A Quiet Revolution
A quiet revolution The moral economies shaping journalists’ use of NGO-provided multimedia in mainstream news about Africa Katherine Wright Goldsmiths, University of London A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Media and Communications 2014 1 Declaration I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, nor material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of the university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. 2 Acknowledgements With grateful thanks to my study participants for their time, trust and candour - without you there would be no study. I also want to thank my supervisor, Natalie Fenton, who manages to combine the sharpest of minds with the warmest of hearts. Your support has meant so much to me over the past few years. The encouragement and constructive criticism of others at Goldsmiths has also been invaluable, especially Aeron Davis, Des Freedman and Gholam Khiabany, who all kindly read drafts of chapters for me. Next, I want to note my debt to my dear colleagues in Journalism at the University of Roehampton. I especially want to thank Ros Coward, whose passionate belief that practitioners should ‘get into’ research started me off down this route in the first place. In addition, the words of advice and support from colleagues at other institutions have been really helpful, especially those of Mel Bunce, Lilie Chouliaraki, Glenda Cooper, Nick Couldry, Shani Orgad, Chris Paterson, Martin Scott, Helen Yanacopulos and Silvio Waisbord. -
Wikileaks and the Institutional Framework for National Security Disclosures
THE YALE LAW JOURNAL PATRICIA L. BELLIA WikiLeaks and the Institutional Framework for National Security Disclosures ABSTRACT. WikiLeaks' successive disclosures of classified U.S. documents throughout 2010 and 2011 invite comparison to publishers' decisions forty years ago to release portions of the Pentagon Papers, the classified analytic history of U.S. policy in Vietnam. The analogy is a powerful weapon for WikiLeaks' defenders. The Supreme Court's decision in the Pentagon Papers case signaled that the task of weighing whether to publicly disclose leaked national security information would fall to publishers, not the executive or the courts, at least in the absence of an exceedingly grave threat of harm. The lessons of the PentagonPapers case for WikiLeaks, however, are more complicated than they may first appear. The Court's per curiam opinion masks areas of substantial disagreement as well as a number of shared assumptions among the Court's members. Specifically, the Pentagon Papers case reflects an institutional framework for downstream disclosure of leaked national security information, under which publishers within the reach of U.S. law would weigh the potential harms and benefits of disclosure against the backdrop of potential criminal penalties and recognized journalistic norms. The WikiLeaks disclosures show the instability of this framework by revealing new challenges for controlling the downstream disclosure of leaked information and the corresponding likelihood of "unintermediated" disclosure by an insider; the risks of non-media intermediaries attempting to curtail such disclosures, in response to government pressure or otherwise; and the pressing need to prevent and respond to leaks at the source.

The Puzzle of Media Power: Notes Toward a Materialist Approach
International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), 319–334 1932–8036/20140005 The Puzzle of Media Power: Notes Toward a Materialist Approach DES FREEDMAN Goldsmiths, University of London In any consideration of the relationship between communication and global power shifts and of the ways in which the media are implicated in new dynamics of power, the concept of media power is frequently invoked as a vital agent of social and communicative change. This article sets out to develop a materialist approach to media power that acknowledges its role in social reproduction through the circulation of symbolic goods but suggests that we also need an understanding of media power that focuses on the relationships between actors, institutions, and contexts that organize the allocation of material resources concentrated in the media. It is hardly controversial to suggest that the media are powerful social actors, but what is the nature of this power? Does it refer to people, institutions, processes, or capacities? If we are to understand the role of communication as it relates to contemporary circumstances of neoliberalism, globalization, cosmopolitanism, and digitalization (which this special section sets out to consider), then we need a definition of media power that is sufficiently complex and robust to evaluate its channels, networks, participants, and implications. This article suggests that, just as power is not a tangible property visible only in its exercise, media power is best conceived as a relationship between different interests engaged in struggles for a range of objectives that include legitimation, influence, control, status, and, increasingly, profit. Strangely, one of the clearest metaphors for media power in recent years involves a horse. -

Download Valuing Radio
Valuing Radio How commercial radio contributes to the UK A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Radio The data within Valuing Radio is largely drawn from a 2018 survey of Radiocentre members. It is supplemented by additional research which is sourced individually. Contents 01 Introduction 03 Overview and recommendations 05 The public value of commercial radio • News and information • Economic value • Charity and community 21 Commercial radio people 27 Future of radio Introduction The APPG on Commercial Radio helps provide this important industry with a voice in parliament. With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK. -
The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence. -

Opening Remarks CBA: Live in Kingston Kay Osborne, Board Member, CBA and General Manager, TV Jamaica Monday July 18Th 2011
Opening Remarks CBA: Live in Kingston Kay Osborne, Board Member, CBA and General Manager, TV Jamaica Monday July 18th 2011 My name is Kay Osborne and I welcome you this evening, not in my usual TVJ role, but as a CBA board member, welcoming you on behalf of the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association. The CBA is the largest global association of broadcasters with a UK based Secretariat. With more than 100 members in over 50 countries, the CBA promotes media freedom and broadcast excellence, and supports members by providing a forum for knowledge exchange and learning, offering training opportunities and bursaries to the employees of member organizations. CBA members in Jamaica are RJR Communications Group and CVM. Associate members are CPTC and the Broadcasting Commission. This reception is part of a 3 event CBA engagement with Caribbean broadcast journalists. Information on the other 2 events, a training workshop for journalists and producers, and the production of a television programme, will be forthcoming momentarily. This CBA engagement on media and democracy, media and politics, media and corruption and media bias is well timed. Nothing rachets up debate on these issues like a general election and elections are due in Jamaica and in 2 other Caribbean countries next year. In addition, the Manatt enquiry that was broadcast live on television and the publication of Wikileaks stories by one then two newspapers have stimulated debate on media’s role in a democracy. Debate on these issues rages elsewhere. The use of Social Media in the Middle East and North Africa has led to unprecedented change towards democracy in some Arab countries. -
