    Amelia Gentleman Guardian Journalist and Author “The Windrush Betrayal” Media Masters – May 14, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I'm joined by The Guardian journalist Amelia Gentleman. In 2018, she brought the story of the Windrush scandal, which ultimately led to the resignation of Home Secretary Amber Rudd. Her work on the story earned her the Paul Foot Award. She was named journalist of the year by the Political Studies Association and the British Journalism Awards and her recent book, The Windrush Betrayal exposing the hostile environment has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize. Amelia, thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. Let's start with the flattering question then if we may. I mean you've won more awards quite rightly so than any other guest I've had on. You must have a very well-stocked mantelpiece at home. I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure that's not true. The thing about journalism as an industry is that we have a lot of award ceremonies. I'm sure we have more than most other professions. So that probably explains it. Well, let's start if we may with the Windrush expose which shocked the nation. When did you first sense that there was a big story here that needed pursuing? It took a long time actually to realize that it was something systematic that was affecting lots of people.

  • Studies of Alternative Journalism, 2003-2016 by Tony Harcup
    Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 By Tony Harcup A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Publication Department of Journalism Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Sheffield Submitted: October 2016 [Tony Harcup PhD by Publication: Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream] Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 SUMMARY The thesis comprises a series of nine studies that were all published in peer- reviewed journals or books between 2003 and 2016, accompanied and contextualised by a commentary setting out the coherence and significance of the research when viewed as a whole. This work is concerned with exploration of alternative media in general, and alternative journalism in particular. The submitted publications comprise separate studies that are linked thematically and point to the following conclusions: alternative journalism is not necessarily a failed project just because audiences tend to be small and the lifetime of any particular project tends to be short; there can be said to be a continuum of journalistic practice involving both mainstream and alternative media; and the reporting practices and ethical commitment found within alternative journalism can be seen as an expression of active citizenship. Taken together, the studies gathered in the submission make an original contribution to scholarship in the fields of alternative media and alternative journalism; in the process, they have much to say about journalism as a whole. As an original contribution to scholarship over a sustained period of enquiry, the thesis represents a substantial addition to our knowledge.
