My name is John Sheehan and I am the New Ravenscourt Park Ward Sergeant. I have been working at Hammersmith and Fulham since 2005 and have been mainly on the Response Teams. I am new to the world of Safer Neighbourhood policing. My style of policing is a proactive approach, I want to catch the people who commit crime. I will hopefully get to meet you all at some point, but feel free to contact me. I value any feedback or information you can pass to me in order to keep your ward safe. John Sheehan Telephone 020 8246 2710 | Email [email protected] Address Shepherds Bush Police Station, Uxbridge Road, W12 Mobex: 0208 721 2519 Email: [email protected] Crime overview for September and crime prevention ini ti ative Theft from motor vehicle has been quite prevalent on the Askew and Hammersmith Broadway wards over the past month; However, thankfully there hasn’t been that many incidents on our ward over the last month. Burglary has also been particularly low with only one crime being reported. Camilla McBrearty (H&F community safety officer) and PCSO Jon Wise recently carried out a crime prevention initiative which aims to raise awareness of leaving items appealing to thieves in their vehicles and prevent people from becoming a victim of crime. Patrols were carried out across the entire ward and resident’s houses were knocked on to alert the owner if items were left on display in their vehicles. I’m pleased to say there wasn’t many vehicles that had anything left on display in comparison to the previous months we carried out patrols! Home security - Keep Safe Scheme In an attempt to reduce the number of burglaries and reduce the effects of crime, Hammersmith and Fulham council are running a scheme which aims to improve home security by installing security measures such as effective door and window locks free of charge. If you are concerned about your home security or have an elderly or vulnerable neighbour you believe may benefit from this scheme then please contact Bishop Creighton House: 020 7385 9689. Web: http://www.creightonhouse.org/safer_homes_security.html 229 King Street Some residents may be aware of an increase in activity around the hostel on 229 King street with non- residents congregating around the location. In an attempt to combat this issue our team are now issuing section 27 notices to these individuals which enables us to direct people to leave the area for a maximum of 48 hours. If the person who has been directed to leave the area returns before the allotted time has elapsed then they can be arrested. We are working closely with the hostel to try and resolve this issue and the congregation of non residents already appears to be dwindling. Recent crimes of note on your ward TFMV BINDEN ROAD 04/09/2013 2.50pm - 2.58pm - Vehicle left with doors insecure and was in the rear of the van making a delivery, when suspect opened passenger door and took backpack containing letters from the passenger side of the vehicle.

If you have any information regarding these crimes please do not hesitate to contact the team on: 0208 721 2519. Crime Prevention Advice • Most vehicle crime is preventable. It can take as little as 10 seconds for a thief to steal something from your car. If at all possible, leave nothing on view. • NEVER leave valuable items in your car, including sunglasses,, loose change, the removable radio cover and your Sat Nav. Do you really need all those things you keep in the glove box? If possible, empty your glove box and leave it open to display no contents. • Wipe away the Sat Nav mark on your windscreen. • Consider fitting anti-tamper screws to your number plate. • Never leave your car keys where they can be seen from the front door Never • Leave cash, credit cards, chequebook, mobile phones, vehicle documents or other valuables in the car. Never leave your keys in the car, even for a second - treat them as you would your cash and credit cards. Immobilise Please visit www.immobilise.com and register your valuables. The service is totally free and is quick and easy to use. Items marked as being registered with Immobilise are less likely to be stolen, and households displaying Immobilise stickers are less likely to be targeted by burglars.

  • Americana Final
    Americana brings voices from across America to BBC Radio 4 Americana, a new weekly programme presented from the world’s most powerful country by Matt Frei, launches on BBC Radio 4 this spring. Matt will be joined in the Washington DC studio by an eclectic panel of guests. Emerging cultural stars, provocative writers and some current prominent thinkers aim to give the Radio 4 audience an insider’s guide to the people and stories shaping the USA. Americana will also team up with radio stations around the country, bringing reports and features from places off the beaten track. America’s first black president has made ‘change’ his mantra. The meltdown of Wall Street has dislocated the country’s status. President Obama is trying to change the way the country carries out its diplomacy. Americana will look at what these changes mean for America itself, and the rest of the world. Mark Damazer, Controller BBC Radio 4 says on his blog today: “Since Alistair Cooke’s death and the demise of his Letter From America, I have been thinking about a new programme that would ruminate about America - one that would give fresh insights– from the city streets of Chicago and LA, to the small towns of Tennessee and Montana. Americana will bring Radio 4 listeners a sense of the country’s vibrant and often complicated character.” Presenter Matt Frei says: “I’m very excited by the prospect of Americana. There is nothing like it on national radio. I feel sure the discussions with leading thinkers from the worlds of culture, ethics, politics, business and religion will entertain Radio 4’s ever inquisitive audience.” 18 April 2009 For further information: BBC Radio 4 Publicity, 0207 765 2629 or [email protected] www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 Note to Editors: • Americana will be broadcast at 7.15pm every Sunday from late spring (date tbc) • Matt Frei is anchor of BBC World News America, a nightly newscast broadcast from the BBC's Washington DC bureau, airing on BBC America and BBC World.

  • Collateral Coverage: Media Images of Afghan Refugees During the 2001 Emergency
    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 62 Collateral coverage: media images of Afghan refugees during the 2001 emergency Terence Wright Refugee Studies Centre University of Oxford United Kingdom E-mail: <[email protected]> August 2002 These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available under 'publications' at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The paper is concerned with media coverage of the refugee crisis in Afghanistan during 2001. It begins by looking at how the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on 11 September had the result of stimulating renewed media interest in Afghan refugees. Paying special regard to the role of visual images in the reporting of disasters, the paper reviews the narrative strategies adopted by television news. It considers the factors that have instigated media response by examining some general issues arising from the media coverage of disasters. While the central focus of the study is on BBC Television News Special reports on the Afghan refugee crisis, selective comparisons are made with other television broadcast channels, including Sky News and Euronews. Based on the Afghan case study, I propose three main constituent factors contributing to the likelihood of effective media coverage of a refugee crisis. Firstly, in order to attract Western press coverage it is necessary for the crisis to be of such a magnitude that it cannot be ignored; or else it is necessary for it to be perceived as having some obvious connection with Western concerns.

    In 7 Days: Imprinting a Moment of History Nicola Green, Matt Frei, Sarah E. Lewis, and Alex Dimsdale. At The Library of Congress https://vimeo.com/36981080 On October 5th 2011, the British Council partnered with the Library of Congress in Washington to celebrate their acquisition of the series of prints Nicola Green produced in response to her experience following then-presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campaign trail in 2008. The artist herself joined us for a panel discussion about her work with journalist Matt Frei of the UK’s Channel 4, art historian Sarah E. Lewis, and Alex Dimsdale from The British Council moderating. Nicola Green Social Change and the American Presidential Campaign Alex Dimsdale: I’d like to introduce you to our star-studded panel. Starting with Sarah E Lewis, ​ Sarah is a brilliant scholar and curator, also the most glamorous Art Historian that I think I’ve ever seen… Sarah E Lewis: Come to New York! ​ Alex Dimsdale: She’s also perfectly placed to talk about the transatlantic nature of the pieces, ​ because she began her career at the Tate gallery in London, and then has also worked at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, is about to take up a job, in fact, at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York, and she’s also writing a book about art and how incepts with politics in the Nineteenth Century, so she’ll be able to give us a really interesting perspective on that. Sarah is also on President Obama’s Arts Policy Committee so she’ll have an interesting take on that.

  • Whose Pictures? Transcript
    Whose Pictures? Transcript Date: Tuesday, 8 April 2008 - 12:00AM VISUAL IMAGERY IN THE MASS MEDIA - WHOSE PICTURES? Christopher Cook Whose Pictures? is my subject this afternoon. And I'd like to begin where I intend to stay all afternoon, in America. First, back in the first week of this New Year and the start of this year's race for the White House when the Democratic going was already getting tough and rough. Senator Obama, you'll remember had just won in the Iowa caucuses and Senator Clinton the firm favourite for so long was on her back foot. CLIP ONE YOU TUBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qgWH89qWks DUR: 1.58 Did the ladyweep? Was it a real lump in the throat that January day in New Hampshire? Here was one of the most memorable television images in the early stages of this year's presidential campaign in the United States. 'I had this incredible moment of connection with the voters of New Hampshire and they saw it and they heard it. And they gave me this incredible victory last night,' said Hillary Clinton during an interview with CBS after she'd won the New Hampshire Democratic Primary. The story in The Times online continued, 'Analysis of exit polls from New Hampshire showed that women voters, traditionally [Senator Clinton's] most loyal supporters, flooded back after deserting her for Barack Obama in last week's Iowa caucuses. Mr Obama narrowly edged Mrs Clinton for the female vote in Iowa primary last week but yesterday she enjoyed a clear 13-point lead.' The implication is clear.

  • The State of the News Media 2008 Executive Summary
    Overview – Intro Intro By the Project for Excellence in Journalism The state of the American news media in 2008 is more troubled than a year ago. And the problems, increasingly, appear to be different than many experts have predicted. Critics have tended to see technology democratizing the media and traditional journalism in decline. Audiences, they say, are fragmenting across new information sources, breaking the grip of media elites. Some people even advocate the notion of “The Long Tail,” the idea that, with the Web’s infinite potential for depth, millions of niche markets could be bigger than the old mass market dominated by large companies and producers. 1 The reality, increasingly, appears more complex. Looking closely, a clear case for democratization is harder to make. Even with so many new sources, more people now consume what old media newsrooms produce, particularly from print, than before. Online, for instance, the top 10 news Web sites, drawing mostly from old brands, are more of an oligarchy, commanding a larger share of audience, than in the legacy media. The verdict on citizen media for now suggests limitations. And research shows blogs and public affairs Web sites attract a smaller audience than expected and are produced by people with even more elite backgrounds than journalists. 2 Certainly consumers have different expectations of the press and want a changed product. But more and more it appears the biggest problem facing traditional media has less to do with where people get information than how to pay for it — the emerging reality that advertising isn’t migrating online with the consumer.

  • Stephen Kinnock MP February 2019 Newsletter
    Stephen Kinnock MP February 2019 Newsletter A Strong Voice1 For Aberavon News from the Commons Why Have Russians With Extremely Close Links To The Kremlin Been Allowed To Give £1 Million To The Conservatives? In Prime Minister's Questions I asked David Lidington to explain why Russians with extremely close links to the Kremlin have been allowed to give £1 million to the Conservatives. Is it right that the British governing party is in hock to those so close to a hostile and corrupt foreign regime? http://bit.ly/2BmsOMQ Meeting Martin Selmayr The Committee for Exiting the EU had a useful meeting with Martin Selmayr, Secretary General of the EU Commission, in Brussels. He reiterated that the negotiations on the Withdrawal Agreement are closed. But he didn't rule out putting the Backstop assurance letters in the Withdrawal Agreement but asked Brexiteer MPs if they'd really back it if the EU did! He also made clear that the Political Declaration is open for negotiation and Norway Plus would help solve the Irish Border. http://bit.ly/2TxgrEI Prime Minister’s Approach Is A Charade, And It Needs To Be Stopped Now As MPs debated the Brexit amendments, I intervened in the debate to say that the idea that Theresa May can re-open Withdrawal Agreement (‘divorce items’) is a charade - yet another Brexit unicorn. Common Market 2.0 would only amend the Political Declaration on Future Relationship and the EU supports this. http://bit.ly/2GcJDOd Why Does She Not Pivot To The Norway-Plus Option Today?
