  • The Realities of War: Recognising and Planning for the Decisive Role of Media on the Urban Battlefield
    The realities of war: recognising and planning for the decisive role of media on the urban battlefield Charles Knight and Li Ji With a journalist’s perspective from Hugh Riminton EuroISME Occasional Paper No. 3 The Realities of War: Recognising and Planning for the Decisive Role of Media on the Urban Battlefield How does the Army bridge the philosophical gap between perceptions of bloodless precision and the reality of close combat? by Charles Knight PhD Li Ji PhD With a Journalist’s Perspective from Hugh Riminton Cover image: © Kudleka, ‘Don’t shoot.’ EuroISME gratefully acknowledges the generous permission of Jon Kudelka. The cartoon appeared first in The Australian of 18 November 2004. During the battle for Fallujah in 2004, a wounded Iraqi prisoner was filmed being shot by a US marine. This cartoon was in response to the ensuing attack on the cameraman for filming the event and was a comment on the level of control of the media in the Iraq war. The cartoon was drawn many years ago but it still has relevance today. Although control of the message is nearly impossible given the rise of social media and portable cameras, this won’t, of course, stop people trying.

  • The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword
    English Chess Federation The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword I played chess actively for a decade, racking up hundreds of games every year. Although my fanatical playing days are behind me, the welfare of chess, both in England and internationally, is still an overriding passion for me. After my election in 2009, I was determined to use the ECF Presidency as a force for good throughout the chess community. My predecessor Gerry Walsh made enormous advances in promoting the English game and its players all over the world and I hope to be able to continue this work. However, it is no secret that the domestic situation has deteriorated recently and this will be the focus of my attention. England is still a significant chess power and I believe the casual attitude of merely 'punching above our weight' is no longer relevant. The stunning successes of the Staunton Memorial and the London Chess Classic proved the country is capable of staging magnificent world class events and it is essential we build on this in the coming years. We have an amazing array of wonderfully talented players, at every level of the game, and their passion and enthusiasm can only be inspiring for those that work to enhance the situation for chess. I cannot promise miracles but I will promise to listen to any individual, club, league or tournament that has anything to say. I am travelling extensively to meet people, within the chess community, government and business, to establish relationships which can be used in order to further the ambitions of the ECF and its members.

  • The Foreign Future of Correspondents in China
    View online Hi there The foreign future of correspondents in China It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that China doesn’t trust and has something to fear from foreign correspondents. This year alone, 17 American journalists have been ousted from the country; and this week, the abrupt departure of Australia’s only two correspondents have cast an even gloomier cloud over Australia-China relations. For both the ABC’s Bill Birtles in Beijing and the Australian Financial Review ’s Mike Smith in Shanghai it was a sad and frightening way to leave a posting. Both reporters had been warned by Australian consular officials days before they fled that their freedom was at risk. As they started to pack their suitcases and bid farewell to colleagues and friends, they received synchronised, unexpected midnight visits from uniformed police informing them they’d be prevented from leaving the country and would need to submit themselves for questioning on a matter of ‘national security’. Birtles left his apartment to shelter at the embassy in Beijing whilst Smith took refuge at the consulate in Shanghai. Both journalists submitted to interviews with the Chinese authorities in exchange for safe passage out of the country. The national security issue their interlocutors were eager to explore was the detention of Australian television presenter Cheng Lei, confirmed by Beijing only a few days ago. Birtles and Smith had both met the journalist though neither of them knew her well. But of the questioning, Bill Birtles said: 'It felt very, very political. It felt like a diplomatic tussle in a broader Australian-China relationship more than anything specific related to that case'.
