A quiet revolution The moral economies shaping journalists’ use of NGO-provided multimedia in mainstream news about Africa Katherine Wright Goldsmiths, University of London A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Media and Communications 2014 1 Declaration I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, nor material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of the university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. 2 Acknowledgements With grateful thanks to my study participants for their time, trust and candour - without you there would be no study. I also want to thank my supervisor, Natalie Fenton, who manages to combine the sharpest of minds with the warmest of hearts. Your support has meant so much to me over the past few years. The encouragement and constructive criticism of others at Goldsmiths has also been invaluable, especially Aeron Davis, Des Freedman and Gholam Khiabany, who all kindly read drafts of chapters for me. Next, I want to note my debt to my dear colleagues in Journalism at the University of Roehampton. I especially want to thank Ros Coward, whose passionate belief that practitioners should ‘get into’ research started me off down this route in the first place. In addition, the words of advice and support from colleagues at other institutions have been really helpful, especially those of Mel Bunce, Lilie Chouliaraki, Glenda Cooper, Nick Couldry, Shani Orgad, Chris Paterson, Martin Scott, Helen Yanacopulos and Silvio Waisbord.

There is a clear divide between the companies who are on the ‘right side’ of the shifts in the market and those that are on the wrong side of them.” It’s very difficult to disentangle the chaos created by COVID-19 and Brexit, Mr. Roome said. “However, prior to the COVID-19 crisis hitting, executives were starting to become more wary about a relocation to the U.K. Brexit uncertainty puts doubts in the mind For all the challenges that 2020 has brought to the executive search of leaders who might be considering London as a home – the industry in London – from COVID-19, a global economy under personal factors are often as important, or more important, than the pressure, and continuing worries over Brexit – recruiters are looking professional factors.” ahead to the new year with a certain degree of optimism and even confidence.

BBC Trust review of the BBC’s network news and current affairs Terms of Reference 16 September 2013 Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers BBC Network News and Current Affairs review: terms of reference Background The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC. We are here to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers and one of the ways we do this is by carrying out an in-depth review of each of the BBC’s services at least once every five years. This review is looking at the BBC’s network news and current affairs output. The BBC’s journalistic output lies at the heart of its public service remit, and providing the ‘best journalism in the world’ is the foremost of the BBC’s five editorial priorities. We have publicly reviewed parts of BBC news and current affairs, primarily through our impartiality reviews, reviews of services which carry news and current affairs output (such as BBC One, Radio 4 etc.), and our annual assessment of the delivery of the BBC’s public purpose commitments relating to news and current affairs. However, with the exceptions of those services for which news is the primary or core purpose (such as 5 live and the BBC News Channel), our service reviews have only covered news and current affairs output at a relatively high level. So, in order for the Trust to ensure that output in this very important genre is as good as it can be, we have decided to consider the performance of BBC news and current affairs in the round.

BNS0023 Written Evidence Submitted by Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon
BNS0023 Written evidence submitted by Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon, Thinking the Unthinkable (TTU) project1 CONFRONTING GLOBAL THREATS AND DISRUPTION: HOW TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO THINK UNTHINKABLES Summary There is a natural institutional and personal resistance to Think the Unthinkable for major risks that are wrongly considered to be unlikely. The devastating nature of the subsequent shocks to our society from COVID-19 has obviously reinforced what our TTU work had already identified and warned about. It is the imperative to work and think more radically, whatever the professional and career risk in doing so. That does not come easy in government. Indeed, there are formidable in-built, institutional drag chains and resistances. Our focus is not just on the effectiveness of the bodies and institutions named and set out in the formal ambitions for this enquiry.2 It must also be about the human inefficiencies and vulnerabilities of those who work in them, and ultimately their relationships to those who make the final political decisions. However new realities within public service mean there is the likelihood of even greater risk aversion and professional fear among even the most talented, just when the opposite is needed. Our TTU work highlights how conformity and conformist attitudes are core limiters to the breadth or perceptions now needed to embrace unthinkables. That conformity carries a high cost. Our published work3 has already concluded that the conformity which qualifies many leaders for the top now disqualifies most of them from accepting, embracing then dealing with the new scale of risk and disruption. We are not optimistic that current cultures, mindsets and behaviours are anywhere close to being primed and prepared for innovating or transforming at the speed and scale that are necessary.
