  • Review of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism a Report on Research Commissioned by the NCTJ
    Review of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism Review of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism A report on research commissioned by the NCTJ 1 Review of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism Review of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The NCTJ is reviewing the structure and content of its entry level Diploma in Journalism qualification to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the media industry. It is important that the diploma has the flexibility to equip people who hold the qualification with the relevant skills base for each sector. This review has taken the form of both quantitative and qualitative research across the media sectors. It is based on: an on-line survey of 84 businesses across a range of industry sectors; and follow-up, in-depth telephone interviews with a selection of 21 employers of journalists across the newspaper, magazine, online, TV, radio and PR and communications sectors. The individuals who took part in the interviews are listed at Annex 1. 1.2 The Diploma The NCTJ level 3 Diploma in Journalism is an industry recognised, entry-level qualification. Introduced in 2010, it can lead to eligibility for the National Qualification in Journalism (NQJ), the NCTJ’s professional, senior journalism qualification. The NCTJ accredits training courses at centres across the country to deliver the training for the qualification. Training centres can be based in higher education, colleges of further education or private training providers, but they all have to deliver the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism’s programmes of study. To gain the Diploma in Journalism, candidates must complete: six mandatory units - news reporting, essential media law and regulation for journalists, essential public affairs for journalists, practical journalism ethics, e-portfolio and shorthand for journalists; and at least two optional units, taken from media law court reporting, video journalism for online, production journalism, sports journalism, business of magazines, broadcast journalism and business and financial journalism1.

  • A Survey of Media Ownership and Plurality in the United Kingdom
    The elephant in the room: a survey of media ownership and plurality in the United Kingdom The elephant in the room: a survey of media ownership and plurality in the United Kingdom Executive Summary Media ownership has long been the ‘elephant in the room’ when it comes to analysis of the state of our media: obvious to all but rarely discussed. We view it as crucial to the health of the press, and therefore of a functioning democracy, that the news and views consumed by the public are spread across a sufficient range of independent providers. But we have a serious problem with plurality in the UK. Just three companies (News UK, DMGT and Trinity Mirror) control nearly 70% of national newspaper circulation. Just five companies control some 70% of regional daily newspaper circulation. Out of 406 Local Government Areas, 100 (25%) have no daily local newspaper at all while in 143 LGAs (35% of the total) a single title has a 100% monopoly. Online news sources are overwhelmingly accounted for by traditional news providers while online news consumption is also dominated either by established news providers or digital intermediaries who rely predominantly on traditional news providers for their content. A single news provider, Sky, provides news bulletins for virtually all of national and regional commercial radio. While the BBC accounts for a majority of television news consumption, a single company, ITV, accounts for a majority of non-BBC TV news consumption. Concentration within some news and information markets has reached endemic levels and is undermining the quality and diversity of output on which citizens rely.

  • Cover Price Rises of Regional Newspapers Accentuated Decline in Sales As Digital Media Grew Between 2006-2016 Richard Bowyer, Derby University
    Page 32 Journalism Education Volume 9 number 1 Cover price rises of regional newspapers accentuated decline in sales as digital media grew between 2006-2016 Richard Bowyer, Derby University Abstract The decline in the regional press, traditional wisdom as- serts, has been firmly placed on the rise in the number of people moving from newspapers and reading news online for free. While this is not disputed, this paper will show that cover price increases have in recent years been higher than in previous years and that a correlation exists between these larger than usual increases in cover price and the acceleration of decline in newspaper sales. The findings indicate that a vicious circle has been created in which budget shortfalls have prompted higher and fast- er price rises, which have driven down sales, leading to further shortfalls as falling circulation also leads to falling advertising revenue. Historically, newspapers put their cover price up by 1p to 3p a year or held the price in an at- tempt to keep sales high, an obsession of regional news- papers. For example, the Sheffield Star cost 32p in 2000 and did not increase in cost until 2005. In 2011, with the battle to keep readers a lost cause, regional newspapers decided to use cover price to help finance its business and the same newspaper which cost 47p rose in price to Articles Volume 9 number 1 Journalism Education page 33 60p by 2012, a percentage rise of 28.2 percent. The small- er increases often led to a sales decline, but the policy of bigger cover price increases had a far greater detrimen- tal effect on sales, accentuating a larger decline in sales than previously experienced.
