  • BBC Panorama / Sunday Times Investigation
    20 November 2019 BBC Panorama / Sunday Times investigation We write to you following the BBC Panorama and Sunday Times joint investigation which found evidence the Ministry of Defence and some elements within the Armed Forces have repeatedly covered up evidence of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The allegations of an apparent cover up are profoundly disturbing and a stain on the reputation of the United Kingdom as a global human rights leader. Adherence by the UK to international humanitarian law and accountability for breaches of it are important for the safety of UK forces in conflict. The abuse reported includes serious allegations about British soldiers’ involvement in the murder of children and torture and killing of civilians. The report found investigations into allegations of misconduct in Afghanistan (Operation Northmoor) and Iraq (Iraq Historic Allegations Team, IHAT) had established credible evidence of serious abuse. The report suggests this was covered up. In some cases, the report found senior officers misrepresented witnesses’ accounts and failed to involve the service police; in others the service police conducted what were described as wholly inadequate investigations. Significantly, the joint investigation also concludes that there was a systematic failure to investigate who gave the orders, and who might bear command responsibility, finding that IHAT detectives were blocked by the MoD from investigating the culpability of the chain of command. Despite this evidence, these investigations were almost completely closed down by the then UK government in 2017. The government sought to justify the closure of IHAT because many of its investigations were based on cases brought by Phil Shiner, one of the solicitors who led the Iraq claims, and was struck off for misconduct.

  • 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.

  • New News, Future News the Challenges for Television News After Digital Switch-Over
    New News, Future News The challenges for television news after Digital Switch-over An Ofcom discussion document Publication date: 26 June 2007 Foreword The prospects for television news in a fully digital era are a central element in any consideration of the future of public service broadcasting (PSB). News is regarded by viewers as the most important of all the PSB genres, and television remains by far the most used source of news for UK citizens. The role of news and information as part of the democratic process is long established, and its status is specifically underpinned in the Communications Act 2003. This report, New News, Future News, is one of a series of Ofcom studies focussing on individual topics identified in the PSB Review of 2004/05, and further discussed in the Digital PSB report of July 2006. The others are on the provision of children’s programmes and on the prospects for a Public Service Publisher. All three studies are linked to areas of particular PSB concern for the future, and set out a framework for policy consideration ahead of the next full PSB review. Other Ofcom work of relevance includes the review of Channel 4’s funding. It has not been the role of this report to come up with solutions, and no policy recommendations are put forward. Instead, the report examines the environment in which television news currently operates, and assesses how that may change in future (after digital switch-over and, in 2014, the expiry of current Channel 3 and Channel 5 licences) . It identifies particular issues that will need to be addressed and suggests some specific questions that may need to be answered.

  • The Wireless News
    The Wireless News © 2017 Bart Lee, K6VK For well over a century, radio has provided ships at sea and their well-off passengers with current news of the world (and at times, war news), market data and sports. From Marconi’s wireless telegraph to satellite delivery, the wireless news has been indispensible to voyagers of many sorts, especially on transoceanic routes. Steamship lines saw money to be made in providing this amenity. The technologies of commu- nications and of the printing of newspapers at sea paced each other. Many of these seagoing “newspapers” themselves tell nautical tales and social stories about their readers. But they also illumine their producers in Europe, North America, and Asia, including the shipping lines, the shoreside press, and the radiomen at sea. The radio technology evolved from long waves to satellites, and from spark sets to vacuum tube gear and then to modern solid-state circuits. A demand for current information at sea, far from its sources, created an important maritime revenue stream. The economics of news at sea and the higher socio-economic class of the passengers helped to further the development of the radio art. Introduction – Young Marconi should be preserved and a special edi- Started It tion of The Transatlantic Times was News for passengers and crew at sea, run off for the benefit of the Seamen’s sent through the ether by “wireless Fund at a dollar a copy. ‘Through the telegraphy,” started with Marconi, as courtesy of Mr. G.
