    ·9· CONCLUSION A Social News Media Network Conclusion Conclusion The first decades of the new millennium have seen further fundamental trans- formations of the practices and processes through which we generate and en- gage with the news, and online and social media have been central to these transformations to an extent that we could now speak of the thoroughly in- tegrated complex that includes conventional news organisations, alternative and citizen media outlets, professional and citizen journalists, industry and freelance newsmakers, dedicated social news curators and ordinary social me- dia users, as a social news media network. Social media have clearly been crucial drivers of these transformations. In the industry, “a ‘new’ dynamic of newsgathering, production and dissemi- nation is taking shape that affects journalistic practices” (Heinrich 2008: 3), while amongst news users “there is a growing demand for more open, accessi- ble and informative news media. People like journalism so much they are pre- pared to help create it themselves—for free” (Beckett 2010: 3). This has led to the central role that social media now play in the context of breaking news events, as we have seen in Chapter 3, and to the habitual, demotic everyday newssharing practices that are enabling social media to become an increas- ingly important source of news for a growing share of Internet users, which we examined in Chapter 4; it has also forced journalists to develop strategies Axel Bruns - 9781433133213 Downloaded from PubFactory at 09/24/2021 03:42:45PM via free access 350 GATEWATCHING AND NEWS CURATION for engaging more directly with their readers and viewers by developing their personal social media presences, as outlined in Chapter 5, to an extent that would have been unthinkable during the first wave of citizen media; and it has led the news industry as a whole to confront social media as a tertiary space beyond its own imprints in which user engagement with the news must be an- ticipated, should be addressed, and can be measured, as shown in Chapter 6.

  • Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales
    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.

  • Is Wikileaks Challenging the Paradigm of Journalism? Boundary Work and Beyond
    International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), Feature 2581–2592 1932–8036/2014FEA0002 Is WikiLeaks Challenging the Paradigm of Journalism? Boundary Work and Beyond KARIN WAHL-JORGENSEN Cardiff University, Wales Introduction WikiLeaks exists in a peculiar and illustrative tension with journalism that dramatizes larger unfolding debates about the authority, status, and future of journalism. This article explores what the WikiLeaks saga can tell us, in a broader sense, about pressing anxieties of the journalism profession and, relatedly, the discipline of journalism studies. The article explores how journalists and journalism scholars have discussed the revelations of WikiLeaks as well as the organization itself. I suggest that, whereas some observers have argued that WikiLeaks heralds a radical transformation in understandings of journalism, others are keen to see it as just another source—a phenomenon easily subsumed under existing definitions of journalism and deployed in its service. The article investigates the ways in which WikiLeaks challenges conventional paradigms of news coverage insofar as it provides—and publishes—the investigative materials that journalists themselves usually take pride in uncovering. Through this activity, the organization’s emergence reflects larger developments representing a shake-up in conventional hierarchies of voice and access to the public sphere. At the same time, WikiLeaks has also served as a novel and unique type of news source, and the ambiguous figure of Julian Assange has been variously appropriated in news narratives as a heroic defender of free expression—described as a courageous whistleblower willing to speak truth to power on the one hand, and an autistic renegade, recluse, and alleged rapist on the other (e.g., Rusbridger, 2011, p.

  • Letter Appearing in the Guardian Newspaper from All Heads Of
    This letter appeared in the Guardian on 4 June from all Heads of Colleges Dear Sir, The events in the US dramatise the consequences of allowing deeply embedded racist attitudes to be subject to too little challenge. Conscious and unconscious racial bias, and inaction in addressing them, remain prevalent across many institutions. We write in a personal capacity as heads of Oxford Colleges to reassert our belief in the need to promote, protect and advance equal dignity and respect, diversity of thought, good race relations, tolerance and multi culturalism in our institutions and the world. We acknowledge the role that education can play in building racial equality and fair inclusion of black voices and perspectives in society. We recognise and regret that, for black members of our community, the unfolding crisis together with the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on their communities has caused them particular anxiety, anger and pain. We stand with them during these difficult moments with hope that, through the global mobilisation of many against these injustices, through education, discussion, and peaceful protest, we may work together towards a world free of systemic racism and discrimination.

  • King's College Cambridge
    KING’S Summer 2014 Magazine for Members and Friends of King’s College, Cambridge PARADE The games people play: A King’s economist on predicting human behaviour From Bismarck to Bilderberg: what’s the attraction of conspiracy theories? Xu Zhimo: The Chinese poet’s links with King’s KING’SWELCOME Welcome to the Summer Edition by Perveez Mody, Senior Tutor King’s is pursuing a range of initiatives that are bringing students and Fellows closer, says the new Senior Tutor, social anthropologist Perveez Mody. ne of the things I love most about King’s is its eccentricity. The College has always been an open, egalitarian and enabling place that undergraduates, graduates, Fellows and staff can and do shape in Otheir own diverse ways. Even in terms of its governance, King’s is not a closed coterie of Senior Fellows. Rather, Junior Research Fellows participate in everyday College decision-making, which brings different perspectives and energy to the way King’s is run. Having recently been appointed Senior Tutor, my principal concern is to build on these strengths by ensuring better connectivity between students and Fellows. Such connections are what make King’s, and without them we are all islands. King’s has always had a very strong tradition of Fellows directing studies, admitting students and then teaching them. I think it is important for the Fellowship to have students in their gaze. From an academic and pastoral point of view, that sense of an intellectual community in which ideas and problems are discussed and shared allows students the confidence to find their voices, and to be heard when they need help.

  • The Philosopher King of Networked Journalism Stands Down, the Legacy Lives
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2014/12/10/the-philosopher-king-of-networked-journalism-stands-down-the-legacy-lives/ The Philosopher King of Networked Journalism Stands Down, The Legacy Lives Like his newspaper, Alan Rusbridger is a man of contradictions. A privately-educated, Oxbridge radical. A powerful voice for open, accountability journalism who mumbles his way through public events. A passionate democrat who ruled his editorial fiefdom like an hereditary monarch. I also remember him as the chap with the funny furry dogs that used to do quite well at the dog show at our local street party in liberal north London. He will stay in the building as chair of the Scott Trust, but this is a figure-head, mystic role rather than hands on. So there will be a real chance for the next editor to build on his remarkable legacy but also to straighten out a few serious kinks in the Guardian model. But first we should acknowledge the bravery of a man who published not just the WikiLeaks revelations, but also the Snowden data bomb in the teeth of physical, political and personal intimidation from the highest authorities and despite the risks of working with such unusual characters as Julian Assange on such sensitive, complex and important topics. [You can hear him talking about that last March at the Polis conference.] He is also, like John Birt at the BBC, an historic digital visionary who chose the open path, the interactive mind- set, of working across boundaries with the reader and journalist in a mutually beneficial relationship.
