  • 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.

  • Wapping-Gate Exposes Serious Questions About the Ethics of UK Journalism and the Collusion of Media, Politics and Security Forces
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/07/27/ethics-journalism/ Wapping-gate exposes serious questions about the ethics of UK journalism and the collusion of media, politics and security forces A broad debate is needed about ethics in journalism and how to enforce them without impeding on press freedom when it comes to matters of genuine public interest, writes Bart Cammaerts. There is a long standing tradition in this country (as in many others) that if you want to remove something from the public debate because it is too controversial or damaging and there is an urgent need to move on, you announce an all-encompassing independent inquiry preferably broad in scope which will self-evidently need ample time, resources and a more sober, rational, atmosphere to come to any kind of conclusions. Wapping-gate is no different; at least three parallel processes have been put in motion to come to terms with all that happened – or rather did not happen. However, despite the efforts of several actors in this ever- evolving scandal to try and put a lid on it, they failed miserably. “The worst is still to come”, Rebekah Brooks told the flabbergasted journalists at News of the World after the decision to close down the Sunday newspaper. One wonders how much worse it can get? The one chasing the scandals has become the scandal, but one of a much bigger proportion than any scandal it ever reported itself. For many political observers this was a scandal waiting to happen, surprising really that it took so long.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The BBC and Henry VIII's Heirs
    The BBC and Henry VIII’s Heirs Richard Danbury 2020-11-13T17:21:17 Once again, the BBC is under pressure. Once again, the British Government is briefing hostile newspapers about how both it, and its sister public service broadcaster, Channel 4, are in the firing line. Once again, dark clouds gather over its future, which has been called into question. The licence fee, the hypothecated tax that provides the corporation with its revenue, has been under threat in the past, but this time, it’s proved the lightning rod for more dissent, with a citizen’s campaign to defund the BBC. How did we get here? Where should we go? Where will we go? Where we were One way of looking forward is to look back. Specifically, to 1528. That does sound like an extravagant claim but bear with me. 1528 was the date when the English authorities – then in the figure of King Henry VIII and his Council in Star Chamber – started to regulate the English printing trade. But he wasn’t breaking new ground in regulating the flow of information. Many years before even Henry, the doctrine of scandalum magnatum was developed, which made illegal ‘disgraceful words against eminent persons’. Indeed, the 1275 Statute of Westminster, which introduced the offence, railed against what it called ‘false news’ centuries before Donald Trump. It did not matter – and I’ll come back to this – that what you were saying was true. The greater the truth, they said, the greater the libel, on the grounds that true words were more likely to sow dissent, and so more likely to be harmful to the King’s Peace.
