  • 'The Enduring Relevance of Newspapers Speech to the Society of Editors
    ‘The Enduring Relevance of Newspapers Speech to the Society of Editors - Tuesday 20 October 10am. David Dinsmore, Chief Operating Officer, News UK CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Good morning. I have a confession to make. I’m in therapy. It has been about 40 hours now since I witnessed Scotland lose to Australia in the dying moments on Sunday. I’ve no idea what it was like to be a neutral, but it is many years since I have heard the whole of Murrayfield chanting Scotland Scotland as one – and I don’t think we’ve ever heard that particular roar at Twickenham. For 80 glorious minutes, those bloody chariots were impounded in a secure facility somewhere off the M4. It was a magnificent day. It was an incredible story. For a moment we dreamed: were off to face Argentina in the semis…we could have them…and then you’re just a noravirus outbreak in the All Black dressing room from winning the World Cup. It was not to be. But what a day. What a story. And after tuning into non-stop abuse on social media, I quickly graduated to newspapers and their websites. What were the pundits saying? Why had the South African referee Craig Joubert got it so wrong? Why hadn’t he used the TMO (turns out he was right not to, but I needed a newspaper to clear it up for me), why had he run off the pitch like a scalded cat, not shaking a single player’s hand in the process? Why is it so hard being Scottish? Then I came across this snippet of brilliance from my colleagues on The Daily Telegraph in Sydney – the cheeky bastards had made Joubert man of the match.

  • Additional Material for Chapter 11 – Sexual Offences, Human Trafficking, Female Genital Mutilation and Forced
    Dodd & Hanna: McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists, 24th edition Additional Material for Chapter 11 – Sexual offences, human trafficking, female genital mutilation and forced marriages Section numbers from the book are used where relevant. Its content provides fuller explanations and context. 11.2 The wide application of the anonymity Case study: David Dinsmore, former editor of The Sun, was convicted in 2016 of breaching the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992, because the newspaper published a photo identifying the victim of a sexual offence. Mr Dinsmore denied the charge, but was found guilty by the Chief Magistrate, District Judge Howard Riddle at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The case was brought by Durham police, and arose from a Sun article published after footballer Adam Johnson’s arrest in 2015 for illegal sexual activity with a 15‐year‐old girl. Johnson was jailed for this in March 2016. The article showed part of a photo of him with the girl in which her face was obscured. The article did not name her, and warned that anyone who identified her online would face prosecution. But, Mr Riddle heard, some social media users identified her because they recognised similarities between the original photo, from when it had been visible on a private Facebook account, and the altered version used by The Sun. Mr Riddle said he was satisfied that Dinsmore and The Sun staff thought they were complying with the law because they took extensive steps to change the photo to obscure the girl’s image, including changing the colour and length of her hair, and the background in the photo.

    Defiance, not compliance: the culture and behaviour of Murdoch- owned companies October 2017 AVAAZ About AVAAZ Avaaz has a simple democratic mission: organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want.

And the Avaaz movement has been vocal and effective in calling for a full scrutiny of the bid for Sky in 2016-2017, including by submitting evidence, bringing witnesses from the USA, and encouraging inputs to consultations.

Still Life in the Old Attack Dogs: The Press David Deacon and Dominic Wring Introduction During the 2015 campaign there was considerable negativity and partiality in much press reporting; it was not difficult to find examples of where robust political partisanship descended into personal vilification. Some of this was the kind of journalism that had been repeatedly highlighted and criticized only a few years before, most notably in the House of Commons following the 2011 hacking scandal and subsequently during the ensuing year-long Leveson Inquiry.
