    The Full Fact Report 2020 Fighting the causes and consequences of bad information THE FULL FACT REPORT 2020 Full Fact is the UK’s independent fact checking charity. About this report Full Fact fights bad information. We do this in four main ways. We fact check claims made by politicians, public institutions, in the press and online. We then follow up on these, to stop and reduce the spread of specific claims. We campaign for systems changes to help make bad information rarer and less harmful, and advocate for higher standards in public debate. This report is based on the evidence we have built up over the last ten years, with a particular focus on 2019. It is the first of three annual reports that we are able to produce thanks to the support of the Nuffield Foundation. The Nuffield Foundation is an independent charitable trust with a mission to advance social well-being. It funds research that informs social policy, primarily in Education, Welfare, and Justice. It also funds student programmes that provide opportunities for young people to develop skills in quantitative and scientific methods. The Nuffield Foundation is the founder and co-funder of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics and the Ada Lovelace Institute.

    Torin Douglas Media Masters - November 13, 2014 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediafocus.org.uk Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Torin Douglas. Torin started his career as a trainee journalist at DC Thomson before joining Campaign magazine as a media writer. After a brief stint at the IBA – the then commercial broadcast regulator – he returned to journalism, editing Marketing Week and then Creative Review. Over the next decade he reported on the media industry for The Times, The Economist and The Independent and presented his own media show on LBC. He then joined the BBC. Their media correspondent for 24 years until his retirement last year, he covered the work of six director generals, the birth of BskyB and the growth of the Murdoch empire, the ongoing debate over press and privacy, the ITV licence auction – and subsequent mergers – and the matter of Jimmy Savile. Having spent a whopping 40 years covering the press, he is now a visiting professor at the University of Bedfordshire, a regular media columnist and director of the Chiswick Book Festival. And, I’m pleased to say, was recently awarded an MBE. Torin, congratulations! Thank you very much! And thank you for joining us. Thank you. Well, where on earth do we start with that? Did you always want to be a journalist? I genuinely did. From the age of about eight I wanted to be a journalist, and I think it was probably that board game, Scoop, which some people might remember, where you had a great big telephone and you turned it, and you got stories to put on the page, and little ads.

    YWCA Northeast Indiana 2017 Annual Report Dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Northeast Indiana “We Shall Draw from the Heart of Suffering itself the Means of inspiration and Survival.” Sir Winston Churchill The YWCA of Northeast Indiana – OUR YW – has come through another amazing year. In 2017 we underwent major transformations, not unlike what our clients go through when they come to us. In March we fully integrated Hope House, our addiction recovery program, into our expanded shelter on Decatur Road. We now have 96 beds under one roof, and our shelter is housing women, men, and children who are recovering from domestic abuse as well as women who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. We continue to offer a full spectrum of domestic violence services throughout a six-county region in northeast Indiana; in Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, Wells and Whitley counties. Our community educators are teaching students grades 4-12 and adults working in ministry, law enforcement and health care about healthy relationships, the signs of unhealthy relationships and how to manage healthy interactions on social media. Our community case workers travel throughout our service region working with people that need help leaving an abusive situation or need help setting up a new life after they leave our shelter. We’re here for people when they are in a moment of crisis, and we are there to teach people how to avoid those crises. We take stands against injustice when we see it, whether on a personal or community level.

Users faced civil penalties for libel cases, while at least two individuals were imprisoned for violent threats made on Facebook and Twitter (see Violations of User Rights). • In April 2014, the European Court of Justice determined that EU rules on the mass retention of user data by ISPs violated fundamental privacy and data protection rights.

His practice includes corporate advisory and financial services work, corporate crime and international human rights as well as defamation, privacy, confidence, malicious falsehood, contempt and related media law cases.
