This was not always the case. Women in particular were excluded from many areas of public discourse. Reaching back into the 19th century, the distinction between public and private spheres was an ideological one. As men moved out of the home to work and acquired increasing power, the public world inhabited by men became identified with influence and control, the private with moral value and support.

  • 29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian
    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.

  • Shots Were Fired | Norient.Com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke
    Shots Were Fired | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 02:06:01 Shots Were Fired MIXTAPE by Bernard Clarke War is the biggest and most horrible drama of human kind. Yet the noises of war – everything from swords clanging to modern machine guns and bombs – have fascinated musicians and composers for centuries. For his mix «shots were fired» for the section «war» from the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds the Irish radio journalist Bernard Clarke combined radio news samples with musically deconstructed war sounds. «shots were fired» is a deeply personal response to a tragedy and farce played out in a Paris dripping with blood and a media whipping up a frenzy; to and of the forgotten victims in France and around the world; and of and to the so-called world leaders who seized on this outrage for a media opportunity, a «selfie». Western societies are not the havens of rationalism that they often proclaim themselves to be. The West is a polychromatic space, in which both freedom of thought and tightly regulated speech exist, and in which disavowals of deadly violence happen at the same time as clandestine torture. And yet, at moments when Western societies consider themselves under attack, the discourse is quickly dominated by an ahistorical fantasy of long- suffering fortitude in the face of provocation. Yet European and American history are so strongly marked by efforts to control speech that the persecution of rebellious thought stands as a bedrock of these societies. Witch burnings, heresy trials, and the untiring work of the Inquisition shaped Europe, and these ideas extended into American history as well and took on American modes, from the breaking of slaves to the genocide of American Indians to censuring of critics of «Operation Iraqi Freedom».

  • Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry Into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall
    Statement to the Oireachtas Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis in Ireland Ed Mulhall The starting premise for a discussion of RTÉ's editorial policy on the coverage of any area of public interest is that there is no single expression of it. RTÉ's output is based on a set of principles which are derived from its statutory obligations. These principles form the framework for editorial decision making and there is an editorial structure in place to monitor, discuss and challenge the editorial selections being made so as to ensure they are being adhered to. In addition, all RTÉ's activities are subject to a regulatory structure to ensure that the organisation is meeting its public service obligations. Those working in editorial roles in RTÉ operate under a shared understanding of RTÉ’s obligations under various statutes, notably the 1976 Broadcasting Act as amended and the 2009 Broadcasting Act. In RTÉ News, this translates into a very simple premise: inform the audience in the public interest. The political scientist Jean Blondel - in an essay written in honour of the late RTÉ broadcaster Brian Farrell - calls the role to inform the noblest of tasks because it is the most difficult. It requires the reporting of facts, sometimes the establishment of facts, their selection according to their importance and the presentation of them with related material to allow their meaning or significance to be understood. What is important to report in the public interest is a constantly evolving question that is impacted on by events and does not adhere to any fixed state of national consensus.
