Amelia Gentleman Guardian Journalist and Author “The Windrush Betrayal” Media Masters – May 14, 2020 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
Amelia Gentleman Guardian Journalist and Author “The Windrush Betrayal” Media Masters – May 14, 2020 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 joined by The Guardian journalist Amelia Gentleman. In 2018, she brought the story of the Windrush scandal, which ultimately led to the resignation of Home Secretary Amber Rudd. Her work on the story earned her the Paul Foot Award. She was named journalist of the year by the Political Studies Association and the British Journalism Awards and her recent book, The Windrush Betrayal exposing the hostile environment has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize. Amelia, thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. Let's start with the flattering question then if we may. I mean you've won more awards quite rightly so than any other guest I've had on. You must have a very well-stocked mantelpiece at home. I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure that's not true. The thing about journalism as an industry is that we have a lot of award ceremonies. I'm sure we have more than most other professions. So that probably explains it. Well, let's start if we may with the Windrush expose which shocked the nation. When did you first sense that there was a big story here that needed pursuing? It took a long time actually to realize that it was something systematic that was affecting lots of people.

Studies of Alternative Journalism, 2003-2016 by Tony Harcup
Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 By Tony Harcup A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Publication Department of Journalism Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Sheffield Submitted: October 2016 [Tony Harcup PhD by Publication: Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream] Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 SUMMARY The thesis comprises a series of nine studies that were all published in peer- reviewed journals or books between 2003 and 2016, accompanied and contextualised by a commentary setting out the coherence and significance of the research when viewed as a whole. This work is concerned with exploration of alternative media in general, and alternative journalism in particular. The submitted publications comprise separate studies that are linked thematically and point to the following conclusions: alternative journalism is not necessarily a failed project just because audiences tend to be small and the lifetime of any particular project tends to be short; there can be said to be a continuum of journalistic practice involving both mainstream and alternative media; and the reporting practices and ethical commitment found within alternative journalism can be seen as an expression of active citizenship. Taken together, the studies gathered in the submission make an original contribution to scholarship in the fields of alternative media and alternative journalism; in the process, they have much to say about journalism as a whole. As an original contribution to scholarship over a sustained period of enquiry, the thesis represents a substantial addition to our knowledge.

The Shifting Fog Kate Morton
OCTOBER 2016 Small Great Things Jodi Picoult A woman is caught in a gripping moral dilemma that resonates far beyond her place in time and history in #1 New York Times bestseller Jodi Picoult's latest. Description 'If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.' Martin Luther King Jr 'I don't want that nurse touching my baby.' Those are the instructions from the newborn child's parents. However, when the baby goes into cardiac arrest, Ruth, a nurse of twenty years' experience, sees no option but to assist. But the baby dies. And Ruth is charged with negligent homicide. Ruth is shattered and bewildered as she tries to come to terms with her situation. She finds different kinds of support from her sister, a fiery radical, and her teenage son, but it is to Kennedy McQuarrie, a white middle-class lawyer, to whom she entrusts her case, and her future. As the two come to develop a truer understanding of each other's lives, they begin to doubt the beliefs they each hold most dear. In order for the privileged to prosper, they come to realise, others have to suffer. Racism takes many forms, and is reinforced and underpinned by the structures of our society. In gripping dramas like Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper and The Pact, Jodi Picoult has explored the big issues of our time through characters whose lives resonate with us. Here we see once again her unrivalled ability to immerse us in a story whose issues will linger with us long after the final page has been finished.
