  • Selective Abortion Sundari Anitha and Ai
    Making politics visible: Discourses on gender and race in the problematisation of sex- selective abortion Sundari Anitha and Aisha Gill Accepted for publication in Feminist Review Abstract This paper examines the problematisation of sex-selective abortion (SSA) in UK parliamentary debates on Fiona Bruce’s Abortion (Sex-Selection) Bill 2014-15 and on the subsequent proposed amendment to the Serious Crime Bill 2014. On the basis of close textual analysis, we argue that a discursive framing of SSA as a form of cultural oppression of minority women in need of protection underpinned Bruce’s Bill; in contrast, by highlighting issues more commonly articulated in defence of women’s abortion rights, the second set of debates displaced this framing in favour of a broader understanding, drawing on post-colonial feminist critiques, of how socio-economic factors constrain all women in this regard. We argue that the problematisation of SSA explains the original cross-party support for, and subsequent defeat of, the policies proposed to restrict SSA. Our analysis also highlights the central role of ideology in the policy process, thus making politics visible in policy-making. Keywords South Asian women, sex-selective abortion, post-colonial feminism; policy analysis; Serious Crime Bill; Fiona Bruce Introduction In 2012, the Daily Telegraph reported that two doctors working in a private medical practice were prepared to authorise an undercover journalist’s request for an abortion based on the sex of the foetus (Watt et al., 2012). Although transcripts of these conversations revealed that sex had been mentioned in relation to a genetic disorder – which can be sex-specific – in one case, the article omitted this significant detail.

  • 1 Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2019 This Week, BBC One, 10 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who felt Owen Jones was treated in a disrespectful manner while appearing as a guest on the programme. Our response Following the verbal abuse which he and others had sustained from protesters outside Parliament, Owen Jones, journalist, left wing commentator and activist, used his “Take of the Week” section to give his personal take on the current state of political discourse, the rise of the far right and, as he deemed, the reasons for this. This is a prominent section of the programme in which the author gives their views unchallenged. During his video and the studio discussion which followed, Mr Jones made allegations about the Conservative Party and right wing media which some would consider contentious. As our audience would expect, Andrew scrutinised what Mr Jones said. Michael Portillo, who disagreed with Mr Jones, also gave his opinion. Mr Jones was given ample time to express his views and respond to points made to him. When Mr Jones made allegations about The Spectator magazine and Andrew’s role with the publication. Andrew legitimately pointed out that this was nothing to do with the BBC and it wasn’t right for Mr Jones to use the programme to make personal accusations against him. Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received a range of complaints following the interview of Helen McEntee. Some listeners felt the tone and content were not appropriate, suggesting a personal bias from the interviewer.

  • Model Decision Notice and Advice
    Reference: FS50150782 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Section 50) Decision Notice Date: 25 March 2008 Public Authority: British Broadcasting Corporation (‘BBC’) Address: MC3 D1 Media Centre Media Village 201 Wood Lane London W12 7TQ Summary The complainant requested details of payments made by the BBC to a range of personalities, actors, journalists and broadcasters. The BBC refused to provide the information on the basis that the information was held for the purposes of journalism, art and literature. Having considered the purposes for which this information is held, the Commissioner has concluded that the requested information was not held for the dominant purposes of journalism, art and literature and therefore the request falls within the scope of the Act. Therefore the Commissioner has decided that in responding to the request the BBC failed to comply with its obligations under section 1(1). Also, in failing to provide the complainant with a refusal notice the Commissioner has decided that the BBC breached section 17(1) of the Act. However, the Commissioner has also concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure by virtue of section 40(2) of the Act. The Commissioner’s Role 1. The Commissioner’s duty is to decide whether a request for information made to a public authority has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”). In the particular circumstances of this complaint, this duty also includes making a formal decision on whether the BBC is a public authority with regard to the information requested by the complainant.

Whether it’s in reference to the shattering of the All Blacks veneer of invincibility or anticipating the impact of Brexit, there’s a tendency in times of social instability to seek refuge in the safety of more predictable times. Perhaps this is why there was such an outpouring of nostalgia and warm hearted appreciation when it was announced last weekend that former BBC newsreader, Rich- ard Baker, had died aged 93. Baker, who introduced the first bulletin to be broadcast on BBC television, reportedly ended his days entertaining fellow residents at his retirement home. He would, according to the BBC’s own obituary, read all the newspapers and cut out the interest- ing headlines. Then, at Six O’clock, he would read them aloud to his companions over supper. Baker was, of course, the product of an era when the authority and objectivity of BBC journalists were rarely challenged.

  • Volume 2 Issue 2
    The Irvine AtlasSt Andrews Undergraduate Journal of Geography and Sustainable Development Volume 2, Issue 2 May 2020 1 2 3 The Irvine Atlas 2 3 Note from the Editors We bring this issue of The Irvine Atlas to you at what is a rather complicated and tense time across the globe. In the few months leading up to the issue’s publication, we have seen our editorial team, our friends and our colleagues struggle to navigate the new social landscape carved out by the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a struggle which continues on, this note itself being written in two separate places across Scotland - West Kilbride and the Isle of Arran. We sit in isolation, reflecting on the progress of this journal over the past year. This issue was made with hard-work, determination, and an abundance of interesting articles, as with all the previous editions. However, unlike them, the latter half of our editorial process was completed by com- mittee members and authors, locked down in different places all across the globe (with thanks to modern technology). This is a testament to the resilience, dedication and high-standard of work produced by our editorial team and contributing authors. It would have been easy to let the stress and uncertainty of this time cloud our need to complete this journal, but we worked together and continued on. It is sad that there will be no formal celebration in St Andrews or a chance to flip through the freshly printed pages of this issue, but we encourage all of the contributors to this issue to take pride in the work we have accomplished.
