  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .

Project work for 2021/2022 39 Plan of Work 2021/22 1. Chief Executive’s foreword Ofcom is the UK’s communications regulator, with a mission to make communications work for everyone. We serve the interests of consumers and businesses across the UK’s nations and regions, through our work in mobile and fixed telecoms, broadcasting, spectrum, post and online services. Over the past year we have learned that being connected is everything. High-quality, reliable communications services have never mattered more to people’s lives. But as consumers shift their habits increasingly online, our communications sectors are transforming fast. It is an exciting moment for our industries and for Ofcom as a regulator - it requires long-term focus alongside speed and agility in response to change. Against this backdrop our statement sets out our detailed goals for the coming financial year, and how we plan to achieve them. On telecoms, Ofcom has just confirmed a new long-term framework for investment in gigabit- capable fixed networks. In the coming year, we will shift our focus to support delivery against this programme, alongside investment and innovation in 5G and new mobile infrastructure. Following legislation in Parliament, we will put in place new rules to hold operators to account for the security and resilience of their networks.

Abstract Shooting the Morro: Favela Documentaries and the Politics of Meaning Spencer Winston Stoner, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: Lorraine Leu To many in the global North, the favelas of Rio de Janeiro are the most visible face of violence and poverty in Brazil. While the favela film genre (and its subset, the favela documentary) has received significant study, there is a gap in understanding how these filmic texts are created as a result of individual production processes. How do decisions made during the course of production translate into imaginaries, representations, and on-screen content? This research locates multiple forms of non- fiction video within the wider context of mediated representations of poverty and violence in favelas, identifying the tools, mechanisms, and specific tactics employed by both favela stakeholders and production personnel in the co-production of these often heavily-mediated images. Utilizing key informant interviews with Rio-based documentary production personnel actively shooting in favelas, this research highlights specific production processes to understand how implicit incentive structures embodied in production shape and influence representations of the favela space.

  • Fraser Nelson Editor, the Spectator Media Masters – September 12, 2019 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Fraser Nelson Editor, The Spectator Media Masters – September 12, 2019 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 Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, the world’s oldest weekly magazine. Under his 10-year editorship it has reached a print circulation of over 70,000, the highest in its 190-year history. Previously political editor and associate editor, his roles elsewhere have included political columnist for the News of the World, political editor at the Scotsman, and business reporter with the Times. He is a board director with the Centre for Policy Studies, and the recipient of a number of awards, including the British Society of Magazine Editors’ ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’. Fraser, thank you for joining me. Great pleasure to be here. Allie, who writes these introductions for me, clearly hates me. Editors’ Editor of the Year from the Editors’ Society. What’s that? Yes, it is, because it used to be ‘Editor of the Year’ back in the old days, and then you got this massive inflation, so now every award they give is now Editor of the Year (something or another). I see. Now that leads to a problem, so what do you call the overall award? Yes, the top one. The grand enchilada. Yes. So it’s actually a great honour. They ask other editors to vote every year. Wow. So this isn’t a panel of judges who decides the number one title, it’s other editors, and they vote for who’s going to be the ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’, and you walk off with this lovely big trophy.

  • Life Beyond the Public Sphere: Towards a Networked Model for Political Deliberation
    Life beyond the Public Sphere: Towards a Networked Model for Political Deliberation Dr Axel Bruns Media & Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia [email protected] A rare moment of regime change may be ahead in the short history of Australian parliamentary democracy: for the first time in over a decade, a credible leader of the Labor opposition has emerged, and threatens what even Prime Minister John Howard in an unusually candid assessment has acknowledged may be not only the defeat, but the “annihilation” of the ruling conservative Coalition at the upcoming federal election in late 2007 (Coorey 23 May 2007). Even in spite of such critical self-assessment by the government, however, mainstream journalism in the country has continued to act largely as cheerleaders for the incumbents: in the face of months of public opinion polls showing a significant lead for the opposition over the government, and of fluctuations only well within the margin of error, the Canberra press gallery has nonetheless (mis)interpreted each minute and temporary drop in Labor’s figures as “the end of the honeymoon” for Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd. At the time of writing, both in his personal approval ratings and in the public’s voting intentions as reported in the polls, Rudd and his party continue to be well ahead of the government (Roy Morgan Research 2007), even in spite of the delivery of the 2007/8 federal budget, controversy over Rudd’s wife’s company’s treatment of employees, suggestions that Labor was too closely aligned with belligerent workers’ unions, and critical comments by former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating, each of which had been seen by commentators as undermining Rudd’s and Labor’s new-found popularity (see e.g.

  • Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
    POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.
