    In Radio, you have two tools… Sound and Silence.’ Ira Glass ‘And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.’ Christiane Amanpour ‘On TV the people can see it. On radio you've got to create it.’ Bob Uecker 1 2 ACADEMIC PLAN/INSTRUCTIONS 1. The Post Graduate Diploma in Radio and TV Journalism begins on August 1, 2018 and ends on May 31, 2019. 2. The Academic Session is divided into two terms: Term I : August- December 2018 Term II : January - May 2019 3. The first term will broadly concentrate on providing students the conceptual inputs and on acquisition of the skills needed for Broadcast Journalism. The second term will be mostly devoted to honing of these skills and giving the students a practical exposure to various aspects of the functioning of media. 4. Evaluation will be done on the basis of what the students have learnt through the theory and the practical work done. Each term will have such evaluation and the credits will be aggregated. A student will be expected to gain a minimum of 40% marks in each paper (both theory and practical). 5. To help them relate the learning of concepts with practice, students will be attached to a media organization for internship in the month of May. Each student will be expected to submit a report to the Institute on his/her internship experience. Internship is mandatory, without which the diploma will not be awarded. 6. Each student will be expected to attend a minimum of 75% of the classes including the practical sessions.

    Manual for preserving and digitising AV archives Produced by Ina as part of the MedMem project, based on recommendations from the SNRT and other partners. July 2011 1 2 Forward This manual on preserving audiovisual or broadcast archives has been drawn up on the basis of recommendations made by the SNRT and other partners of the MedMem project during their meeting in Alexandria in December 2010 We hope that the manual will be a guide to Medmem’s partners for several years, helping them to: Set up preventative conservation measures Share experiences and good practices Continue with or set up a preservation and digitisation programme Devise tangible arguments to convince their management of the urgent necessity to have such a programme To do this we have written the manual in four parts: The sales pitch: why preserve and digitise archives? First steps: where to begin? How to set up a pilot study? Methods: How to design a preservation plan. How to set it up. The manual is particularly based on the contributions of Jean Verra and Jean-Noël Gouyet at the Ina Sup course “Assessing an AV collection and creating a strategy to preserve and digitise it”. Throughout the manual there are references to various “good practices”, some of which are drawn on the experiences of broadcasters around the Mediterranean. The manual has been written by Camille Martin and Ina’s engineering department, working closely with the MedMem project’s organisers. Ina, Bry-sur-Marne July 2011 3 Contents 1.

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.

As federal regulations of those stations loosen and fewer owners increase their holdings across the country, however, local community needs are subjugated by corporate fiduciary responsibilities. Business practices reveal rampant consolidation of ownership, newsroom job description convergence, skilled human labor replaced by computer automation, and economically-driven downsizings, all in the name of profit.

    LECTURE CONTENT: CONTROL ROOM DESIGN • Signal path – from production to consumer • Production operators team • The editorial staff • Newsroom computer system • Automation software • Media asset managemen Lecture 2 Faculty of Technical Sciences Public university in K.Mitrovica assist.prof. Kristijan Kuk 3 Theory This chapter describes the general factors within control room designs and how the ergonomics and/or staff within the control room could affect the results. There will also be an explanation of all the different staff needed to create a newscast. A technical description of different system and protocols needed to create a television production, and how they are used will also be executed. 3.1 Control room design Design and the structural layouts of control rooms have lots of per-reviewed reviews and investigations, especially within the nuclear power plant control rooms and army- based control rooms. The actual design of television control rooms hasn’t got as much attention. This section will therefore describe the overall concerns and benefits of using different control room designs, mainly from the human factor but also some technical aspects will be taken into consideration. 3.1.1 Control room ergonomics A control room is a physical location where a physical facility or physically distributed service can be monitored and controlled (Bennett 1955). In the television industry, there are different types of control rooms, serving different proposes with the aim of transmitting a video signal to the distributer and viewer. When designing a Control room from scratch, a method called Top Down approach could be used (Figure 3.1). The top down approach describes the different phases a control room goes through when developed, constructed and evaluated.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the BBC
    Written evidence submitted by the BBC The DCMS Sub-committee on Online Harms and Disinformation Covid-19 Inquiry April 2020 Executive summary 1. The BBC is the leading public service broadcaster in the UK, with a mission to inform, educate and entertain. Our first public purpose is to provide impartial news and information to help people understand and engage with the world around them, and we deliver this across national, local and global news services.1 2. The Editorial Guidelines are the standards that underpin all our journalism, at all times, including during the Covid-19 pandemic. They apply to all our content, wherever and however it is received. Producing and upholding these Editorial Guidelines is an obligation across the BBC and all output made in accordance with these Editorial Guidelines fulfills our public purposes and meets and goes beyond the requirements of our regulator, Ofcom. 3. Coverage of Covid-19 is dominating the UK news across all platforms. And with a plethora of cross platform content, people are most likely to turn to the BBC’s TV, radio and online services for the latest news on the pandemic (82%)2, significantly more than any other source. 4. BBC News has attracted record audiences across platforms with our nations and regions, UK wide and international coverage highlighting the importance of impartial and accurate news at this time. 5. The BBC remains the UK’s primary source for news. In a world of fake news and disinformation online, audiences said they turn to the BBC for a reliable take on events and this reputation for accuracy and trust sends audiences to the BBC during breaking news and to verify facts.3 During the Covid-19 pandemic 83% of people trust coverage on BBC TV4; and audiences from the UK and around the world have come to BBC News in their millions to stay informed and seek trusted advice on how they can protect themselves and those most at risk.
