  • A Quiet Revolution
    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.

  • Freelance Journalism in the 21St Century: Challenges and Opportunities
    Freelance Journalism in the 21st Century: Challenges and Opportunities Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2016 Tiana Templeman Master of Creative Industries ABSTRACT Despite a declining number of staff writers at major publications and a growing reliance on freelancers, there has been minimal dedicated research on Australian freelance journalists’ careers and their role in the 21st century news industry. A mixed-methods and explanatory sequential design underpinned by informed grounded theory was used to conduct this study which found the industry skills, working life and professional identity of Australia’s freelance journalists continue to be shaped by an industry undergoing rapid change. It also discovered that the concept of what constitutes freelance journalism had been transformed and existing industry definitions did not reflect the role in the 21st century. The findings indicated that, while freelance journalists were unable to influence some aspects of their role within the media industry, the changes had created new work opportunities and the chance for freelance journalists to develop new skills and diversity in their careers. The need for freelance journalists to specialise in order to increase their employability was highlighted as was their rising significance within the journalism industry due to the dwindling number of staff writers. The findings indicated that freelancers should adapt to and harness industry changes in order to succeed in their careers. The study identified a significant gap in the learning framework developed by leading educators, especially given the rise of freelance journalism in the 21st century, and the fact more employment opportunities for journalists exist outside media organisations than within them.

    Episode 100: “Pilot” Raymond “Red” Reddington ................................ James Spader Harold Cooper ....................................................... Harry Lennix Elizabeth Keen ..................................................... Megan Boone Tom Keen ............................................................... Ryan Eggold Donald Ressler .............................................. Diego Klattenhoff Ranko Zamani ...................................................... Jamie Jackson Following decades on the Most Wanted list, Raymond “Red” Reddington surrenders to FBI assistant director of counterterrorism Harold Cooper and offers to deliver Ranko Zamani, a Serbian terrorist thought to have died years ago. When Red refuses to cooperate further until he can speak with Elizabeth Keen, a rookie agent and criminal profiler, agent Donald Ressler intercepts her on her way to work and whisks her away to the covert operations center where Red is being held. Surprising Liz with how much he knows about her, Red reveals that Zamani is planning to kidnap general Daniel Ryker’s eight‐year‐old daughter, Beth. After calling her husband Tom to say she won’t be at a meeting to finalize their adoption of a new baby, Liz is escorting Beth to safety when some suspicious roadwork along their route is revealed to be an elaborate trap set by Zamani’s men. Leaving a scene of death and destruction in their wake, the kidnappers escape with Beth. As Liz concludes that Zamani is seeking to avenge the deaths of his own children during the Bosnian civil war, Red leads her to a bomb maker and Zamani henchman known as the Chemist. But when Liz finds her husband badly beaten and being held hostage at home, Zamani claims he’s done with the Chemist anyway and escapes after stabbing Tom, leaving Liz struggling to save him.
