Register of Journalists' Interests REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 20 September 2016) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £740 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass.’ Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards. Under the rectification procedure a late entry may be printed in bold italics in the Register for twelve months from its first appearance. Information and advice about the Register and the rules governing it The Register can be viewed at www.parliament.uk by looking under ‘Registers of Interests’ in the A-Z Index on the home page there.

  • You Are What You Read
    You are what you read? How newspaper readership is related to views BY BOBBY DUFFY AND LAURA ROWDEN MORI's Social Research Institute works closely with national government, local public services and the not-for-profit sector to understand what works in terms of service delivery, to provide robust evidence for policy makers, and to help politicians understand public priorities. Bobby Duffy is a Research Director and Laura Rowden is a Research Executive in MORI’s Social Research Institute. Contents Summary and conclusions 1 National priorities 5 Who reads what 18 Explaining why attitudes vary 22 Trust and influence 28 Summary and conclusions There is disagreement about the extent to which the media reflect or form opinions. Some believe that they set the agenda but do not tell people what to think about any particular issue, some (often the media themselves) suggest that their power has been overplayed and they mostly just reflect the concerns of the public or other interests, while others suggest they have enormous influence. It is this last view that has gained most support recently. It is argued that as we have become more isolated from each other the media plays a more important role in informing us. At the same time the distinction between reporting and comment has been blurred, and the scope for shaping opinions is therefore greater than ever. Some believe that newspapers have also become more proactive, picking up or even instigating campaigns on single issues of public concern, such as fuel duty or Clause 28. This study aims to shed some more light on newspaper influence, by examining how responses to a key question – what people see as the most important issues facing Britain – vary between readers of different newspapers.

  • THE TELEVISION ANNUAL for 196O the Most Eminent Actors and Actresseson the British Stage Nowadays Appear in Television
    THE TELEVISION ANNUAL FOR 196o The most eminent actors and actresseson the British stage nowadays appear in television. Vivien Leigh chose the unusual playThe Skin of Our Teeth,when she appeared for Granada. According to the "audience ratings", however,the play was not popular with viewers. THE TV REVOLUTION KENNETH BAILYSurveys the Non -Stop Development of British Television THE expansion of television, in numbers of viewers and in organization behind the programmes, has made a rapid spurt. In size and complexity, what is involved in television today was undreamed of only five years ago. Gone for ever are the days when every viewer knew where each programme was coming from, and knew that the BBC was responsible for all that he saw. Today many a viewer finds himself lost in a tangle of symbols like ATV, AR, ABC, TTT, TWW, and more; understanding of what goes on is fogged by varied "channel" numbers; by such slogans as "Granada from the North" when the programme comes from Chelsea; and by a mixture of ITV "boss" names always popping up in the press, like Parnell, Bernstein, Grade, Brownrigg and Adorian. Those old familiar names, Alexandra Palace and Lime Grove, which once meant the absolute source of all British television, are now lost among the mostly unnamed and little publicised studios of ITV in London and the provinces. And much that is seen comes out of film cans from Hollywood, New York, Elstree and Teddington, produced out of a vortex of film -cum -TV financiers, producers, distributors and others. The maze of operations which is television today contrasts sharply with the tiny beginning, and the slow start.

  • BBC Puts Accent on North a Keynote Lecture by Peter Salmon Director
    Can You Hear It? BBC puts Accent on North A keynote lecture by Peter Salmon Director, BBC North Good evening. It is good to be in Sunderland — home to the fastest counters in the country, as we all saw on Election night. All the drama that opening the ballot boxes has resulted in started right here. Amazing to think that 40 million people watched some of that remarkable Election Campaign on the BBC. I don’t think I can beat that drama tonight — nor can I match the excitement of the new Dr Who’s appearance here a few weeks ago for an exclusive screening of the first episode of the new series for local children - but I do hope I can give you a sense of some of the change already underway in the BBC that I hope will have a growing impact on your lives over the next few years. I’d like to thank Graeme and the RTS in the North East for inviting me and providing this chance to talk to you about our big move North next year and the opportunities it can create for programme making here in the Northeast. I’d ask your forgiveness in advance if I talk about The North as though it were a single place as opposed to a whole series of great cities and towns and regions of England. As I hope to explain today though, I do think there is much that binds us together — not as little northerners, reduced to settling for second best, but citizens of the greater north, unified in ambition and confidence.
