  • Additional Submission to the Leveson Inquiry – February 2012
    TRANS MEDIA WATCH – ADDITIONAL SUBMISSION TO THE LEVESON INQUIRY – FEBRUARY 2012 A. Introduction Trans Media Watch (TMW) wishes to make this additional submission to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards, ethics and culture. It follows the submission made by TMW to the Inquiry in January 20121, and the oral evidence given by Helen Belcher to the Inquiry on behalf of TMW on 8 February 2012. In our original submission, TMW explained some of the various ways that the press uses to misrepresent the trans and intersex communities, including themes such as “trans as fraud”, “trans as undeserving” and “trans as deviant”. We feel it will be useful for the Inquiry to review the coverage of trans issues in the press, specifically but not exclusively from The Sun and the Mail newspapers, since 8 February. In summary: The press has published two main stories featuring trans people over the past two weeks, both appearing on front pages. This is in addition to the standard low level coverage that trans issues get in the mainstream media. With both there are significant concerns over misrepresentation, with corresponding effects on public perception of the issues. With both there are significant concerns over placing vulnerable people, including innocent children, at risk of physical violence. The key issue is the complete lack of respect shown to trans people. Far from mending their ways and reporting trans stories more sensitively, as claimed in person before the Inquiry2, the press has shown a distasteful rush to objectify and sensationalise these stories in a way that places real people in real danger.

  • “Authentic” News: Voices, Forms, and Strategies in Presenting Television News
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 4239–4257 1932–8036/20160005 Doing “Authentic” News: Voices, Forms, and Strategies in Presenting Television News DEBING FENG1 Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, China Unlike print news that is static and mainly composed of written text, television news is dynamic and needs to be delivered with diversified presentational modes and forms. Drawing upon Bakhtin’s heteroglossia and Goffman’s production format of talk, this article examined the presentational forms and strategies deployed in BBC News at Ten and CCTV’s News Simulcast. It showed that the employment of different presentational elements and forms in the two programs reflects two contrasting types of news discourse. The discourse of BBC News tends to present different, and even confrontational, voices with diversified presentational forms, such as direct mode of address and “fresh talk,” thus likely to accentuate the authenticity of the news. The other type of discourse (i.e., CCTV News) seems to prefer monologic news presentation and prioritize studio-based, scripted news reading, such as on-camera address or voice- overs, and it thus creates a single authoritative voice that is likely to undermine the truth of the news. Keywords: authenticity, mode of address, presentational elements, voice, television news The discourse of television news has been widely studied within the linguistic world. Early in the 1970s, researchers in the field of critical linguistics (CL; e.g., Fowler, 1991; Fowler, Hodge, Kress, & Trew, 1979; Hodge & Kress, 1993) paid great attention to the ideological meaning of news by drawing upon a kit of linguistic tools such as modality, transitivity, and transformation.

  • E-Petition Session: TV Licensing, HC 1233
    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

  • BBC Guide to Parliament (Updated to 2021)
    BBC Guide to Parliament (Updated to 2021) There has been a parliament at Westminster since the 13th Century. Today it remains the centre of British government, boasting a colourful history and frequently adding new chapters. Parliament is the place where politicians meet to decide laws and make decisions on running the UK, although some issues in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now dealt with by their respective parliaments and assemblies. Decisions on setting taxes to fund the government's policies are also FACT: MPs and made in Parliament. Lords do not refer to The business of Parliament takes place in two "houses": the elected each other's debating chambers House of Commons and the House of Lords, whose members are by name - instead mostly appointed. they refer to "the Their work is similar: making laws (legislation), checking the work of other place”. the government (scrutiny), and debating current issues. Generally, the decisions made in one house have to be approved by the other, but the Commons is by far the more powerful of the two chambers. No longer 646; now 650 Now between 700 - 800 Term Definition Minister Backbencher Whip Crossbencher Law Lord Opposition Shadow Government The government is normally formed by the leader of the party that wins the most seats in the general election. If the party wins an overall majority (more than half – i.e. at least 326) of the seats, the government will comprise some of the elected members belonging to that party - and possibly some of its members in the House of Lords. If the leading party does not have an overall majority, its leader may have to approach other parties to enable it to form a minority government (Recent example: in 2017 Theresa May’s minority government was supported for 2 years by the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) from N.Ireland) or form a coalition and allow the coalition partners to have representation in the government( e.g.
