  • Helen Peacocke with the Copper Kettles Made by Her Father
    Castaway oxfordtimes.co.uk Helen Peacocke with the copper kettles made by her father Photographs: Antony Moore 8 Oxfordshire Limited Edition April 2013 oxfordtimes.co.uk Castaway Sylvia Vetta talks to author, journalist and dog walker Helen Peacocke s a young woman, Helen Helen with Peacocke made a mental list of her border all the things she would like to collie do before she reached the age puppy A of 70. That landmark arrives Barnaby this month — so has she managed to get everything done? “There is still one thing left to do,” Helen revealed. “I want to do a parachute jump from a plane.” This month’s castaway on our desert island, Helen will be well known to regular readers of The Oxford Times as she has written for the newspaper almost every week for 23 years. Working for the newspaper also helped her achieve many of her ambitions — including drinking vintage champagne while soaring above the countryside in a hot air balloon. All in the name of science you understand. But Helen had lived several lives before she sat at her desk at the newspaper’s office in Osney Mead. She was born at the Acland Hospital, Oxford, on March 30, 1943, and brought up in Eynsham. Indeed Helen Richards, as she then was, came from an Oxfordshire family that would not seem out of place in Lark Rise to Candleford. Her grandfather (Helen cannot remember his name) was blacksmith in Burford, and her father, Alfred Harper Richards (better known as Jim. also had metalworking skills. Standing in the open fireplace of Helen’s charming cottage in Eynsham are a set of gleaming copper kettles made by her father, He was obviously a fine craftsman because the spouts are slender and elegant — no mean achievement.

  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict
    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).

  • POETS "Democratic Deficit 2021
    DEMOCRATIC DEFICIT 2021 Who decides Oxfordshire’s Future? An update by POETS (Planning Oxfordshire’s Environment and Transport Sustainably) February 2021 Authors Chris Cousins, former head of sustainable development at Oxfordshire County Council Elizabeth Wilson, associate lecturer in environmental planning, Oxford Brookes University David Young, former director of environmental services at Oxfordshire County Council Democratic Deficit – Who decides Oxfordshire’s future? February 2021 Executive Summary Democracy is under threat all round the world. In the last year our lives in Oxfordshire have been affected by The shrinking of local and national news media The failure so far to hold meaningful consultation on the growth agenda across Oxfordshire and the wider Oxford to Cambridge Arc The continuing impoverishment and enfeeblement of local authorities by increasingly centralised national government. The gagging of local councillors in South Oxfordshire, prohibited from developing their Local Plan The growth of misinformation and conspiracy claims There are many other instances of democratic deficit. There is a risk that as they become more commonplace we no longer routinely notice them, with a real danger of the country collectively sleepwalking its way to the loss of any real local democracy. This paper looks at what has been happening in the past year, drawing together many different strands with particular reference to Oxfordshire, and makes recommendations about how we can seek to reverse these trends. It is broken down into three parts: Part one - An Overview – page 2 Part two - A Growing Deficit: where we are today – page 4 Part three - Recommendations – page 14 Oxford Times Editorial 17 December 2020: “…[councillors] were told by Housing Minister Robert Jenrick, in an extraordinary affront to local democracy, that they had to accept the plan or he would impose it on them by force…Given the Government has cut funding to local authorities, one wonders what they envision the future to look like for councils in this country.
