I am deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday and, with Francis Elliott of The Times, co-author of a biography of David Cameron. In the course of co-writing and updating our book we spoke to a large number of people, but equally I am very conscious that I, at least, dipped into areas in which I can claim very little specialist knowledge, so I would emphasise that in several respects there are a great many people better placed to comment and much of what follows is impressionistic. I hope that what follows is germane to some of the relationships that Lord Justice Leveson has asked witnesses to discuss. I hesitate to try to draw a broader picture, but I hope that some conclusions about the disproportionate influence of a particular sector of the media can be drawn from my experience. My interest in the area under discussion in the Third Module stems from two topics. One is in David Cameron, on whose biography we began work in late 2005, soon after Cameron became Tory leader. The second is an interest in phone hacking at the News of the World. Tory relations with Murdoch Since early 2007, the Conservative leadership has been extremely keen to ingratiate itself with the Murdoch empire. It is striking how it had become axiomatic that the support of the Murdoch papers was essential for winning a general election.

Government plans to leave the EU on 31 October – Deal or No Deal. So where next? Is Chippy ready? It’s all now becoming real. Will supplies to Chippy’s shops and health services be disrupted? Will our townsfolk, used to being cut off in the snow, stock up just in case? Will our businesses be affected? Will our EU workers stay and feel secure? The News reports from around Chippy on uncertainty, contingency plans, but also some signs of optimism. Looking to the future – Brexit or not, a positive vision for Chippy awaits if everyone can work together on big growth at Tank Farm – but with the right balance of jobs, housing mix, and environmental sustainability for a 21st century Market town – and of course a solution to those HGV and traffic issues. Chipping Norton Town Council held a lively Town Hall meeting in September, urging the County Council leader, Ian Hudspeth into action to work with them. Lots more on Brexit, HGVs, and all this on pages 2-3.

  • The Puzzle of Media Power: Notes Toward a Materialist Approach
    International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), 319–334 1932–8036/20140005 The Puzzle of Media Power: Notes Toward a Materialist Approach DES FREEDMAN Goldsmiths, University of London In any consideration of the relationship between communication and global power shifts and of the ways in which the media are implicated in new dynamics of power, the concept of media power is frequently invoked as a vital agent of social and communicative change. This article sets out to develop a materialist approach to media power that acknowledges its role in social reproduction through the circulation of symbolic goods but suggests that we also need an understanding of media power that focuses on the relationships between actors, institutions, and contexts that organize the allocation of material resources concentrated in the media. It is hardly controversial to suggest that the media are powerful social actors, but what is the nature of this power? Does it refer to people, institutions, processes, or capacities? If we are to understand the role of communication as it relates to contemporary circumstances of neoliberalism, globalization, cosmopolitanism, and digitalization (which this special section sets out to consider), then we need a definition of media power that is sufficiently complex and robust to evaluate its channels, networks, participants, and implications. This article suggests that, just as power is not a tangible property visible only in its exercise, media power is best conceived as a relationship between different interests engaged in struggles for a range of objectives that include legitimation, influence, control, status, and, increasingly, profit. Strangely, one of the clearest metaphors for media power in recent years involves a horse.

PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of the report is to advise Committee of the external funding secured in 2012/2013 by East Ayrshire Council and locally based organisations within the East Ayrshire area. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Members will be aware that at the first meeting of the Grants Committee on 26 February 2013 an annual report detailing the level of funding secured by the Council and other locally based organisation was requested.

ANALYSIS OF FUNDING SECURED BY EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 3.1 The Council receives its main funding from the Scottish Government in the form of Revenue Support Grant (RSG). However this element of funding is not included in this report given that it is provided nationally to all councils based on a prescribed formula. 3.2 This report details the additional external funding which is received from partners and other organisations for specific projects and/or initiatives.These funds can arise following an applicationby the Council or an agreement to participate in specific initiatives or from collaborative working and cost sharingarrangements. 3.3 Analysis of the funding reveals that the total external funding secured by the Council in 2012/13 was £3.392m. This compares to £3.179m received in 2011/12 and details of the type of funding received are provided at Appendix 1.
