All Journalism Is Not the Same: a Case Study
Volume 1 number 1 Journalism Education page 105 All journalism is not the same: a case study Tor Clark, De Montfort University Introduction The Leveson Inquiry casts journalism in a bad light, but we all know all journalism is not the same: the best journalism should be distinguished from the minority which threatens to tarnish the reputation of the entire profession. Journalists should never miss an opportunity to promote the fact most journalism is ethical and responsible. In regional journalism the difference is most obviously that journalists are very close to their consumers and therefore have to be more responsive to them. This short commentary piece investigates a classic exam- ple of this dichotomy in Leicestershire, where the coverage of the disappearance of local girl Madeleine Mc- Cann in 2007 was treated in diametrically opposed ways by local outlets and by the national tabloid media. The fifth anniversary in 2012 of the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann will be marked by retrospective features in national and regional media. It is ironic that the media’s coverage of the case has made so many headlines itself. But this case demonstrated as well as any other single story over those years the gap in standards between the regional media and the national tabloid press – and it is the redtop and mid-market tabloids on which many people make their judgements of journalism as a whole. Three-year-old Leicestershire girl Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 3, 2007. This case inspired more coverage than any other of its kind, before or since.

The Educational Backgrounds of Leading Journalists
The Educational Backgrounds of Leading Journalists June 2006 NOT FOR PUBLICATION BEFORE 00.01 HOURS THURSDAY JUNE 15TH 2006 1 Foreword by Sir Peter Lampl In a number of recent studies the Sutton Trust has highlighted the predominance of those from private schools in the country’s leading and high profile professions1. In law, we found that almost 70% of barristers in the top chambers had attended fee-paying schools, and, more worryingly, that the young partners in so called ‘magic circle’ law firms were now more likely than their equivalents of 20 years ago to have been independently-educated. In politics, we showed that one third of MPs had attended independent schools, and this rose to 42% among those holding most power in the main political parties. Now, with this study, we have found that leading news and current affairs journalists – those figures who are so central in shaping public opinion and national debate – are more likely than not to have been to independent schools which educate just 7% of the population. Of the top 100 journalists in 2006, 54% were independently educated an increase from 49% in 1986. Not only does this say something about the state of our education system, but it also raises questions about the nature of the media’s relationship with society: is it healthy that those who are most influential in determining and interpreting the news agenda have educational backgrounds that are so different to the vast majority of the population? What is clear is that an independent school education offers a tremendous boost to the life chances of young people, making it more likely that they will attain highly in school exams, attend the country’s leading universities and gain access to the highest and most prestigious professions.

These are two partially matching applications relating to some of the claims made against the defendant (NGN) alleging phone hacking and other unlawful activities in relation to several claimants, though the impact of the applications is capable of being felt in an unknown number of cases which might be launched in the future. Putting the matter shortly, the position is as follows. Like many other claimants before them, 4 claimants seek to make claims about such activities against NGN as proprietor of the former News of the World newspaper. There is no problem about that in these applications, though I have previously ruled on whether they are entitled to plead the full extent of wrongdoing that they sought to rely on. They also seek to make claims against the Sun newspaper, of which NGN is also the proprietor.

News – the thing that helped people understand their world; that oiled the wheels of society; that pollinated communities; that kept the powerful honest – news was broken. The problem had many different names and diagnoses. Some thought we were drowning in too much news; others feared we were in danger of becoming newsless.
