This book gives a comprehensive overview and insight into financing journalism by foundations and other charitable institutions.

Levy and Robert David by G.

Why look at Charitable and Trust Ownership of News Organisations? David A. L. Levy The current problems afflicting news organisations in many parts of the West are leading to a resurgence of interest in alternative forms of ownership and control of those organisations. Faced with what looks like a crisis of the traditional business model it is not surprising that policy- makers, media commentators, and those who are concerned about the future of the democratic role of the press are drawn to examine the alternatives. What is surprising though is the relative paucity of detailed information about some of the alternative arrangements that do exist, together with a full understanding of their diversity, as well as of their relative strengths and weaknesses. This book, which emerges out of a conference held by the Reuters Institute in September 2010, is designed as at least in part to address that lack of information, and to equip those who are drawn to consider alternative forms of ownership and organisation with a more international and reliable evidence base on which to consider the range of options and make policy and commercial choices. These forms of ownership and operation differ fundamentally from other forms – proprietorships, partnerships, and publicly traded companies – in that they are created for purposes other than being business endeavours producing news products. They are specifically operated to pursue social, political, and

  • Fairies to Be Photographed! Press Reactions in “Scrapbooks” to the Cottingley Fairies Kaori Inuma
    Fairies to Be Photographed! Press Reactions in “Scrapbooks” to the Cottingley Fairies Kaori Inuma Introduction In 1917, two girls (Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths) used a “Midge” camera to produce two fairy photographs in the Cottingley glen, West Yorkshire. Though the fairies were made of paper, the girls stubbornly insisted that they were real fairies in order to play a joke on their parents and friends.1 A few years later, the photographs were forwarded to Edward L. Gardner, the president of Blavatsky lodge of the Theosophical Society in London. In addition, the news about the photographs reached Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his fictional detective series of Sherlock Holmes, who was then writing an article on the belief in fairies in folklore. Doyle contacted Gardner and they commenced the investigation of the fairy photographs together. They consulted various experts in photography and made the girls take three more fairy photographs. As a result, Doyle published two articles in the Strand Magazine in 1920 and 1921 followed by a book titled The Coming of the Fairies (1922) in which he concluded that they could not find any evidence of tricks. Some previous research on this case has considered that the contemporary press primarily debated the existence of the fairies, whether the photographs were forged or genuine; critical views were dominant. Alex Owen, who argued the case in relation to power and privilege, stated: “All this occurred, however, at considerable cost to Conan Doyle’s reputation. His espousal of the fairies dismayed many of even his most ardent admirers. Nevertheless, there were those who Fairies to Be Photographed! felt that lingering questions over the possible authenticity of the photographs remained, and public interest and debate have continued down the years” (50).

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

  • Housing: Overview
    Appendix 1a - Housing: Overview What are the benefits we're pursuing for Londoners? 1) More Londoners have access to good quality homes that meet their needs and that they can afford. 2) Londoners renting privately will get a better deal and be protected from criminal landlords. 3) The scourge of homelessness will be tackled and all rough sleepers will be offered a route off the streets. Governance and risk Targets and objectives Timescales Spend A AGG Updates Highlights and progress Affordable homes (and land) - To the end of December, 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. The Mayor's new Building Council Homes for Londoners programme is now in delivery and the first units (121) are captured in this figure. Allocations are in place for about 107,000 affordable homes against the overall target; this is good progress with over three years left to add starts. - A planning application was submitted to LB Newham for 5,000 homes on land owned by the GLA and joint venture partners Keystone. Rogue Landlord and Agents Checker (RLAC) - Media coverage by the Guardian, in which it contrasted the Checker favourably with the Government's national database, led to higher than expected visits to the RLAC; there have been 74,600 clicks since this metric began to be tracked (ie. over the 2018 calendar year). Homelessness - No Second Night Out (NSNO) floating assessment hubs took place in Newham, Lambeth and Hackney in Q3 with further hubs planned for Westminster, Southwark and Camden in Q4.
