This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure? This article focuses on Twitter, now a widely used tool in the newsroom, analysing the Twitter output of 10 UK political correspondents during the busy party conference season.

  • The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media Response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee's Call
    Written evidence submitted by DMG Media The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s call for evidence 1. This response is made on behalf of DMG Media, the publishers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Metro, Metro.co.uk, the ‘i’ and inews. It is being submitted because BBC online news competes for audience with our digital titles and we are concerned that funding changes could give the BBC an unfair advantage. 2. DMG Media is not a broadcaster, and public service broadcasters have by longstanding convention not published newspapers. Therefore, whilst over the decades our news titles and the BBC may have had political and cultural differences, they have not been commercial rivals. 3. However the coming of the digital age has changed that. The philosophical foundation of the BBC was that in return for public funding and access to scarce broadcast spectrum, it would develop then-new technology (radio and television) and use it to provide, in addition to education and entertainment, an impartial news service. The written word was not part of its remit. 4. The unlimited possibilities of the internet have destroyed the rationale of that arrangement. Satellite, cable, and now streaming have brought new competitors into the entertainment market, global players with vastly greater resources than the BBC. 5. The BBC is dependent for funding on the licence fee, over which successive governments have resolutely retained control, doubtless believing that a national broadcaster which has to regularly come to the government of the day with a begging bowl is more likely to be compliant.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand.
