the right of journalists not to disclose their sources is not a mere privilege to be granted or taken away depending on the lawfulness or unlawfulness of their sources, but is part and parcel of the right to information, to be treated with the utmost caution. Without an effective protection, sources may be deterred from assisting the press in informing the public on matters of public interest. As a result, the vital “public watchdog” role of the press may be undermined. Any interference with the right to protection of journalistic sources (searches at journalists’ workplace or home, seizure of journalistic material, disclosure orders etc) that could lead to their identification must be backed up by effective legal procedural safeguards commensurate with the importance of the principle at stake. First and foremost among these safeguards is the guarantee of a review by an independent and impartial body to prevent unnecessary access to information capable of disclosing the sources’ identity. Such a review is preventive in nature. The review body has to be in a position to weigh up the potential risks and respective interests prior to any disclosure. Its decision should be governed by clear criteria, including as to whether less intrusive measures would suffice. The disclosure orders placed on journalists have a detrimental impact not only on their sources, whose identity may be revealed, but also on the newspaper against which the order is directed, whose reputation may be negatively affected in the eyes of future potential sources by the disclosure, and on the members of the public, who have an interest in receiving information imparted through anonymous sources and who are also potential sources themselves.
  • The Growing Relationship Between Brands and the Entertainment World Is a Big Theme Once Again at Cannes

    The Growing Relationship Between Brands and the Entertainment World Is a Big Theme Once Again at Cannes

    The growing relationship between brands and the entertainment world is a big theme once again at Cannes. The debate is focused on several growing issues for brands in this space – including the integration of social media and device technology at live events, built through partnerships with the likes of Snapchat and Twitter, and the distribution of branded entertainment through deals with big media companies. Undoubtedly the biggest issue, however, is the need for brands to adapt to a changing world where they are part of a larger entertainment ecosystem. This requires some brave thinking about their brand and its role, together with the ability to connect with and, ultimately, move people in some way. This concern emerged during the Lions Entertainment session ‘What’s Next in the World of Brands and Entertainment?” The point made most forcibly by Jonny Sabbath, of Anheusher- Busch InBev. He stressed the need for those in the brand world to “think like a marketer, act like a producer. As marketers we have to act more like entertainment producers, do less interrupting and more attracting.” Sabbath raised what for me should be a significant focus for brands: bringing something that’s unique, entertaining, or useful to your audience. He cited one of his own projects, the Beerland show on Vice Media’s Viceland that follows craft brewer Meg Gill on a journey to meet home-brewers, to make his point that brands are now engaging with audiences by buying or creating TV shows and then developing their advertising around this entertainment. This requires a different approach for brands, putting themselves more in the role of producer and asking whether people will want to actively engage with the content and whether the product or service has the permission to have a conversation with people at that time, and in that space.

Days before Minnesota's statewide elections in 1982, a prominent Minneapolis Republican told Sturdevant he would give her damaging information about a statewide candidate if Sturdevant would promise not to reveal her source.' Sturdevant pledged confidentiality and, in return, received a manila envelope containing a reporter's bo- nanza: copies of secret court records showing that the democratic candi- date for lieutenant governor had been convicted of shoplifting twelve years earlier.2 When Sturdevant submitted the story to the newspaper, 3 however, her editors refused to honor her promise of confidentiality.

  • Truth and Untruth in in the Battle for Media Coverage Publicity Stunts in Terms of News Factor Theory

    Truth and Untruth in in the Battle for Media Coverage Publicity Stunts in Terms of News Factor Theory

    Truth and Untruth in in the Battle for Media Coverage Publicity Stunts in Terms of News Factor Theory Zoë Visser 10151931 Master’s thesis Graduate School of Communication Master’s programme Communication Science Thesis supervisor: dr. J.W. Boumans Friday June 24th 2016 Abstract The professions of PR and journalism have been changing and widely discussed by scholars and professionals in both fields. Increasing workload in journalism demands journalists to accept an increasing number of ready-made source texts. PR professionals provide such materials, organizing both truthful and untruthful publicity stunts with the aim of becoming the subject of news. Despite all studies on the news selection process, publicity stunts are rarely covered in research. This study aims to take a first step in theorizing both types of stunts in the news process. For this purpose, a quantitative content analysis of the most validated news factors in journalistic selection processes is carried out on a range of stunts and media publications on these stunts in the Netherlands. Results show that publications on untruthful stunts score significantly higher on news factor intensity than truthful stunts, and that non-commercial organizations (governmental and NGOs) score significantly higher on news factor intensity than commercial organizations. No organizational contexts explaining for a higher number untruths in publicity stunts were discovered. It was however found that he truth of a third of untruthful stunts was doubted by the journalist covering the news event, while none of the truthful stunts were questioned. This implies that journalists are capable of distinguishing truthful and untruthful stunts to some extent.
