Xi Jinping, “Work Together to Build the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” Xinhua, May 14, 2017, http://xinhuanet.com/english/2017- 05/14/c_136282982.htm; “One Belt, One Road” is the literal translation of the Chinese name for the initiative (一带一路). Although China initially translated the initiative into English as “One Belt, One Road,” it shifted and began referring to it as the “Belt and Road Initiative” in English (while not changing the Chinese characters used). In making this change, China could have been attempting to recast Belt and Road as more of an open-ended undertaking rather than one with a singular geostrategic thrust. This report uses Belt and Road Initiative, or BRI, in keeping with the new official translation. 4. For example, in 1999 China introduced a “Go West” campaign, which sought to build oil and gas pipelines between Western China and Central Asia. Some of these projects, which predate BRI, have now been subsumed under the BRI brand. 5. For the purposes of this report, the following 139 countries are counted as participants in BRI: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Chile, Comoros, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, Georgia, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guinea, Guyana, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, 116 Endnotes Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Niue, North Macedonia, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, South Korea, Republic of the Congo, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, The Gambia, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

  • The GOP's Disgusting Crusade to Discredit Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Questioning and Criticizing Dr. Blase
    To: Interested Parties From: NARAL Pro-Choice America Date: September 19, 2018 In Their Own Words: The GOP’s Disgusting Crusade to Discredit Dr. Christine Blasey Ford After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford bravely spoke out about allegations of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual assault, Senate Republicans have launched a full-fledged attack on Dr. Blasey Ford, offering textbook examples of how not to treat survivors of sexual violence. ​ ​ Throughout the nomination process, Senate Republicans have desperately tried to paint Brett Kavanaugh as an “ally to women” to downplay the very real threat he poses to Roe v. Wade. ​ ​ But by attacking Dr. Blasey Ford, they have reached a new low. As Anita Hill said in a recent ​ op-ed, “The weight of the government should not be used to destroy the lives of witnesses who ​ are called to testify.” The statements below range from insulting Dr. Blasey Ford to blaming the victim by empathizing with Kavanaugh, following a playbook we’ve seen used before. They are further proof that the GOP is putting Dr. Blasey Ford on trial and trying to undermine, intimidate, and shame her because they realize Brett Kavanaugh’s long history of lying destroys his credibility. He is simply unfit to serve and his nomination must be withdrawn. Questioning And Criticizing Dr. Blasey Ford Trump said it’s “very hard for me to imagine anything happened” along the lines of Dr. Blasey Ford’s allegation. He said: "Look: If she shows up and makes a credible showing, ​ that'll be very interesting, and we'll have to make a decision, but … very hard for me to imagine anything happened.” [Twitter, 9/19/18] ​ ​ ​ Sen.

  • Accuracy, Independence, Impartiality
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford ACCURACY, INDEPENDENCE, AND IMPARTIALITY: How legacy media and digital natives approach standards in the digital age by Kellie Riordan Trinity Term 2014 Sponsor: Australian Broadcasting Corporation 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the digital age, one of the most complex challenges for media outlets is how to re- shape the editorial responsibilities of journalism itself. Which journalistic standards, many devised last century, still fit in the digital age? And which standards form the basis of a new type of journalism being pioneered by hybrid news sites that have come of age in the digital era? This paper focuses on the key editorial standards of accuracy, independence, and impartiality, and examines how these three principles are approached in the digital era. The paper then concentrates on three legacy organisations (the Guardian, the New York Times, and the BBC) and three digital outlets (Quartz, BuzzFeed, and Vice News) and the measures each outlet takes to uphold editorial integrity. Based on interviews with a wide range of industry experts, scholars and representatives of both traditional and new media, the paper asks two key questions: what can legacy organisations with hundreds of years of history learn from how digital natives approach standards? Which traditional journalistic standards held by legacy organisations should be more firmly adopted by newcomers? Finally, this paper argues a third form of journalism is emerging; one that combines the best of legacy standards with the new approaches of digital natives. Such a hybrid form requires a more streamlined, contemporary set of editorial standards that fit the internet era.

SY: Good morning everybody. Thanks for coming to this panel and presentation on the IMF Regional Economic Outlook and for making it on time. I don’t know what’s happening with the traffic today but I see we have a full room so thanks. At this current juncture there are lots of questions about Africa and about the narrative of Africa rising and all the positive messages that we have had during the previous decade or so. So I think it is very timely that we’re having this event today because it will help us really separate fact from fiction and take a realistic look at what is happening on the continent. For us that don’t have the capacity and the budget of the IMF the regional economic outlook is really a Godsend because it’s really a treasure of facts, data analysis that we can use to leverage our work on Africa.

  • 1 “The Lies of Donald Trump: a Taxonomy”
    Prepared for publication in The Trump Presidency and Executive Power, edited by Charles Lamb (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming, 2019). “The Lies of Donald Trump: A Taxonomy” James P. Pfiffner George Mason University Abstract The most important lies of Donald Trump differ significantly from previous presidential lies. Other presidents have lied for a variety of reasons, from legitimate lies concerning national security to trivial misstatements, to shading the truth, to avoiding embarrassment, to serious lies of policy deception. The paper distinguishes four types of Trump’s lies: 1) trivial lies, 2) exaggerations and self aggrandizing lies; 3) lies to deceive the public; and 4) egregious lies. It then analyzes the consequences of lies with respect to misinformation encoding and the relationship of lies to loyalty and power. The most serious lies of Donald Trump were egregious false statements that were demonstrably contrary to well known facts. The paper concludes that his lies were detrimental to the democratic process, and that his continued adherence to demonstrably false statements undermined enlightenment epistemology and corroded the premises of liberal democracy. All presidents lie. In fact, virtually all humans lie. This observation may lead some to a cynical conclusion of moral equivalence: all politicians lie, so they are all corrupt and deserving of contempt. But it is an abdication of moral and civic responsibility to refuse to distinguish justified, trivial, serious, and egregious lies.1 The most important lies of Donald Trump differ significantly from previous presidential lies. Other presidents have lied for a variety of reasons, from legitimate lies concerning national security, to trivial misstatements, to shading the truth, to avoiding embarrassment, to serious lies of policy deception ( Pfiffner 1999, 2004a, 2004b).

  • Navigating the New Media Landscape
    IPI ReportProduced in Partnership with Uhe Poynter Institute Brave News Worlds Navigating the New Media Landscape Preface or the past three years, discussions about the future of the news media have centered Fon the decline of the so-called golden age of journalism and the descent into a chaos characterised by splintered audiences, decimated balance sheets, and the muscling-in of amateurs. Fearing that their halcyon days as the guardians of information are num- bered, many editors and journalists have engaged in collective navel-gazing, asking themselves: What went wrong? But is the future really so bleak? Is the decline a global phenomenon? Are we moving into a new ‘golden age’? And what does it mean for press freedom? To find answers to these pressing questions, the International Press Institute teamed up with the Poynter Institute, one of the premier journalism training centers in the world, to set out on a global investigation assembling an international group of editors, jour- nalists, visionaries and sceptics to discover how the future of the news is developing around the world. The result is that after a 10-year absence, the IPI Report series has returned, revamped and reinvigorated with a new edition entitled “Brave News Worlds”, a report that charts the exciting times ahead for the news media and uncovers the many different global perspectives thereof. Picking up where the IPI Report series left off in 2000, “Brave News Worlds” explores what the next 10 years hold for the news and journalism industry and offers insight into how journalists and non-journalists alike can take advantage of changes in the media and technology to make the future of news a bright one.
