No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or qualification. Bahareh Jalalzadeh Moghadam Shahri 13 Novmber 2014 Playful engagements in product design Abstract This research is an investigation into the playful aspects of designed products. Defining playfulness in products, besides and beyond utilitarian functions and aesthetics, is at the heart of this thesis. In product design research, playfulness, this indispensable element of our mediated world, is either superficially limited to visual seduction or entangled with new technologies that it seems as if play appears as peripheral. -
The International Media Coverage of China: Too Narrow an Agenda?
Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford The international media coverage of China: Too narrow an agenda? by Daniel Griffiths Michaelmas Term 2013 Sponsor: BBC 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, James Painter and Rana Mitter, for their help and advice with this research. I am also very grateful to the staff at the Reuters Institute and the other Fellows for making my time at Oxford so interesting and enjoyable. Finally, a big thank you goes to my family for all their love and support. 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 1. Introduction 7 2. Literature Review 9 3. Methodology 10 4. Results 12 5. Conclusions and Recommendations 18 Bibliography 20 Appendix: Articles in Content Analysis 21 3 Executive Summary China is an increasingly important player in global affairs but there is very little research on how it is presented in the international media. This matters because even in today's increasingly interconnected world the media can often influence our perceptions of other countries. This study presents a content analysis of news stories about China in the online editions of the New York Times, BBC News, and the Economist over two separate weeks in the autumn of 2013. In total, 129 stories were analysed. Due to the time constraints of a three month fellowship it was not possible to compile a broader data set which might have offered greater insights. So this paper should not be seen as a definitive study. Instead, it is a snapshot intended to open a discussion about representations of China in the global media and pave the way for further research. -

Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.
