But the marketplace tells another story – memoir grabs hold of us, Sue Joseph imparting insight about each other and, in so doing, about ourselves. For it is the resonant echo of a shared sensibility – a shared pain or grief or joy – that binds us to these narratives and to each other, creating community among the wronged, the disenfranchised, the abused, the survivors, the ill and the traumatised. Dismissed by some scholars in this neo-liberal age as too self-obsessed, such tales can still attract vast audiences around the

  • 7. Kristie LU STOUT – CNN INTERNATIONAL
    Bio & Policy Statement from A Nominee for Correspondent Member Governor 7 Board of Governors 2021-2022 Kristie LU STOUT Affiliation: CNN INTERNATIONAL POLICY STATEMENT I am honored to be nominated again as a Correspondent Governor of the Foreign Correspondents' Club, a thriving social center and world-renowned press club. Over the last year, I have served as a co-convener of the Wall Committee, helping to bring a series of powerful exhibits to the Club’s Van Es Wall including a selection of iconic photographs of the violent insurrection and historic inauguration in America. The committee is also proud to showcase an exhibit of images by the brave photojournalists of Frontier Myanmar who are chronicling the bold protests and brutal crackdown inside the country. As a Correspondent Governor, I have also served as an active member of the Professional Committee, helping to organize a number of speaking events for the Club including panel discussions on topics ranging from the coronavirus pandemic to anti-Asian violence in America, as well as in-depth conversations with authors including Sichuan culinary expert Fuchsia Dunlop and award-winning journalist Stan Grant. Previously, as a proud member of the club, I have been involved as a moderator, speaker, and panelist for numerous FCC panels and Journalism Day conferences. I have had the opportunity to share my views on digital transformation, misinformation, and gender equality, while speaking alongside my respected peers on how we have covered major events in the region. If again elected to the board, I would continue to contribute to the already powerful line-up of FCC exhibits and events that inform journalists and educate the greater community.

  • 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.

  • Anti-War Movement Online, Preprint
    The UK Anti-War Movement Online: Uses and Limitations of Internet 1 Technologies for Contemporary Activism Kevin Gillan, University of Manchester [email protected] Abstract This article uses interviews with committed anti-war and peace activists to offer an overview of both the benefits and challenges that social movements derive from new communication technologies. It shows contemporary political activism to be intensely informational; dependent on the sensitive adoption of a wide range of communication technologies. A hyperlink analysis is then employed to map the UK anti-war movement as it appears online. Through comparing these two sets of data it becomes possible to contrast the online practices of the UK anti-war movement with its offline ‘reality’. When encountered away from the Web recent anti-war contention is grounded in national-level political realities and internally divided by its political diversity but to the extent that experience of the movement is mediated online, it routinely transcends national and political boundaries. Keywords Anti-war movement; Internet; email; hyperlink analysis. This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the Information Communication & Society , 2008 © Taylor and Francis. Information Communication & Society is available online at: http://journalsonline.tandf.co.uk/ 1 Introduction – Connecting the ‘Virtual’ and the ‘Real’ Internet communication has become vital to social movement organizations and participation in the latest anti-war movements has been boosted by activists’ Internet practices (Nah, Veenstra and Shah 2006). The more central the Internet has come to political activism, the more it has become the route through which individuals first experience key collective actors.

  • Transcripts and Video from the 2018 Communities in Control Conference and from Previous Years, Visit
    Another Sorry Day: and no closer to equality Presentation by Stan Grant Journalist, presenter Communities in Control Conference Melbourne, Monday, May 28, 2018 (Watch this as a video | Listen here) About the presentation: It’s been ten years since Kevin Rudd apologised in Parliament for the profound grief, suffering and loss inflicted on this country’s Aboriginal and Islander people by laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments. Ten years on, we are still waiting for the healing and change Rudd envisioned. Two days after National Sorry Day, Indigenous Affairs Editor for the ABC and special advisor to the prime minister on Indigenous constitutional recognition reflects on this famous apology and questions just how we can Close the Gap and end the inequality. Denis Moriarty On Saturday I, along with many other Australians, reflected on our history - a very specific part of our history; one that we are not proud of, nor should we be. Two days ago was National Sorry Day, a day designed to prompt us to remember and commemorate the mistreatment of the country’s Aboriginal people, and in particular the Stolen Generations. It’s now more than a decade since Kevin Rudd, the then Prime Minister of Australia, apologised to this country’s Aboriginal and Islander people for a history of unequal laws and policies. Our next speaker has witnessed this inequality throughout his life. Stan Grant is the Indigenous Affairs Editor for the ABC, and Special Advisor to the Prime Minister on Indigenous Constitutional Recognition. His constant pursuit of equality and justice has moved many, and his political speeches, and commentary on issues of inequality - both involving indigenous Australians, and otherwise - continue to inspire many; I know they inspire me.

  • Download the Programme for the Winter Gathering
    January 2010 Nottingham Organised in cooperation with Nottingham Student Peace Movement and Notts Anti-Militarism Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone St NG7 6HX Peace News, established in June 1936, is Britain’s oldest peace publication, appearing ten times a year. Co-edited by Emily Johns and Milan Rai, PN reports anti-war news, dissects official propaganda and hosts debates on issues of concern to anti-militarists and others using nonviolence to achieve social change. Peace News opposes the brutal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - and throughout the world - and the retention and renewal of nuclear weapons in the shape of Trident. But these are only the most extreme forms of the violence which is inherent in our society. This violence manifests also as sexism, racism, homophobia, hunger, inequality, corporate domination, government repression and the exploitation of people, animals and the environment. Peace News seeks to oppose all forms of violence, and to create positive change based on co-operation and responsibility. To create a nonviolent world, we believe we must avoid violence in our struggle for change. Peace News draws on the traditions of pacifism, feminism, anarchism, socialism, human rights, animal rights, and green politics - without dogma, but in the spirit of openness. Britain’s entire arrogant and aggressive foreign policy is unpopular among British people. In March 2007, a Telegraph poll asked whether people agreed with this statement: “Some people say that, although Britain is now only a middle-ranking power, Britain should as a nation continue to try to ‘punch above its weight’ – that is, have more influence in the world than our military and economic strength would seem to indicate.” 55% said no, Britain should not “punch above its weight”.

  • The Israeli Military and the "Decommissioners"
    The Israeli Military and the "Decommissioners" On the 17th of January 2009, Israeli warplanes pounded the terrified inhabitants of the densely populated Gaza strip in over 50 air-strikes. It was the 22nd day of Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli military assault on Gaza that left an estimated 1400 dead, including over 300 children. In the early hours of that morning on a quiet industrial estate 2000 miles away, six peace activists scaled the perimeter fencing of the UK factory EDO/ITT, which, it is claimed, makes vital components for Israeli F-16s – the backbone of the airforce bombarding Gaza. After entering the factory through a broken window, the six set about systematically destroying computers and machinery with hammers. When they were finished ‘decommissioning’ the factory, they had caused an estimated $300,000 worth of damage. They then lay on the floor and waited to be arrested. The trial of the activists, who have become known as the ‘Decommissioners’, began a week after Israel once again caused international outcry – this time with killing of nine peace activists, whom Israel accused of being a violent ‘lynch mob’. Like the attempts to defend the Mavi Marmara from Israeli commandos, the actions of the Decommissioners have sparked fierce debate over the line between passive resistance and aggressive action and how far it is reasonable to go in defying aggression. The activists stand accused of conspiracy to commit criminal damage. They are pleading not guilty on the grounds that they were acting to prevent a greater crime – the
