Analysis of the BBC News online coverage of the Iraq War Abstract The BBC and its coverage of the 2003 Iraq War have received much criticism as well as much praise around the world. Some observers have attacked the news coverage of the BBC, claiming it was clearly biased in support of the war, serving as a propaganda tool for the British government. Others have credited the BBC for its in-depth reporting from the war zone, juxtaposing it to the blatantly patriotic U.S. news coverage. This chapter examines the news coverage the BBC provided on its Web site during the 2003 Iraq War and analyzes the themes and Web-specific eaturf es used to enhance war reporting.

  • Racialisation, Relationality and Riots
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institute of Education EPrints 100 racialisation, relationality and riots: intersections and interpellations Aisha Phoenix and Ann Phoenix abstract This paper takes up Avtar Brah’s (1999) invitation to write back to the issues she raises in her mapping of the production of gendered, classed and racialised subjectivities in west London. It addresses two topics that, together, illuminate racialised and gendered interpellation and psychosocial processes. The paper is divided into two main sections. The first draws on empirical research on the transition to motherhood conducted in east London to consider one mother’s experience of giving birth in the local maternity hospital. The maternity ward constituted a site where racialised difference became salient, leading her to construct her maternal identity by asserting her difference from Bangladeshi mothers and so self-racialising, as well as ‘othering’ Bangladeshi mothers. The paper analyses the ways in which her biography may help to explain why her experience of the maternity hospital interpellates her into racialised positioning. The second section focuses on media responses to the riots in various English cities in August 2011. It examines the ways in which some media punditry racialised the riots and inclusion in the British postcolonial nation. The paper analyses three sets of commentaries and illuminates the ways in which they racialise the debate in essentialising ways, reproducing themes that were identified in the 1980s as ‘new racism’ and apportioning blame for the riots to ‘black gangster culture’. While these media pronouncements focus on racialisation, they are intersectional in implicitly also invoking gender and social class.

  • The BBC Goes Blogging: Is ‘Auntie’ Finally Listening?
    The BBC goes blogging: Is ‘Auntie’ finally listening? By Alfred Hermida Abstract This study examines how the world's largest news organization, the BBC, has sought to incorporate blogging in its journalism, both as a format for new journalistic thinking and as a platform for greater accountability and transparency. The research covers a period of seven years, from 2001 to 2008, when the BBC came under intense scrutiny over its journalism and mechanisms for public accountability. It is based on an analysis of internal and public policy documents produced by the BBC, blog content on BBC and personal websites and the personal recollections of senior editors at the corporation. The findings suggest that the BBC is approaching blogging as a tool to enhance trust with audiences through expanded transparency and accountability, in an attempt to transform its historical elitist attitude towards its audiences. But, at the same time, the BBC is grappling with fitting this online format within its long-established journalism norms and practices, seeking to normalize blogs within existing journalistic frameworks. Keywords: accountability, BBC, broadcasting, blogs, Internet, journalism, news, transparency Alfred Hermida Assistant Professor Graduate School of Journalism 6388 Crescent Road University of British Columbia Vancouver V6T 1Z2 Canada Tel: +1 604 827 3540 E-mail: [email protected] Page 1 The BBC goes blogging: Is ‘Auntie’ finally listening? Introduction This paper examines how the BBC has adopted the new media technology of blogging as a tool of accountability and transparency in its journalism, offering an important case study of the relationship between culture, innovation and the news in the United Kingdom.
