Ideologically, it is founded on a claim to norms and a code of ethics, but in the past, news media also held material control over mass communication through broadcast and print which were largely inaccessible to most citizens. The Internet and social media has created a news environment where professional journalists and their work exist side-by-side with non-journalists. In this space, acts of journalism also can be and are carried out by non-journalists.

    Incomplete Systems 1st april - 30th October, 2011 Burghley Sculpture Garden is delighted to host Julian Wild’s solo exhibition tonnes. Notwithstanding its physical presence, this work exhibits a spatial lightness, Incomplete Systems: a show in which the artist premieres a series of sculptures that due in large part to its skeletal and transparent structure, that implies volume, rather reveal a shift in his practice from pre-determined to more indeterminate forms. than mass. The concluding activity deals with ‘complete’ forms that are more strictly ordered, such as the spherical System No.18 Spring Greens also uses modular, linear construction, but translates it into a zig-zag New Shoot. journey around an ellipsoid-like form. The lack of symmetry in the travelling lines is heightened by the dramatically leaning installation of the sculpture, meaning it In using systematic techniques to explore sculpture in the round, Wild follows a appears to be about to roll off down the slope on which it has been installed. mechanistic cannon that began in the early Twentieth Century with Constructivist The implication of movement around the form, and in relation to its surroundings, artists such as Naum Gabo and Alexander Rodchenko.

  • Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation
    Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation. Lecture by Irwin Stelzer* The Beesley Lectures sponsored by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the Regulatory Policy Institute Institute of Directors, London, 23 September 2010. * Director of Economic Policy Studies, the Hudson Institute; columnist for The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal. I have in the past or am currently a consultant to several firms with interests in these issues. They include Google, News Corporation, News International, and Sky TV. 1 I approach this assignment with considerable trepidation. For one thing, I have been a consultant in years gone by both to News International and Sky, which might colour my views on some of these issues. I leave it to the audience to decide whether that is the case. For another, I did not anticipate that this lecture would occur on the heels of a rather acrimonious exchange of MacTaggart lectures between James Murdoch, who ran Sky before moving on to a larger stage, and Mark Thompson, the extraordinarily articulate and durable -- he has two MacTaggarts under his belt, a feat it took two generations of Murdochs to match -- advocate for the interests of BBC.1 Finally, I have been in and about Britain for enough years to know that there are two things an American should not do: attack the NHS, and criticise the BBC. Dare to do the former, and risk hearing tales of Americans bleeding to death on hospital steps for lack of a credit card or ready cash. Criticise the BBC, and prepare to be regaled with tales of the disgusting state of American television: one distinguished columnist swears that when he checked into an American hotel all he was able to find on television was pornography -- which should come as a shock to BBC advocates, since BBC is a leading importer of American programming.

Research shows that families, up half the sky and you communities, and nations prosper when girls have the opportunity to participate are one of them.” fully in every aspect of society. W2W builds a network of promising young women from around the globe, engages them in the issues that define their lives, and provides them with the tools, relationships and opportunities required to lead. W2W America W2W America is where the leadership journey begins. W2W America is a 10-day summer program that takes place in Boston, MA and is specifically designed for young women between the ages of 15 to 19 years of age. For the past eight years, W2W has provided over 600 emerging international young women leaders from 43 countries with leadership training and social entrepreneurship skills, while strengthening their cultural competencies. In many communities from which W2W delegates are selected, youth are not naturally exposed to other cultures. This lack of diversity often breeds misconceptions about other peoples and societies, both domestically and internationally. Through the training, networking and heightened comprehension of global affairs learned during this program, delegates break down barriers of misunderstanding and replace them with bridges of mutual trust and respect among often-unlikely allies.
