When Stars Are Formed a Fantastic Award, Celebrating Youth Journalism WHEN STARS ARE FORMED A FANTASTIC AWARD, CELEBRATING YOUTH JOURNALISM RECOGNITION NOT JUST FROM PEERS, BUT FROM LEADING JOURNALISTS ACROSS THE INDUSTRY #30TOWATCH JUDGES A COMPETITION THAT’S RIGOROUS, THAT’S TOUGH, AND REALLY MEANS SOMETHING STORIES THAT MADE IMPACT, STORIES THAT PEOPLE REMEMBERED #30TOWATCH JUDGES FOREWORD The 30“ To Watch: Young Journalist Awards exist because we believe passionately that young talent is reshaping the news industry, and those journalists’ achievements must be celebrated and rewarded. ” Ian Kirby Head of Strategic Media Unit, Engine MHP The head of MHP’s Strategic Media Unit, Ian Kirby, reflects on why, despite gloomy headlines, these awards are a reassuring sign that the future of UK journalism is in good health. The 30 To Watch: Young Journalist Awards exist because we believe passionately that young talent is reshaping the news industry, and those journalists’ achievements must be celebrated and rewarded. After a difficult decade, shaped by the accelerating decline in newspaper circulation, the rise of ‘fake news’ and attacks on journalism by politicians – some parts of the news media industry are beginning to show encouraging signs of recovery. After years of losses, The Guardian turned a working profit. Regional news’ decline is starting to bottom out, with some innovative editors finding new ways to reach their audiences and a growth in community newspapers replacing older traditional titles. Radio has begun a renaissance, with talented younger reporters dominating high-profile slots that have for too long been held by older, less innovative colleagues, and podcasting enjoying strong growth. The rapid rise at the BBC of Tina Daheley, who is presenting this evening’s 30 To Watch Awards and is one of the most listened-to presenters on British radio, is a great example of this. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism reported last year that the appetite for digital news continued to grow rapidly, with more people prepared to pay for news in a format that suited them. The bottom line is this: there is more news in the UK than ever before and it is being consumed in more ways. FOREWORD continued DIFFERENT BROADCASTERS (INCLUDING PODCASTS) The entries for this year’s awards reflect In addition, we are grateful to Angus the breadth of the news industry’s MacSwan, Chief Desk Editor – EMEA output, from photo essays on India’s at Reuters, who reviewed entries in the race to become a global economic Foreign and International category; Jo powerhouse to gritty investigations into Willey, a freelancer who has written on knife crime in the UK.

  • HOW INCLUSION CAN EXCLUDE: the CASE of PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION for WOMEN How Inclusion Can Exclude: the Case of Public Toilet Provision for Women
    HOW INCLUSION CAN EXCLUDE: THE CASE OF PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION FOR WOMEN How Inclusion can Exclude: The Case of Public Toilet Provision for Women GAIL RAMSTER, CLARA GREED and JO-ANNE BICHARD Our built environment is required to meet human needs at the most basic of levels. If our pavements and roads aff ord our movement across the built environment’s landscapes, then provisions should also be in place to meet the needs of the body in motion. This paper will take a historical perspective of the introduction and design of public toilets to illustrate how certain spaces in the city were defi ned by the bodies that toilet provision served. It will show how biological functions such as menstruation are not being met by public toilet design and infrastructure, and how overall provision is inadequate for women for both biological and social factors. Public toilets refl ect and reinforce a binary gender society, resulting in some users being excluded or their rights to access challenged by others. A new chapter is currently being writt en regarding the needs of transgender people, raising questions around existing design diff erences between men’s and women’s toilets and the very notion of segregating public toilets by gender, evident through the growing numbers of ‘gender-neutral toilets’. However, these changes to public toilet design and provision are emerging without expert guidance and with a lack of research into how this might positively or negatively impact diff erent groups. Designers, architects and planners are facing a series of interesting challenges when considering how new and existing UK provision can be inclusive of a diversity of bodies and their rights to access without excluding those socially and culturally dependant on a gender-segregated space.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand.

    Alison Phillips Editor, Daily Mirror Media Masters – September 26, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in Canary Wharf, London, and at the offices of the Daily Mirror, joined by their editor in chief, Alison Phillips. Previously in charge of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, she was also launch editor of New Day, the short-lived newspaper, in 2016. She also leads on addressing gender imbalance at Mirror publisher Reach, heading up their Women Together network, and is this year’s Society of Editor’s popular columnist of the year. Alison, thank you for joining me. Hi. Alison, you were appointed in March. It must have been an incredibly proud moment for you, how is it going? It’s going really well, I think. I hope. It’s been a busy few months, because obviously Reach has bought the Express as well, so there have been a lot of issues going on. But in terms of the actual paper at the Mirror, I hope, I feel, that we’re reaching a point of sustained confidence, which is so important for a paper. We’ve had some real success on campaigns, which I think is really our lifeblood. And I think we’re managing to energise the staff, which is absolutely essential for a well-functioning newspaper. Is it more managerial at the moment with the organisational challenges that you’ve been dealing with? Because you must, as the leader of the business, as the editor, you’ve got so many things you could be doing, you’ve got to choose, having to prioritise.

    TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP 2014 wwwbbpower-inspiration.com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP Welcome to the 2014 edition of the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Here you will find 100 bright, ambitious and successful British Bangladeshi names across 19 categories demonstrating the dynamic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic, pioneering and innovative nature of this community. The 20th category of the 2014 list is the “People’s Choice” where for the first time the general public were invited to nominate their most inspirational British Bangladeshi. The judges are delighted to announce the 5 unsung heroes of this category who serve to remind us of the strength and courage of individuals and the potential for the future. We are often asked why we produce this list and the answer lies with the word “inspiration”. The next generation is rising fast and we aim to be at the forefront of this revolution. Recent studies have shown that in GCSE exams taken at the age of 16, Bangladeshi girls now outperform their peers. On its own this is an amazing sound bite of achievement, but imagine what more could be achieved by providing strong, powerful role models and mentors for young girls (and boys!) from across all industries and categories that the BB Power & Inspiration represents. That is why following the success of our recent lawyers networking event, we will be hosting a series of “inspirational events” under the BB Power & Inspiration banner throughout 2014 for sectors such business and enterprise, medicine, public service and the arts. Please keep checking the website for further details. As if that wasn’t enough, it has become tradition that we do a little extra and so this year, please take a look at the 10 inspirational Bangladeshi figures who live away from our shores but who demonstrate our values of talent, success, leadership and are exceptional role models for all.

  • New News, Future News the Challenges for Television News After Digital Switch-Over
    New News, Future News The challenges for television news after Digital Switch-over An Ofcom discussion document Publication date: 26 June 2007 Foreword The prospects for television news in a fully digital era are a central element in any consideration of the future of public service broadcasting (PSB). News is regarded by viewers as the most important of all the PSB genres, and television remains by far the most used source of news for UK citizens. The role of news and information as part of the democratic process is long established, and its status is specifically underpinned in the Communications Act 2003. This report, New News, Future News, is one of a series of Ofcom studies focussing on individual topics identified in the PSB Review of 2004/05, and further discussed in the Digital PSB report of July 2006. The others are on the provision of children’s programmes and on the prospects for a Public Service Publisher. All three studies are linked to areas of particular PSB concern for the future, and set out a framework for policy consideration ahead of the next full PSB review. Other Ofcom work of relevance includes the review of Channel 4’s funding. It has not been the role of this report to come up with solutions, and no policy recommendations are put forward. Instead, the report examines the environment in which television news currently operates, and assesses how that may change in future (after digital switch-over and, in 2014, the expiry of current Channel 3 and Channel 5 licences) . It identifies particular issues that will need to be addressed and suggests some specific questions that may need to be answered.
