Ros Atkins Presenter Outside Source BBC World News and BBC World Service Ros Atkins presents the BBC’s innovative TV and radio news programme Outside Source. It’s live Monday-Thursday at 1105GMT on BBC World Service Radio and at 1700GMT and 1800GMT on BBC World News television. Prior to this he hosted the award-winning BBC World Have Your Say (WHYS) for many years. Ros has hosted coverage of many major stories around the world for BBC News, including the UK’s vote to leave the EU, the death of Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama's first election victory and inauguration, the football World Cups in Germany and South Africa, Euro 2016 football championship, the Charles Taylor verdict, the London 2012 Olympic Games and Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Ros has hosted from an array of locations including an informal settlement in Soweto, a hospice in London, a prison in Indianapolis, a bookshop in Tel Aviv, a Nazi exhibition in Berlin, a maternity ward in Lagos and a classroom in Tanzania. He also hosted the first Outside Source on the road in Johannesburg, South Africa. Ros has also made a number of documentaries for the BBC. Most recently, All That Stands in the Way which looked at gender inequality through the lives of four teenage girls in Iceland, UK, Lesotho and Jordan. He has also made a BBC radio documentary called Sharing It All, which examined why people are so willing to share very personal experiences online and also on programmes such as Ros'. Another documentary, Living With Tourists, explored the impact of the tourism industry on the three places where he grew up. Ros grew up in Cornwall in the South-West of England, but has also lived in the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago and South Africa. Ros has maintained a keen interest in Africa and the Caribbean, and has been deployed by the BBC to cover the Trinidad carnival, post-election violence in Kenya, and the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana. World Have Your Say won a Sony Gold Award and a Sony Bronze Award when Ros was the programme’s presenter. He also presented some of the BBC’s coverage around Nelson Mandela's death which won a Radio Academy (formerly Sony) Gold Award in 2014. Ros lives in South-East London with his wife and two daughters. .

Ideologically, it is founded on a claim to norms and a code of ethics, but in the past, news media also held material control over mass communication through broadcast and print which were largely inaccessible to most citizens. The Internet and social media has created a news environment where professional journalists and their work exist side-by-side with non-journalists. In this space, acts of journalism also can be and are carried out by non-journalists.

W2W builds a network of promising young women from around the globe, engages them in the issues that define their lives, and provides them with the tools, relationships and opportunities required to lead. W2W America W2W America is where the leadership journey begins. W2W America is a 10-day summer program that takes place in Boston, MA and is specifically designed for young women between the ages of 15 to 19 years of age. For the past eight years, W2W has provided over 600 emerging international young women leaders from 43 countries with leadership training and social entrepreneurship skills, while strengthening their cultural competencies. In many communities from which W2W delegates are selected, youth are not naturally exposed to other cultures. This lack of diversity often breeds misconceptions about other peoples and societies, both domestically and internationally. Through the training, networking and heightened comprehension of global affairs learned during this program, delegates break down barriers of misunderstanding and replace them with bridges of mutual trust and respect among often-unlikely allies.

Analysis of the BBC News online coverage of the Iraq War Abstract The BBC and its coverage of the 2003 Iraq War have received much criticism as well as much praise around the world. Some observers have attacked the news coverage of the BBC, claiming it was clearly biased in support of the war, serving as a propaganda tool for the British government. Others have credited the BBC for its in-depth reporting from the war zone, juxtaposing it to the blatantly patriotic U.S. news coverage. This chapter examines the news coverage the BBC provided on its Web site during the 2003 Iraq War and analyzes the themes and Web-specific eaturf es used to enhance war reporting.

But they have also helped intensify the commodification of audiences, allowed manipulation of communicative exchanges, and enhanced communicative capitalism (Dean 2010).
