  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • Locke Director: Steven Knight Country
    Locke Director: Steven Knight Country: UK Date: 2013 A review by Olly Richards for Empire online: The film you think of when you hear the description “Tom Hardy on his own in a car for 90 minutes” is almost certainly not what this is. That synopsis conjures images of a thriller, lots of noisy chasing, perhaps a heist gone wrong, and almost definitely somebody at some point being called a slag. None of that happens. Actually, someone is called a slag, but in slightly different words and with different intent. And if this is to some degree a thriller, insofar as a man’s entire life as he knows it is in the balance, it is a thriller of whispers and terrible silences, of inaction rather than action. Its biggest set-piece involves dropping a folder. Hardy is Ivan, a construction worker (also unaccountably and a little distractingly Welsh), who leaves a building site the night before a huge project as a valued worker and beloved family man. He then locks himself in his car and drives through the night, during which time his career, wife and two sons will gradually slip away from him. Or rather he will gradually push them away as he unburdens his conscience over a series of phone calls and heads toward the biggest mistake of his life. Steven Knight’s first film as director was the dreadful Hummingbird, a movie that fudged an interesting idea (Jason Statham as a damaged, homeless soldier) with a complete lack of subtlety and a slow slip onto the rails of near-enough every other Jason Statham film.

  • The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Crossing the Finish Line
    The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Crossing the Finish Line Professor Susan Vinnicombe OBE, Dr Elena Doldor, Caroline Turner CRANFIELD INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR WOMEN LEADERS The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Supporting Sponsors: Foreword FEMALE FTSE BOARD REPORT 2014 It has been exactly 3 years since Lord Davies challenged the UK’s top performing companies to recognise the benefits of gender equality in the boardroom and to take action to increase the number of women on British boards. Since then we have been encouraged to see chairmen and their businesses take ownership of this agenda. The figures speak for themselves. FTSE 100 companies have increased the number of women on their board from 12.5% in 2011 to 20.7% today, with the FTSE 250 similarly improving from 7.8% to 15.6%. We have also seen considerable efforts and a significant change of mindset from other key players such as investors, executive search firms and business leaders – all working together to bring about real change. We are also pleased to see that within the FTSE 100, 98% of boards now include women. Glencore Xstrata and Antofagasta – are now the outliers. This is a considerable turnaround from where 1 in 5 boards were all male in 2011. The FTSE 250 also continues in the same vein with around 50 all male boards today, down by well over half on 3 years ago. In addition, this report highlights the many strong women candidates capable of filling board positions. Cranfield have identified 100 of their top Women to Watch, which is included here.
