The Derby Guardian 1 THE DERBY GUARDIAN An independent community paper, by email, for the people of Derby Volume 1 No. 12 January 22, 2004 News of entertainments and the arts in the city includes an anniversary to be observed worldwide. Holocaust Memorial Day is on Tuesday, January 27, and among the events during the week in Derby will be the Metro Cinema screening on Monday evening of All Quiet on the Western Front, the classic anti-war film. The film was based on the book by Eric Maria Remarque, a native of Osnabruck – now Derby’s twin city in Germany. At the Assembly Rooms on Wednesday, February 4, the famous former steeplejack and now travelling raconteur, Fred Dibnah, is expected to attract a full house. Box office D.255800. Our entertainments lists appear in the Derby Flyer each week. And see below: An honorary degree from Derby University is to be presented to the family of Terry Lloyd, the Derby-born journalist who was killed during the war in Iraq. The father of the city council, former Mayor Ray Baxter, is in the DRI after a collision with a car while walking with his wife, Jose, near their home in Mackworth. © Brennan Publications weekly on subscription [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Budding film-makers can challenge the world Metro raises profile of local talent A creative teacher in a certain college in the region has started a series of freewheeling but challenging course discussions with the title Creative Connections (writes our film editor). As a simple introduction he asked them to make connections between the ideas and the processes which led many years ago to the production in Derby of the world- renowned Rolls-Royce cars, and a small local company now, which has secured an American contract for a new software programme. Most of the students made that connection, and have now been asked to suggest other fields in which ingenuity and drive could bring success, and also raise the profile of our city. They are eager to take the discussion forward. One has pointed to film-making, and has introduced fellow students (and the tutor) to the competition for film-makers launched by Derby’s Metro Cinema. 2 Metro marked its 20th birthday in 2001 by making Alan Bates its first patron, and early in its 2004 programme is showing one of his early films, The Caretaker. This will be screened on Sunday, February 29, with profits going to charity. The film-making competition could turn out to be one of Metro’s most significant ventures. It is open countywide, and even to anyone who may not now be a resident but has had a Derbyshire post code. Spokeswoman Jane Travis says the deadline to receive entries is February 28, and adds: “They can be sent in on VHS or DVD. Whether your budget was £10 or £10,000 does not matter. We want to show what Derbyshire’s film-makers have to offer.” The entries will be judged by a panel from Q Arts, EM-Media, Metro and audience members. A screening of the finalists will be arranged. Of special interest in the Metro programme next Monday evening is a film to mark Holocaust Memorial Day - All Quiet on the Western Front, based on the anti-war novel by Eric Maria Remarque, a native of Osnabruck, Derby’s twin city in Germany. Details tel. D.347765. The popular introductions to landmark films at the Metro are continuing with Carole Mallai, history tutor at Nottingham University, speaking before the screening of Girl With A Pearl Ear-ring, on Tuesday, February 10, at 6.15pm. Study Days are also continuing, with Jo Butler, lecturer in media studies, exploring the appeal of film noir, followed by Charles Vidor’s classic, Gilda, on Friday, February 27, 12.30-3.30pm (Suitable for GCSE and A-level media students) ________________________________________________________________________ Former Mayor injured in collision City Councillor Ray Baxter was taken to the Infirmary on Wednesday after a collision with a car when walking in Brackensdale Avenue, Mackworth, with his wife, Josephine. He suffered injuries to his face and back. Mrs Baxter suffered bruises when she was thrown to the ground. Mr Baxter, now 76, is the father of the council, having been first elected 27 years ago. He was Mayor in 1989-90, with his wife, Josephine, as Mayoress, and they enjoyed a busy year. They live in Hanwell Way, where I first interviewed him some years ago (writes Jim Brennan). He is a stickler for protocol, and helps keep the Labour group on its toes during the often heated debates with the ruling LibDem Tory alliance. He was succeeded as Mayor in 1990 by a Tory member, Barry Chadwick. Two-pronged attack on local government Blair and Howard marginalize councils Behind the welter of change in the regulation of local government there is now emerging a curious and seemingly anti-democratic convergence by the two main 3 parties in a broadly-based campaign against elected councils (writes our local government editor). Derby is no exception, though the city council’s controlling alliance comprises a strong Liberal Democrat group in partnership with the Tories. The Tory’s national leader, Michael Howard, indicates a softer, voter-friendly stance to come in his party’s manifesto, but some of his senior spokespeople make it clear that the old cut-and-slash attitude to council expenditure remains on file. The Labour leader, Tony Blair, insists that local councils and councillors are the backbone of our democratic system, yet presides over proposals to increase the so- called partnerships, and to encourage a new non-council regime, “new localism”, by which groups of unelected activists will take over some council functions. Giving the local community more power (beyond the ballot box) over the management of public services may sound fine, at first hearing. It is not difficult to imagine the likely chaos when, for example, a group protesting against a new traffic system, put into place by the elected council and legally watertight, refuses to accept it, and urges other Derbeians to ignore it. There is also a possibility that the Labour group could encourage anything which upsets the fragile alliance, thus unwittingly helping New Labour to undermine the dmocratic process. Still the largest party, with 25 seats on the 51-member council, Labour’s tactics under the aggressive group leader, Chris Williamson, seem to be aimed at precisely that result. The professionals in local government, as well as councillors, are now questioning this “new localism,” and Sir Jeremy Beecham, Labour chairman of the Local Government Association, is expected to tackle it in a lecture next week. Standing by the brothers and sisters Scare headlines are already forecasting doom and gloom over the vote of civil servants in the Public and Commercial Services Union to stop work for two days next week, but a senior civil servant in Derby says they have a justified grievance. City Councillor Philip Hickson, Tory group leader and deputy leader of the council, has spent most of his career as a civil servant, and is a member of the Institute of Professional Management Specialists. He told Derby Guardian: “They have a justified grievance over pay, and the decision to take action was based on five separate postal ballots.” While he deplored any disruption of services to the public, he understood the PCSU members’ frustration over a long period of negotiation. Terry Lloyd honoured by university Among the honorary degrees to be awarded by Derby University this week is one to be presented posthumously to the family of Terry Lloyd, the Derby-born journalist who was killed in Iraq. 4 An internationally-renowned reporter, he was shot dead on March 22, believed to be by “friendly fire.” The award is for professional practice and services to journalism, and it is to be accepted tomorrow by his daughter, Chelsey. Degrees were to be presented to more than 2,000 students in ceremonies at the Assembly Rooms on Friday and Saturday. Derbeians’ eyes on Presidential race Democrats in Derby, Vermont, were disappointed that Howard Dean, their former Governor and now favoured candidate to oppose George Bush in the November elections, was reduced to third place in the first primary, in Iowa on Monday. As one of the nine contenders for the Democrat nomination, he had been top of the national polls. He had raised more money than the other candidates put together, and had a record number of hits on his web site, www.deanforamerica.com In Derby, Connecticut, supporters of Senator Joe Lieberman were taking stock, after the post-Iowa poll showed him remaining at only six per cent, against the leader, John Kerry, at 30 per cent. The next primary, in New Hampshire on Tuesday, is regarded as the most significant contest of all. The pundits say that anyone seeking to become President of the United States must win the support of the voters in the tiny New England state. For all Democrat candidates, see www.democraticwhip.house.gov Free morning paper for Derby An East Midlands edition of the free morning paper, Metro, which is already published in London and other cities, is to be launched to cover Derby, Leicester and Nottingham in May (writes our media correspondent). As with the established editions, it will carry mainly national news, from the owners of the Metro chain, Associated Newspapers (the Mail group), through its subsidiary, Northcliffe Newspapers. It will be given away on buses and trains, between 6am and 9am. The cost is covered by advertisements. Its national distribution is 890,000, and the East Midlands edition is expected to add another 60,000, according to the trade paper, Press Gazette.

  • The Conflict in Iraq 23 MAY 2003
    RESEARCH PAPER 03/50 The Conflict in Iraq 23 MAY 2003 Military operations to remove the Iraqi regime from power (Operation Iraqi Freedom) began officially at 0234 GMT on 20 March 2003. Coalition forces advanced rapidly into Iraq, encountering sporadic resistance from Iraqi military and paramilitary forces. By mid-April major combat operations had come to an end, with coalition forces in effective control of the whole country, including the capital Baghdad. This paper provides a summary of events in the build- up to the conflict, a general outline of the main developments during the military campaign between 20 March and mid April 2003 and an initial post-conflict assessment of the conduct of operations.

  • Media Coverage of the 2003 Iraq War
    Lewis, J., Brookes, R., Mosdell, N. and Threadgold, T. (2006) Shoot First and Ask Questions Later: Media Coverage of the 2003 Iraq War. Peter Lang, New York (p.94–100) Many of our open‐ended questions directed at editors and journalists were intended to elicit their views about the policy of embedded reporting as a central component of U.S./UK military news management strategy. Much of the criticism levelled at embedding has been aimed at the dependence of correspondents‐on their units for food and water, transport and safety, suggesting that this close and dependent relationship compromises the ability of correspondents to be critical of military personnel. All of our respondents expressed an awareness of this issue. Many of the correspondents said that they could not help developing friendships with military personnel as a result of their common situation. Indeed, developing friendly relations with the troops was important for correspondents in helping them to do their job. Phil Wardman recalled how Jeremy Thompson made himself popular with the troops by down‐linking Sky Sports for them. According to Wardman, Sky deliberately assigned reporters to units who would be likely to get along with the troops. At the same time, correspondents who discussed the issue denied ythat an friendships formed with the soldiers influenced how they reported the war. A number of examples illustrate the potential for the position of the embedded journalist to be compromised. A number of journalists reported occasions where they were uncomfortably close to the soldiers they accompanied. Ben Brown recalled how a soldier had saved his life by shooting an Iraqi sniper: There was an Iraqi who had been playing dead the other side of a wall very close to us, and he had been pretending to be dead.

    Slaughter in Iraq 20 March 2003 – 20 March 2006 A total of 86 journalists and media assistants have been killed and 38 have been kidnapped during three years of war - Who were they? - Which media did they work for? - In what circumstances were they killed or kidnapped? - By whom? March 2006 Reporters Without Borders 5, rue Geoffroy-Marie – 75009 Paris (France) Tel: (33) 1 4483-8484 Fax: (33) 1 4523-1151 [email protected] www.rsf.org The war in Iraq has proved to be the deadliest for journalists since World War II. A total of 86 journalists and media assistants1 have been killed in Iraq since the war began on 20 March 2003. This is more than the number killed during 20 years of war in Vietnam or the civil war in Algeria. Iraq is also one of the world’s biggest marketplaces for hostages, with 38 journalists kidnapped in three years. Five of them were executed. Three - Jill Carroll, Reem Zeid and Marwan Khazaal – are still being held by their abductors. Around 63 journalists were killed in Vietnam during the 20 years from 1955 to 19752. A total of 49 media professionals were killed in the course of their work during the war in ex- Yugoslavia, from 1991 to1995. During the civil war in Algeria from 1993 to 1996, 77 journalists and media assistants were killed. Paul Moran, an Australian cameraman working for ABC television, was the first of the long series of journalists to die in Iraq. He was killed by a car bomb right at the start of the war, on 22 March 2003.

  • Lettre Famille Congrès.Indd
    Dear Congressional Members, We are the families of journalists killed or missing in Iraq during the year 2003. We are writing to you jointly from Amman, Ramallah, London, Brussels, Warsaw and the Bekaa Valley (Lebanon), backed by Reporters Without Borders, to express our deep dismay and grief at the silence, lack of information and the untruth emanating from your government about the fate of our loved ones. Tarek, Mazen, Terry, Fred, Hussein and Taras were journalists. They acquired the experience and wisdom of war reporters by covering the Balkans, Afghanistan, Chechnya and the Israeli-Palestinian confl ict. Just a year ago, they were sent to Iraq to report on the confl ict and upheaval in the region. As seasoned war correspon- April 8 2004 dents, they were well prepared in advance of what they were to expect when they arrived in Iraq. This war was to be their last. On 22 March 2003, a team from the British TV network ITN led by star reporter Terry Lloyd came under US and Iraqi gunfi re near Basra, in southern Iraq. Terry was most probably killed by US Marines. French came- raman Fred Nérac and Lebanese interpreter Hussein Osman mysteriously vanished. The British military police started an investigation in June but was never allowed to question the Marines involved. Despite the promises of Secretary of State Colin Powell, the US Army has not cooperated suffi ciently with British investigators and so reduced the chances of fi nding out what really happened including recove- ring the bodies of Fred and Hussein. April 8 was a terrible day for the media in Baghdad.

  • The Hollywoodization Of
    1 The Hollywoodisation of war: The media handling of the Iraq war Alan Knight Is this war going to make history by being the first to end before its cause is found? Geoff Meade, SKY TV (Meade 2003) The media war over Iraq began with an ominous warning. US President, George W. Bush told journalists to leave Baghdad, because he could not guarantee their safety. 1 Events in Iraq had reached the “final days of decision”, he said. Saddam Hussein and his sons, like a gang of Hollywood rustlers, were given forty eight hours to get out of town. Three days later the invasion of Iraq began. This article considers the propaganda techniques deployed by both sides in the 2003 Iraq war as they sought to manipulate global coverage of events. It draws extensively on internet sources, in part because the fragmented reports from the field became in the end less important than the globalised whole which consisted of text, audio and television converging on the world wide web. 2 Truth? The first point of the code of conduct for International Federation of Journalists states “Respect for truth and for the right of the public to truth is the first duty of the journalist.” (IFJ Conduct of Journalists) Yet truth does not always have quick victories in modern warfare where the battle for global opinion may be as intense as the contest of military technology. Free speech comes at a cost. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported as Baghdad fell, that nine journalists had been killed during the Iraq invasion.
