  • How the TV Debates Were Organised in #GE2015 and Their Impact: the Full Story
    How the TV debates were organised in #GE2015 and their impact: the full story blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2017/04/19/how-were-the-tv-debates-organised-in-ge2015-and-what-was-their-impact- the-full-story/ 2017-4-19 I wrote the chapter on broadcasting for the Cowley/Kavanagh Election 2015 book. Here is the section on the negotiations that led to the TV ‘debates’ and their impact – for the full chapter and the authoritative record of all aspects of that campaign, get the book here! By Charlie Beckett, Professor in the Department of Media and Communications, LSE and director of Polis, the LSE’s journalism think-tank. @CharlieBeckett In this election broadcasting tried to reflect a changing political landscape. Television in particular was challenged to adjust to the impact of the smaller parties such as the Greens, UKIP and the SNP. Editorially, broadcasters had to cover a diverse range of issues of varying degrees of scale, importance and relevance to different audiences. All journalists, but most obviously broadcasters, found themselves limited in scope by the unprecedented levels of party stage-management. There were the usual concerns about delivering impartiality and information but perhaps the hardest task for the broadcast journalists was to fulfil their key democratic functions at election time: to engage the public and to hold politicians to account. The strategic reluctance of the main parties to conduct more open campaigns meant that the desire for dramatic broadcasting to match the significance of the stakes was frustrated. Like all journalists, broadcasters were also misled by erroneous polling to construct a false narrative around the relative success of the two main parties.

    A WHO Coup to Manipulate You COVID-19, a WHO Coup to Manipulate You: Painting an Alternative Future This article is a companion to We Are Revolting 1 www.antoinettejames.com 2 A WHO Coup to Manipulate You COVID-19, a WHO Coup to Manipulate You: Painting an Alternative Future Voices are proclaiming, “the cure”, world lockdown, is worse than the disease, “COVID-19”. The “cure” is in the hands of the world’s corrupt leaders, puppets of the NGO’s, the elite secret Club of Rome and the United Nations. Together they have shut down societies and economies of the world, to “save” the world, from their deliberately released virus. The elite are using their own Coronavirus as a carrier to a New World Order. They have gagged the world’s population by putting them under house arrest. What is more terrifying, the people are buying the lie. ‘The true genius in advertising is to sell you the solution and the problem’ George Orwell Socialist-Fabián member, author 1984, The Truth is, the United Nations is trying to fast track the nations to the New World Order; COVID-19 deaths are but collateral damage, a means to an end. We the People have been commanded on threat of jail time, to stay indoors and not congregate. Leaving the elite run UN with no opposition, as groups of people cannot gather to protest. The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres (left), gesturing in typical insider Freemason symbolism, was previously President of Socialist International, stated - ‘The pandemic could create an opportunity to rebuild the global economy along more sustainable goals (the tyrannical UN’s Agenda 21/2030).’ His words make sense of all we are experiencing by bully-boy governments.

The century’s most talented photographers, Lee Miller, Norman Parkinson, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Snowdon and Mario Testino among them, have contributed to it. In 1916, when the First World War made transatlantic shipments of American Vogue impossible, its proprietor, Condé Nast, authorised a British edition.

Here I am, in July 2017, completing my Master’s thesis centring around the pulse of the nation. I suppose it is true, unyawo alunampumlo, your feet have no nose. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped make this work possible. Firstly, thank you to uGogo Sizani Ngubane, without her I would never have come to South Africa in the first place. She continues to be a model of hard-work, creativity, leadership and integrity. Secondly, thank you to all the interviewees for their time and honesty. Without all of you, this work would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all that have engaged me in enthralling conversations about South Africa’s contemporary political dynamics. This begins with everyday strangers in taxis to close friends of mine, particularly uMchana Lwandile Noludwe, Pearl Lebogang Nicodemus, Thalib ‘Dada’ Mugen, Sobantu Mzwakali, Ntska Mateta and Tshepo Diseko. Moreover, I feel very fortunate to have friends that are willing to read and honestly critique my work, this includes those just mentioned but also Sergio ‘Satélite’, Manvinder Gill, Francesco Fanti Rovetta, Alexander Gowrliuk, Emma Douglas, Zak ‘Tommie Boi’ Johnson, Nereya Otieno and Ari ‘IQ’ East.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Michael Moore
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MICHAEL MOORE Michael Moore is the most famous, controversial, and commercially successful documentary filmmaker working today. The notoriety surrounding his films has obscured the fact that he is a gifted director who uses a wide range of cinematic techniques to engage, entertain, and provoke his audience. Sicko , his widely acclaimed, no-holds barred attack on the American healthcare system, uses the issue of healthcare to explore larger questions about what kind of country America is. In this discussion presented by the Museum of the Moving Image in collaboration with Variety , Moore spoke passionately about the many questions raised by his film.
