This might be the everyday meanings that humans attach to places bound up with a sense of identity and belonging. It also extends to ways that meanings of place might be created, such as through place making and marketing. Representations of places are important because of the way in which they shape peoples' actions and behaviours, and those of businesses, institutions and governments. Representations also provide a reference point for people's sense of identity, underpinning their attachments to place, particularly in times of change. Attention to meaning highlights the processes of representation through which places are depicted, variously by external agencies and by those who live in them. The meanings and identities ascribed to a place may also be related to its function, both social and economic, in the present and in the past. Places can have multiple meanings and identities, reflecting different perceptions and perspectives. Students should select one of the following topics through which to address the concepts of meaning and representation as applied to place: Place making and marketing, drawing on examples such as regional development agencies, tourist marketing, and property marketing materials.

Preparation gives you a chance to set the agenda, not just respond to events. Don't just engage the media because you can – always use your media work strategically. Ask whether engaging with the media is the best way to get across your message, and if so, how that can be done best. First of all: you need a clear aim . Why contact the media? What message are you trying to convey? Generally an unclear aim results in an unclear message . Don't forget: however complicated the argu- ments for your campaign are you need to keep them simple when using the mainstream media. Now decide who your target audience is.

  • BBC Trust Trust Decision on BBC’S Strategy for Children’S Audio February 2011
    BBC Trust Trust decision on BBC’s Strategy for Children’s Audio February 2011 Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers BBC Trust / Trust decision on BBC’s Strategy for Children’s Audio Contents Summary of Trust Decision 1 1. Background 2 2. Overview of the BBC’s audio strategy for children 5 3. The Trust’s decision 6 February 2011 Summary of Trust Decision As part of the service review of Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 7, we have received a strategic proposal from BBC management on how best to deliver children’s audio content. Alongside our main report, this document sets out our decision to approve this strategy and amend the service licences accordingly. We have decided that the proposed changes do not constitute a significant change to the UK public services under the terms Clause 25 of the Framework Agreement (the Agreement) and that it is not necessary to apply a Public Value Test (PVT) to these plans before approving them. Trust considerations and decisions Providing outstanding children’s content is one of the BBC’s five editorial priorities as set out in the ‘Putting Quality First’ strategy. We believe it is very important that the BBC serves children across all its platforms as part of its public service mission. While the BBC generally serves children very well, particularly on television and online, we regret it has struggled to serve children through its dedicated radio programming – the current offer on Radio 7 reaches very few young listeners and hampers the overall performance of the station.

  • Finding a New Folk Devil:(Mis) Constructing Anti-Capitalist Activists March, 2002
    Working Paper Series Paper 24 Finding a new folk devil: (mis)constructing anti-capitalist activists March, 2002 Fiona Donson, Graeme Chesters, Andy Tickle and Ian Welsh ISBN 1 872330 65 7 1 Finding a new folk devil: (mis)constructing anti-capitalist activists Fiona Donson, Graeme Chesters, Andy Tickle and Ian Welsh “Their aim is clear. They want a violent and bloody conflagration on the streets. They want to … cause anarchy.”1 Abstract The paper will offer an account of how political activists are (mis)constructed as “folk devils” through an examination of recent media coverage in the UK and Czech Republic. It will seek to show how their construction as violent criminals and dangerous anarchists has influenced the treatment of those involved in protests by public authorities in the UK and Prague. The paper will also offer, in juxtaposition to this representation of the current anti-capitalism movement, a discussion of the accounts of activists themselves. In particular it examines the activists’ own perceptions of their engagement in the global social movement against capitalism. The paper is based on evidence derived from preliminary findings from interdisciplinary research into global social movements, and in particular the protests against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Prague in September 2000. 1 The Telegraph, 18/2/01 2 Introduction This paper argues that we are currently witnessing the development of a new type of folk devil. The discussion will consider this claim both in terms of the construction of political activists as a deviant group and the consequences which flow from that construction.
