The challenges presented by the pandemic have further accelerated what we already knew to be true: the world our students enter upon graduation requires a different level of preparation than what we have traditionally provided to them. I am reminded of the parent who once stopped me at a store to share his frustrations about his daughter’s inability to find a job after successfully graduating from one of our CTE programs.

[293764] Mr. Douglas Alexander: The Department for International Development (DFID) has not provided any funding directly to the Tony Blair Faith Foundation (TBFF). We have provided £30,000 to World Vision, who are co-sponsoring a seminar series with the TBFF focusing on the theme of faiths in development.

  • Dismantling Respectability: the Rise of New Womanist Communication
    Journal of Communication ISSN 0021-9916 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Dismantling Respectability: The Rise of New Womanist Communication Models in the Era Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/joc/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/joc/jqz005/5370149 by guest on 07 March 2019 of Black Lives Matter Allissa V. Richardson Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA Legacy media coverage of the Civil Rights Movement often highlighted charismatic male leaders, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., while scores of Black women worked qui- etly in the background. Today’s leaders of the modern Black Lives Matter movement have turned this paradigm on its face. This case study explores the revamped communi- cation styles of four Black feminist organizers who led the early Black Lives Matter Movement of 2014: Brittany Ferrell, Alicia Garza, Brittany Packnett, and Marissa Johnson. Additionally, the study includes Ieshia Evans: a high-profile, independent, anti–police brutality activist. In a series of semi-structured interviews, the women shared that their keen textual and visual dismantling of Black respectability politics led to a mediated hyper-visibility that their forebearers never experienced. The women share the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, and weigh in on the sustain- ability of their communication methods for future Black social movements. Keywords: Black Feminism, Political Communication, Twitter, Respectability Politics, Social Movements. doi:10.1093/joc/jqz005 Brittany Ferrell remembered the tear gas most. As a frontline demonstrator during what came to be known as the Ferguson protests in August 2014, she recalled the unimaginable sting in her lungs and nose as she gasped for air.

  • Brace Yourselves – This Election Will See Even More Political Adverts. It Won't Be Pretty
    7/10/2019 Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won't be pretty Academic rigour, journalistic flair Subscribe Fourth estate follies Trawling through the dustbins of the UK media Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won’t be pretty February 23, 2015 6.20pm GMT Author John Jewell Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University Sometimes political advertising can backfire. Freakangels.com, CC BY-SA The extraordinary resignation of its chief political editor, Peter Oborne, from the Daily Telegraph has given us cause to think about the importance of corporate influence in journalism and the significance of advertising revenue to newspapers. As these events occurred, the paper’s Ben Riley-Smith was providing us with further proof, if any were needed, that advertising will play a major part in May’s general election. In a Telegraph article which asked whether Britain was entering an “new era” of political attack ads, Riley-Smith drew attention to the fact that the Conservatives had been posting a series of short videos (none of them lasting more than a minute) on YouTube concentrating on Ed Miliband’s supposed https://theconversation.com/brace-yourselves-this-election-will-see-even-more-political-adverts-it-wont-be-pretty-37934 1/5 7/10/2019 Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won't be pretty incompetence and the Labour party’s general untrustworthiness. One, posted on Feb 3, is a 16-second head rush called: “The SNP and Sinn Fein propping up Ed Miliband? Chaos for Britain”.

  • THE ANDREW MARR SHOW INTERVIEW: DOUGLAS ALEXANDER MP SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY MAY 6 Th 2012
    PLEASE NOTE “THE ANDREW MARR SHOW” MUST BE CREDITED IF ANY PART OF THIS TRANSCRIPT IS USED THE ANDREW MARR SHOW INTERVIEW: DOUGLAS ALEXANDER MP SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY MAY 6 th 2012 ANDREW MARR: And now back to our own elections. Labour may have picked up more than 800 council seats and talk of replacing Ed Miliband as Leader before the next election may be suddenly going a bit quiet, but a share of the vote of 38 per cent is less than David Cameron enjoyed two years before the last General Election and that wasn’t enough to give him a majority at Westminster, so what must Labour now do to try to capitalise on this undoubted boost? Douglas Alexander is Shadow Foreign Secretary and one of Ed Miliband’s key strategists. So clearly a good result for Labour and some important results in Scotland which we’ll come onto in a moment. And yet you know again and again we’ve had mid-term local election results under Labour, under the Conservatives in the past, which haven’t followed through to General Elections, so what’s the strategy for what happens next? DOUGLAS ALEXANDER: Well let’s try and understand what we saw this week. I mean of course we saw real progress for Labour not just in the South of England but in the North of Scotland, but we have to accept that this was actually a damning verdict on the Conservatives as much as it was a judgement on the progress that Labour has made. This is a government that promised that they had a plan to get the economy moving, and now 1 we’ve seen a double dip recession, rising unemployment, flat-lining growth, a plan that just has failed.

  • The Matter of Black Lives a New Kind of Movement Found Its Moment
    The Matter of Black Lives A new kind of movement found its moment. What will its future be? By Jelani Cobb, THE NEW YORKER, March 14, 2016 On February 18th, as part of the official recognition of Black History Month, President Obama met with a group of African-American leaders at the White House to discuss civil-rights issues. The guests—who included Representative John Lewis, of Georgia; Sherrilyn Ifill, the director- counsel of the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund; and Wade Henderson, who heads the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights—were intent on pressing the President to act decisively on criminal-justice issues during his last year in office. Their urgency, though, was tempered by a degree of sentimentality, verging on nostalgia. As Ifill later told me, “We were very much aware that this was the last Black History Month of this Presidency.” But the meeting was also billed as the “first of its kind,” in that it would bring together different generations of activists. To that end, the White House had invited DeRay Mckesson, Brittany Packnett, and Aislinn Pulley, all of whom are prominent figures in Black Lives Matter, which had come into existence—amid the flash points of the George Zimmerman trial; Michael Brown’s death, in Ferguson, Missouri; and the massacre at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church, in Charleston, South Carolina—during Obama’s second term. Black Lives Matter has been described as “not your grandfather’s civil-rights movement,” to distinguish its tactics and its philosophy from those of nineteen-sixties-style activism.
