  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • Why Journalism Matters a Media Standards Trust Series
    Why Journalism Matters A Media Standards Trust series Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times The British Academy, Wednesday 15 th July These are the best of times and the worst of times if you happen to be a journalist, especially if you are a business journalist. The best, because our profession has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to report, analyse and comment on the most serious financial crisis since the Great Crash of 1929. The worst of times, because the news business is suffering from the cyclical shock of a deep recession and the structural change driven by the internet revolution. This twin shock has led to a loss of nerve in some quarters, particularly in the newspaper industry. Last week, during a trip to Colorado and Silicon Valley, I was peppered with questions about the health of the Financial Times . The FT was in the pink, I replied, to some surprise. A distinguished New York Times reporter remained unconvinced. “We’re all in the same boat,” he said,”but at least we’re all going down together.” My task tonight is not to preside over a wake, but to make the case for journalism, to explain why a free press and media have a vital role to play in an open democratic society. I would also like to offer some pointers for the future, highlighting the challenges facing what we now call the mainstream media and making some modest suggestions on how good journalism can not only survive but thrive in the digital age. Let me begin on a personal note.

Today I’m here in New York and joined by Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost. Appointed in 2016, she previously spent 15 years at the New York Times where she served as foreign correspondent in Africa and Asia. She received numerous awards for her work, including a George Polk award for her coverage of ethnic violence in Darfur in 2006.

Lydia, thank you for joining me. It’s a pleasure to be here. So Lydia, editor-in-chief of HuffPost, obviously an iconic brand with an amazing history. Where are you going to take it next? Well, I think past is prologue and the future is unknown. Oh, that’s good. I like that already. We’re starting off on the deeply profound. Continue! Well, I think for media right now, it’s a really fascinating moment of both rediscovery of our roots – and those roots really lie in what’s at the core of journalism, which is exposing things that weren’t meant to be known, or that people, important people especially, don’t want to be known, and bringing them to light.

  • Telegraph Media Group
    Competition & Markets Authority Market study interim report - Online platforms and digital advertising Response to Key Questions INTRODUCTION Telegraph Media Group (TMG) – publisher of The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, telegraph.co.uk and other digital products - is a leading provider of high quality journalism in the UK and globally. Our stories and investigations – including such ground-breaking work as the MPs’ expenses scandal - play a vital role in driving content across the media. Like other news publishers, Google and Facebook are the most important digital platforms for our business. However, the internet and the availability of news on these platforms has changed consumer habits, and such change has brought a decline in circulation and advertising revenues in a way which has put huge pressure on revenues and profitability, and therefore longer term sustainability. CMA Recommendations We are generally in agreement with the CMA’s findings and recommendations, but have some reservations. We strongly support the development and implementation of a code of conduct. However, we have concerns that a UK-only based code of conduct, even if backed by robust enforcement measures, may not be adequate in itself to provide an effective remedy. Platforms operate across multiple countries and can take advantage of jurisdictional fragmentation, and whilst we acknowledge the innovation and technical benefits that vertical integration brings to the market, we are concerned about the conflict of interest created and associated self-preferencing behaviour. For these reasons, we believe that ownership separation of SSP and DSP services is required. However, in order to minimise disruption and address challenges such as increased latency, friction and sub-optimal user experiences and so forth, separation must be underpinned by the implementation of transparency and interoperability requirements, and a data sharing framework.

    Fraser Nelson Editor, The Spectator Media Masters – September 12, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, the world’s oldest weekly magazine. Under his 10-year editorship it has reached a print circulation of over 70,000, the highest in its 190-year history. Previously political editor and associate editor, his roles elsewhere have included political columnist for the News of the World, political editor at the Scotsman, and business reporter with the Times. He is a board director with the Centre for Policy Studies, and the recipient of a number of awards, including the British Society of Magazine Editors’ ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’. Fraser, thank you for joining me. Great pleasure to be here. Allie, who writes these introductions for me, clearly hates me. Editors’ Editor of the Year from the Editors’ Society. What’s that? Yes, it is, because it used to be ‘Editor of the Year’ back in the old days, and then you got this massive inflation, so now every award they give is now Editor of the Year (something or another). I see. Now that leads to a problem, so what do you call the overall award? Yes, the top one. The grand enchilada. Yes. So it’s actually a great honour. They ask other editors to vote every year. Wow. So this isn’t a panel of judges who decides the number one title, it’s other editors, and they vote for who’s going to be the ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’, and you walk off with this lovely big trophy.

  • Life Beyond the Public Sphere: Towards a Networked Model for Political Deliberation
    Life beyond the Public Sphere: Towards a Networked Model for Political Deliberation Dr Axel Bruns Media & Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia [email protected] A rare moment of regime change may be ahead in the short history of Australian parliamentary democracy: for the first time in over a decade, a credible leader of the Labor opposition has emerged, and threatens what even Prime Minister John Howard in an unusually candid assessment has acknowledged may be not only the defeat, but the “annihilation” of the ruling conservative Coalition at the upcoming federal election in late 2007 (Coorey 23 May 2007). Even in spite of such critical self-assessment by the government, however, mainstream journalism in the country has continued to act largely as cheerleaders for the incumbents: in the face of months of public opinion polls showing a significant lead for the opposition over the government, and of fluctuations only well within the margin of error, the Canberra press gallery has nonetheless (mis)interpreted each minute and temporary drop in Labor’s figures as “the end of the honeymoon” for Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd. At the time of writing, both in his personal approval ratings and in the public’s voting intentions as reported in the polls, Rudd and his party continue to be well ahead of the government (Roy Morgan Research 2007), even in spite of the delivery of the 2007/8 federal budget, controversy over Rudd’s wife’s company’s treatment of employees, suggestions that Labor was too closely aligned with belligerent workers’ unions, and critical comments by former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating, each of which had been seen by commentators as undermining Rudd’s and Labor’s new-found popularity (see e.g.

  • Response to the Call for Evidence on Sustainable High-Quality Journalism in the UK
    Response to the call for evidence on sustainable high-quality journalism in the UK Introduction The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is the independent regulator of most of the UK’s newspaper and magazine industry. We regulate over 1,500 print titles and 1,100 online titles, comprising 95% of national daily newspapers (by circulation) and the majority of local and regional newspapers. Our experience of regulating a diverse range of publications means that we are in a unique position to provide evidence on sustainable high quality journalism in the UK. We promote high quality journalism by enforcing editorial standards; holding publications to account; protecting the rights of individuals; and helping to maintain freedom of expression for the press. We regularly engage with senior leaders across the industry, including editors, senior managers, journalists and other professionals. IPSO’s framework is one of voluntary self-regulation underpinned by legally enforceable contractual agreements. It is not obligatory for publishers to join IPSO but those that have done so set themselves apart by choosing to be independently regulated and held accountable to an agreed set of standards, the Editors’ Code of Practice.1 To demonstrate their regulatory compliance, we require that our member publishers submit an annual statement2 which shows how they approach editorial standards, complaints- handling, and training. We do not require information on business models, commercial practices or financial stability. We are, therefore not in a position to answer all questions in this consultation, but have responded where our specialist knowledge and experience will make a valuable contribution. Question 1 The Review’s objective is to establish how far and by what means we can secure a sustainable future for high-quality journalism, particularly for news.
