BBC Four to Air: the Wonder of Bees BBC Four to air: The Wonder of Bees Four part series on beekeeping to form centrepiece of BBC Four’s Growing Gardens and Green Fingers Season beginning on 14th April 2014 This April sees the start of BBC Four‟s Growing Gardens and Green Fingers season, celebrating Britain‟s gardens as they burst into bloom this spring. World at One presenter, Martha Kearney, kicks off the BBC Four season with „The Wonder of Bees,‟ a four part series which offers a unique insight into the science, art and culture of the Honey Bee – the most ingenious insect known to humankind. A keen amateur beekeeper with no formal training, Martha seeks the knowledge of experts as she attempts to fulfil her ambition of harvesting her first ever crop of wildflower honey. The series will follow Martha‟s journey throughout the beekeeping year from the moment she opens her hives on an unseasonal snowy spring day with temperatures threatening to destroy the bee colony, to facing the challenge of getting the hives ready to produce honey in time to display at the annual summer fete. The Wonder of Bees will introduce viewers to the pleasures and practicalities of beekeeping capturing Martha‟s attempts at tackling angry bee colonies, getting to grips with swarm control and discovering the art of queen bee wing clipping. Martha Kearney commented: “I‟ve been fascinated by bees since I was xxx and an amateur beekeeper for over a decade. Honey bees play a vital role in the delicate and diverse ecosystem of Britain‟s gardens and caring for them, although not without its challenges, comes with its own sweet reward. I hope the series will make people think differently about these clever creatures.” Commissioned by Clare Paterson, Commissioning Editor for the BBC, The Wonder of Bees is executive produced by Chris Shaw and Emma Read for ITN Productions. The Wonder of Bees will air at xpm, 14th April 2014 on BBC Four and will also be available on demand.

  • Introduction: the New Journalist
    Intoduction.qxd 4/23/2007 12:27 PM Page 1 INTRODUCTION: THE NEW JOURNALIST Journalism is changing – and so are journalists. As someone considering enter- ing the trade, or just taking your first steps in it, you are in an enviable posi- tion. Enviable, certainly, to those who have spent some time in the job and are struggling to keep up with the speed at which things are now moving. Enviable because you will take for granted the new realities of journalism. Realities such as that, where once journalists tended to consider themselves as newspaper journalists, or magazine journalists, or broadcasters, the new journalist is likely to work in several media instead of just one. What has brought about this change? In a word, or rather two: the internet. Because of the internet, the way news is obtained is undergoing a transfor- mation which is nothing short of revolutionary. Increasingly, the internet is the news medium of choice for many people – particularly young people. Don’t give up. I didn’t even get an interview at the BBC after university. MARTHA KEARNEY, POLITICAL EDITOR BBC2 NEWSNIGHT AND PRESENTS RADIO 4 WOMAN’S HOUR Almost all publishers of newspapers and magazines, and broadcasters of radio and television programmes, now have a web version of their product. And those websites, increasingly, use elements from all the traditional media in order to tell their stories: text and still pictures from the newspapers and magazines, audio and moving images from broadcasting. So, whereas the old journalist only learned the specific skills required to tell a story in one medium, the new journalist is likely to learn techniques from various media.

Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards.

  • Phoebe Cummings Named Winner of the Inaugural Woman's Hour Craft
    8 NOVEMBER 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phoebe Cummings named winner of the inaugural Woman’s Hour Craft Prize Clay artist Phoebe Cummings was named the winner of the inaugural £10,000 Woman’s Hour Craft Prize in a live broadcast this morning from the V&A, where she was awarded the prize by a judging panel made up of Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director of the Crafts Council; Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A; Martha Kearney, BBC journalist and broadcaster; Susie Lau, fashion writer and style influencer; and Jacky Klein, art historian. Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director, Crafts Council, said: “Phoebe’s work is truly original. It encompasses performance art and studio ceramics and defies easy categorisation. Working exclusively with raw clay to create site-specific pieces that change subtly day-to-day, her staggeringly beautiful work asks us to celebrate rather than mourn the passing of time. She challenges ideas of what craft is with work that is almost impossible to possess but delights in the physical process of making and shows a highly skilled understanding of the material. And so despite stiff competition from 11 other exceptional makers, she has been awarded the inaugural Woman’s Hour Craft Prize.” Phoebe uses unfired clay to create temporary sculptures and installations that gradually disintegrate, challenging expectations of what craft is. Intricate and detailed, her work responds to the natural world and lasts only for the duration of an exhibition after which the clay is, where possible, reclaimed and reused on future pieces. For the Craft Prize she created a fountain that dissolves as the water flows, which has been on display at the V&A since 7 September 2017 alongside work by the other 11 finalists.

  • The 'Today' Programme's Coverage of the 2019
    THE BBC AND BREXIT THE ‘TODAY’ PROGRAMME’S COVERAGE OF THE 2019 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This survey assesses coverage by BBC Radio 4’s Today programme of the European Parliamentary elections between April 12 and May 30, 2019. The volume of EU material was 28.5% of feature time, indicating the importance of the Brexit debate on the news agenda. This amounted to a third of a million words of transcripts. Standout points include: Pro-Brexit opinion was overwhelmingly swamped by those who wanted to avoid ‘no deal’. Speakers had only minimal time to express their views and presenters were not much interested in exploring the potential benefits of Brexit, but rather alleged malpractice or prejudice by pro-Brexit parties and spokesmen. The treatment of anti-Brexit figures was generally much more favourable. After the results of the poll, for example, presenters barely challenged assertions by Remain parties that they had ‘won’ (on a combined basis) the election. By contrast, Sir William Cash – brought on the programme to justify why he had described the government’s negotiating approach as ‘appeasement’ – was questioned by Nick Robinson as if his behaviour was verging on the criminal. Business News – a significant daily chunk of the Today programme – was heavily dominated by contributors who were against ‘no deal’, determined to push as hard as possible the scale of the disruption that would ensue, and who saw almost every negative business development as being the outcome of Brexit uncertainty. The perceived opportunities of Brexit were scarcely explored Almost 500 speakers (487) contributed to the Today coverage.
