    REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 14 June 2019) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £795 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass.’ Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting.

  • ORDER DENYING MEDIA CREDENTIALS V
    27-CR-20-12646 Filed in District Court State of Minnesota 3/24/2021 3:27 PM STATE OF MINNESOTA DISTRICT COURT COUNTY OF HENNEPIN FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT State of Minnesota, Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING MEDIA CREDENTIALS v. Court File No. 27-CR-20-12646 Derek Michael Chauvin, Defendant. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd died while being subdued and taken into custody by Minneapolis Police officers. Within hours of his arrest and death, cell-phone video of the incident was posted to social media and spread widely and quickly across the internet. Public anger over Mr. Floyd’s death—fueled and informed by the cell-phone video—sparked days of civil unrest in the Twin Cities, ranging from massive peaceful protests and marches to widespread property damage. This outpouring of public grief and anger was not unique to Minnesota: protests and marches related to Mr. Floyd’s death occurred across the United States and throughout the world. Mr. Floyd’s death received intense and sustained coverage in the local, national, and international press. In the days following Mr. Floyd’s death, prosecutors brought criminal charges against the four former Minneapolis Police officers involved in the incident: Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao. As part of pre-trial litigation in these cases, counsel for Thomas Lane filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Probable Cause on July 7, 2020. Lane attached a number of exhibits in support of his Motion, including video footage from Lane’s and Kueng’s body-worn cameras 1 27-CR-20-12646 Filed in District Court State of Minnesota 3/24/2021 3:27 PM showing parts of the officers’ interactions with Mr.

  • You Are What You Read
    You are what you read? How newspaper readership is related to views BY BOBBY DUFFY AND LAURA ROWDEN MORI's Social Research Institute works closely with national government, local public services and the not-for-profit sector to understand what works in terms of service delivery, to provide robust evidence for policy makers, and to help politicians understand public priorities. Bobby Duffy is a Research Director and Laura Rowden is a Research Executive in MORI’s Social Research Institute. Contents Summary and conclusions 1 National priorities 5 Who reads what 18 Explaining why attitudes vary 22 Trust and influence 28 Summary and conclusions There is disagreement about the extent to which the media reflect or form opinions. Some believe that they set the agenda but do not tell people what to think about any particular issue, some (often the media themselves) suggest that their power has been overplayed and they mostly just reflect the concerns of the public or other interests, while others suggest they have enormous influence. It is this last view that has gained most support recently. It is argued that as we have become more isolated from each other the media plays a more important role in informing us. At the same time the distinction between reporting and comment has been blurred, and the scope for shaping opinions is therefore greater than ever. Some believe that newspapers have also become more proactive, picking up or even instigating campaigns on single issues of public concern, such as fuel duty or Clause 28. This study aims to shed some more light on newspaper influence, by examining how responses to a key question – what people see as the most important issues facing Britain – vary between readers of different newspapers.
