It was launched as BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997 at 5.30pm as part of the BBC's foray into digital domestic television channels, becoming the first Sky News competitor to operate since 1989. For a while, looped news, sports and weather bulletins were available for viewing through BBC Red Button. On 22 February 2006, the channel was named Channel of the Year for the first time in its history at the Royal Television Journalism Awards. The judges noted that this was the year when the channel really went into its own. The channel won the award for the second time in 2017. Since May 2007, viewers in the UK have been able to watch the channel through the BBC News website. In April 2008, the channel was renamed BBC News as part of a rebranding of BBC News for 550,000 pounds, complete with a new studio and presentation. Its sister service, the BBC World has also been renamed BBC World News while national news bulletins became BBC news on one, BBC News on Six and BBC News on 10. During the day the channel averaged about twice the sky news audience. The channel is based on and broadcasts from the Broadcasting House in London's West End. Story Extra: BBC News Channel's timeline BBC News 24 was originally only full-time cable-based with all the other viewers just able to watch night when BBC One was not on the air. This coverage was improved in 1998 with the advent of digital television in the United Kingdom, which allowed satellite and digital terrestrial viewers to view the service as well. Initially it was difficult to get a digital satellite or terrestrial receiver without a subscription to Sky or ONdigital respectively, but now the channel is an important part of freeview and Freesat channel packages. The BBC was launched for two and a half years by the international news channel BBC World before the launch of BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997. Sky News has had a free hand with internal news for more than eight years (since 5 February 1989) and the News Corporation-owned documents have been used to criticise the BBC for expanding its news production. Sky News objected to the breach of its monopoly, complaining about the cost of running the channel, which only a minority could view from the licence fee. Sky News claimed that a number of British cable operators were interested in holding News 24 (which as the licence fee-funded channel was available to such operators for free) in a preference commercial for Sky News. However, in September 1999, the European Commission ruled against Sky News' complaint that the state-funded channel was unfair and illegal under EU law. The Commission had decided that the licence fee should be considered public assistance, but that such assistance was justified because the public service was broadcasting to the BBC and that it did not exceed actual costs. Since December 16, 2005, the journalistic issue of the channel is controlled by the Controller of the channel. It was a return to being a dedicated controller for the channel just like the rest of the BBC's domestic television channels. At the start, Tim Orchard was news inspector 24 from 1997 to 2000. The editorial decisions were then overseen by Rachel Atwell in her capacity as deputy head of television news. Her deputy Mark Popescu became responsible for editorial content in 2004, a role he continued in before the appointment of Kevin Buckhurst as Comptroller in 2005. A further statement by the head of television news, Peter Horrocks, came at the same time as the appointment of Buckhurst, in which he outlined his plan to provide more funding and resources for the channel and shift the corporation's focus on news from traditional BBC One bulletins and through to a mobile news channel. The introduction of simultaneous major bulletins on the channel is to allow news bulletins to pool resources rather than work against each other at key moments in the face of competition, especially from Sky News. On 1 October 2012, Sam Taylor was appointed controller of BBC News along with BBC News at One. In 2016 BBC One and BBC Two controllers have been abolished. Sam Taylor continues as CHIEF Executive BBC News Channel and BBC News on one. One of the main recent defining features of BBC News was the program 100 Days, Later in 100 Days, which Taylor was responsible for creating. The BBC Governors' annual report for 2005/2006 reported that the average audience for 15 minutes reached 8.6% in multi-channel homes, up from 7.8% in 2004/2005. The 2004 report claimed that the channel outperformed Sky News in both weekly and monthly coverage in multi-channel homes in January 2004, and for the first time in two years ahead of Sky News, being perceived as the best news channel. On 21 April 2008, BBC News 24 was renamed BBC News on the channel itself, but is referred to as the BBC News Channel on other BBC services. This is part of a creative futures plan launched in 2006 to bring all bbc news output under one brand name. The BBC NEWS channel moved from studio set N8, which became home to BBC World News, to was the home of national news in Studio N6, allowing the channel to share its set with BBC news on one and BBC News on 10 - with other bulletins moving to TC7 Studios. On 18 March 2013, at 13:00 GMT, the channel moved with the remaining BBC News services to the Television Centre in the newly refurbished Broadcasting House. Presentation and on-screen graphics have been updated, with new Full HD studios and live news backgrounds. Moving cameras in the newsroom are part of the top of the hour title sequence and are used at the beginning of weather bulletins. BBC News HD LOGO BBC News HD. On 16 July 2013, the BBC announced that a high-definition version of BBC News (HD) would be launched by early 2014. The channel broadcasts on the BBC's new HD multiplex on Freeview. HD exit from BBC News has been simultaneously on BBC One HD and BBC Two HD since moving to broadcast house in March 2013. The channel was launched on 10 December 2013 (early) and launched nationwide until June 2014 (as well as BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD). Programming This section needs additional quotes to check.

Find sources: BBC News - JSTOR Newspaper News (September 2015) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) by Sophie Raworth, presenting the first BBC news at One at Broadcasting House, March 18, 2013, 1:00 p.m. Each weekday afternoon consists of headers for every quarter of an hour, extended at the top of the hour to form the bulk of the daily schedule. At night, there is usually a bulletin lasting 25 minutes every hour and then a weather forecast. Summary of air conditioning for half an hour and then there weather program before the hour starts. A similar pattern follows over the weekend, with ballots usually 30 minutes long. These models will often be pushed out as a result of news coverage, including live reporting and interviews. This channel also provides sports news from the BBC Sport centre to MediaCityUK. At 21:25 the global weather forecast is broadcast and 21:55 weather is broadcast for the week ahead. The BBC News supports guidelines for procedures to be taken for breaking news. With internal news, the correspondent first recorded a summary of the common minute (for use by all stations and channels), and then the priority was on BBC Radio 5 Live, then on the BBC News channel and any other programmes that are on the air. With 5 Live to move to Manchester, it was cancelled. For foreign news, first the total minute is recorded, then the reports on The World Service radio, then the reporter talks with any other programs that are on the air. Lord Lambert's key statement in his report was that the channel was slower to respond to the latest news than its main rival Sky News.

  • LAW, LEGITIMACY and UNITED NATIONS Law, Legitimacy and United Nations RAMESH THAKUR *
    LAW, LEGITIMACY AND UNITED NATIONS Law, Legitimacy and United Nations RAMESH THAKUR * The gulf between law and legitimacy — a distinction popularised in the context of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s intervention in Kosovo in 1999 — is a more serious crisis-in-the-making for the United Nations than is commonly realised. The reason for the under-estimation of the extent and gravity of the gap is that different segments of the international community have problems with different elements of the gap and fail to capture the several dimensions in their cumulative effect. This is illustrated with respect to international law and international humanitarian law, sanctions, nuclear weapons, atrocity crimes and international interventions, international criminal justice, the Security Council, the UN–United States relationship, and UN integrity systems.

This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure? This article focuses on Twitter, now a widely used tool in the newsroom, analysing the Twitter output of 10 UK political correspondents during the busy party conference season.

In 2014, Harvard researchers asked 2,500 American adults what causes stress in their daily lives. Forty percent admitted that “watching, reading, or listening to the news” was one of their top life stressors.1 Since then, more studies have shown that learning about bad news hurts our mental health more than listening to good news helps our mental health.2 Unfortunately, the media spends more time focusing on bad news than good news.

Serber © 2016 Bradley A. Serber Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 ii The dissertation of Bradley A. Serber was reviewed and approved* by the following: Rosa A. Eberly Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and English Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Jeremy Engels Associate Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Kirt H. Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern History Denise Haunani Solomon Liberal Arts Research Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Head of the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how members of various publics respond to “targeted violence,” a broad term that encompasses a variety of attacks in which an individual, pair, or small group attacks as many people as possible in a public place. Building upon Albert O. Hirschman’s The Rhetoric of Reaction and contemporary versions of classical stasis theory, the project develops an anatomy of arguments that people have made in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Isla Vista attack (#YesAllWomen). The chapter on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting advances the concept of a rhetorical void, which describes the space into which arguments about guns, mental illness, and school security disappear after conversations about them reach impasses.

India saw the growth of airlines from the beginning of the twentieth century albeit, in the private sector, India also witnessed Nationalization followed by privatization. With a multitude of domestic and global players, aviation in India grew leaps and bounds. Many private airlines wound up on various accounts, many were born as well. The Government of India ensured that Air India and its subsidiaries which were successful till the 1970s and were losing steam on account of bureaucratic and political apathy was funding the behemoth, which turned out to be a loss-making enterprise. The world of aviation has seen plenty of Acquisitions, Mergers, Joint-ventures, Alliances, Partnerships and other business combinations as researched and studied by Prof. Benjamin Gomes-Casseres in his Remix Strategy. The Research paper is a work in progress which is focusing on the dynamics of what the TATA Sons are doing to ensure a revert back to the business that they originally founded in 1932.
