While there is no dearth of people seeking employment in this ever in demand media machine, sustainability is a major issue especially given recession driven cutbacks. The creative talents that this field draws more often than not lack the financial know-how required to even stay afloat when so many enterprises are sinking around the world.

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.

In 2014, Harvard researchers asked 2,500 American adults what causes stress in their daily lives. Forty percent admitted that “watching, reading, or listening to the news” was one of their top life stressors.1 Since then, more studies have shown that learning about bad news hurts our mental health more than listening to good news helps our mental health.2 Unfortunately, the media spends more time focusing on bad news than good news.

  • Chapter 1.2 Notes.Pdf
    Describing Distributions with Numbers To Describe the Center (the C in SOCS) we use mean and median. The Mean: x (lower case letter used!) • The average of a set of observations. • If the n observations are x1, x 2 ,....., x n , their mean is x+ x +..... + x ∑ xi x = 1 2 n x = n or in more compact notation n • Sensitive to the influence of a few extreme observations . • A skewed distribution will pull the mean toward its long tail. • Not a resistant measure of center . • For example: Which way is this data skewed? Where is the mean likely to be? The Median : the midpoint of the data such that half of the observations are smaller and half are larger Do you think that the median is more or less resistant than the mean? To find the median: 1. Arrange all observation in order of size, from smallest to largest. 2. if n is odd: median = center observation 3. if n is even: median = the average of the two center observations Example: Find the mean and the median of the following data sets. 1. 3 5 6 6 8 10 11 2. 18 22 22 23 24 26 27 27 Mean vs. Median • What is an example of a data sample that the median gives you more information than the mean? • Symmetrical distribution: mean = median. • Skewed distribution: the mean is farther out in the long tail than is the median. (Extreme data points pull the mean toward them and the median is more resistant). • If you are looking at the age of the students in this classroom would you use mean or median? What if you also included the teacher? To Describe the Spread (the S in SOCS) we use the quartiles and the variance.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.
