Cameron has still to work with and through ministers from his own party, but has also to work with and through Liberal Democrat ministers; not least the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. The relationship between the prime minister and his deputy is unchartered territory for recent academic study of the British prime minister. This article explores how Cameron and Clegg operate within both Whitehall and Westminster: the cabinet arrangements; the prime minister’s patronage, advisory resources and more informal mechanisms.

  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .

  • Hacking Affair Is Not Over – but What Would a Second Leveson Inquiry Achieve?
    7/10/2019 Hacking affair is not over – but what would a second Leveson inquiry achieve? Academic rigour, journalistic flair Hacking affair is not over – but what would a second Leveson inquiry achieve? July 25, 2014 3.57pm BST Author John Jewell Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University On we go. Ian Nicholson/PA In the latest episode in the long-running saga that is the phone hacking affair, Dan Evans, a former journalist at the News of the World and Sunday Mirror, has received a 10 month suspended sentence after being convicted of two counts of phone hacking, one of making illegal payments to officials, and one of perverting the course of justice. Coming so soon after the conviction of Andy Coulson and the acquittal of Rebekah Brooks and others, one could be forgiven for assuming that the whole phone hacking business is now done and dusted. Not a bit of it. As Julian Petley has written: “Eleven more trials are due to take place involving 20 current or former Sun and News of the World journalists, who are accused variously of making illegal payments to public officials, conspiring to intercept voicemail and accessing data on stolen mobile phones.” We also learned in June that Scotland Yard had officially told Rupert Murdoch of their intention to interview him as part of their inquiry into allegations of crime at his British newspapers. The Guardian revealed that Murdoch was first contacted in 2013, but the police ceded to his lawyers’ request that any interrogation should wait until the Coulson–Brooks trial had finished.

  • Before the Murdoch Takeover: New Evidence Indicating the Need for a Further “Fit and Proper” Review
    Before the Murdoch takeover: new evidence indicating the need for a further “Fit and Proper” review AVAAZ, 8th March 2017. Submission for Karen Bradley, Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport Introduction An acquisition of Sky Plc. by 21st Century Fox (21CF) would result in a major expansion of the influence of the Murdoch Family Trust (MFT) over Sky. In 2012 Ofcom was highly critical of the role of James Murdoch who was CEO and Chairman of News International during the period of criminal and other reprehensible conduct at that organisation. This submission details a long list of wrongdoings and criminal misgovernance that has emerged since Ofcom reviewed the licenses held by BSkyB in 2012. It also draws attention to an unfolding sexual harassment epidemic being unearthed at Fox News in the US. The Secretary of State notes in her 6th March 2017 letter1 to 21CF and Sky that 21CF’s record of compliance with the broadcasting code might reflect on the culture or corporate governance at 21CF. The “huge failings of corporate governance” at News Corporation, the precursor company to 21CF were noted in the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on News International and Phone Hacking and the Secretary of State herself acknowledges that James Murdoch’s actions during this time was a “failure of corporate governance.” The shocking scale of corporate misgovernance and criminal conduct make it incumbent upon the Secretary of State to exercise her powers under Section 58(3) of the Communications Act 2003, to refer the Sky bid on broader public interest grounds than those she currently says she is minded to exercise.

  • Caught in the Net
    Caught in the Net An analysis of the Guardian’s first venture into online journalism Simen Hunding Strømme Master Thesis in Modern International and Transnational History Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2020 Caught in the Net An analysis of the Guardian’s first venture into online journalism i © 2020 Simen Hunding Strømme Caught in the Net An analysis of the Guardian’s first venture into online journalism Simen Hunding Strømme www.duo.uio.no ii Abstract This thesis examines the early period of internet journalism in Britain between 1993 and 2001. By undertaking a qualitative case study of London based newspaper, the Guardian, the thesis explores how newspapers started to consider online journalism as not only a new way of doing business, but as a completely new genre of journalism. In 1998, the Guardian was ranked the ninth biggest among twelve national daily newspapers in terms of circulation, but by 2001 its website was the most popular newspaper website in the country. The Guardian’s venture into online journalism began in 1995, when a team of developer known as the New Media Lab was tasked to develop a strategy for online publishing. Over the next few years, several web projects were launched, with varying level of success before pinnacling in a network of websites, Guardian Unlimited in 1999. The increasingly larger focus on the internet as both a tool and platform for publishing, which did not unfold without discontent and critique from advocates of traditional news making, changed the way the Guardian and other newspapers saw their media product and themselves as a company.

  • We Note You Have Failed to Provide Any New Evidence Sufficient to Support What Amount to Very Serious Allegations
    We note you have failed to provide any new evidence sufficient to support what amount to very serious allegations. This inevitably leads us to question the motives of the New York Times. It seems to us that your investigation has always been tainted by a vested interest in its outcome which means it is in serious and multiple breach of your own ethical guidelines. As you should know, [the hacking issue was] examined extensively by the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee over an eight-month period leading up to publication of its report “Press standards, privacy and libel” on 24 February this year. Every area addressed by your questions has already been the subject of detailed oral and/or written evidence and, in particular, put to, and answered by, our executives during public hearings conducted by the Committee. Your letter goes on to refer to unattributed conversations with “former reporters and editors” who make a number of unsubstantiated claims and then to a specific claim made by Matt Driscoll. He had a very difficult relationship with the newspaper, which included disciplinary action for inaccurate reporting . [His] termination was later challenged at an employment tribunal in an acrimonious case which we vigorously defended, but which Mr. Driscoll won. This should, I hope, make you exercise caution in your assessment of what Mr. Driscoll has told you. Failure to make your readers aware of why Mr. Driscoll’s comments may not be entirely objective would be a clear case of bias. For this reason, you should also exercise extreme caution in your approach to what you are told by any “former reporters and editors” and your readers should be made aware of any reasons why their views may be biased.
