Winchester Rotary, UK Bulletin Winchester3333339 Rotary,3 UK Service above Self Bulletin - May 2012 R.I.2011-12 Logo Pulling together… 1 The President writes… As the Rotary year reaches the final straight, I would like to return to two of my favourite topics. First: communication. Some of you may have seen an article in the papers towards the end of last month entitled “On your mobile? Not in my shop”!! The reporter Max Davidson was proposing to nominate Mr Darren Groom for an MBE. The 36-year-old coffee-trader has struck a valiant blow for the rights of ordinary people; rights that he points out are being swept away by the tsunami of technological progress. Irritated by customers mouthing their orders to him while jabbering on their mobiles, a phenomenon so widespread that others have lost the will to protest, Mr Groom has had enough! Why should he and his staff be treated in such an offhand way? A tireless champion of good manners, he has erected a sign in his shop “Sorry we are unable to serve you if you are on the phone”. What a hero! I’m sure Darren would have got on well with one of the greatest of Winchester Bishops, William of Wykeham, who chose as a motto for the fine educational establishments he founded, Winchester College and New College Oxford, “Manners Makyth Man”. This resonates with me in another way!! One of the delights for an owner of a boisterous young Labrador is walking the fields, taking in the joys of the countryside and passing the time of day with other dog walkers. Sadly these days it is not unusual to come across a fellow dog walker on a mobile and who passes by without so much as a nod to acknowledge your presence whilst the dogs enjoy a good play and exchange of news in their own inimitable way! Is there a message there from the canine world? Of course the internet, email, mobiles etc. have become a crucial and indispensable form of communication but at times they are surely an inadequate substitute for simply talking face to face. On to diversity. In the short period of one meeting, at the Community and Vocational Showcase evening last Monday, we were able to witness an example of our extraordinary diversity by way of the massive range of charities and other organisations that we support. We heard about Simon’s committee’s support for Winnall Rock School, Trinity, Young Carers, Winchester Dementia Support, and the Geriactors. We also heard about Jon Pierce’s successful third Swimathon supporting Street Reach, Live at Home and Night Shelter, and we also presented cheques drawn from the funds raised from the Ann Widdecombe Evening to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and Shelter Box. This diversity was Congratulations to all those involved. This splendid evening was gracefully brought to a close by the eloquent words of two of our honorary members, the Dean and the Mayor, both of whom we were able to thank for their great support during this Rotary year. Our membership is the basis of our diversity. Young and not so young, men and women, working and retired, all brought together by the Rotary ideal of friendship as a basis for service. Whilst we celebrate and take pride in this diversity, it is important to appreciate that the more diverse we are, the greater range of beliefs, ideas, and views there will be amongst us all, a fact that makes the aim of “pleasing all of the people all of the time” even more unobtainable! This has come home to Judith and I in attempting to arrange a joint Presidents’ night that would suit as many of you as possible. We have done our best and we do hope the arrangements will have universal appeal. Personal invitations will shortly be dropping through your letter boxes and Judith and I look forward to welcoming you all to the Guildhall on June 18th when we have arranged some superb musical entertainment appropriate to this Diamond Jubilee Year.

  • Reporting of the Elections to the European Parliament on Uk Terrestrial Television Services and Bbc Radio 4
    REPORTING OF THE ELECTIONS TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ON UK TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION SERVICES AND BBC RADIO 4 A survey by Minotaur Media Tracking for Global Britain Background People rely increasingly on broadcast services as one of their main sources of news. For many they are the primary, or even their only, source. The reporting of elections by the broadcast media is therefore vitally important to ensure that voters have an overview of the key issues involved. The national agenda in news coverage is set by the terrestrial television channels - the BBC services on BBC 1 and BBC2, and the ITN-provided programmes on ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. GMTV, the ITV breakfast channel, has its news provided by Reuters Television, and also produces its own news features. Radio also plays a very significant role in defining the agenda, principally through BBC Radio 4 and its main news programmes - Today, with an estimated audience of 9.6m a week, the World at One, PM, the Six O’Clock News and the World Tonight. Both the BBC and the commercial terrestrial television broadcasters, as public service providers, have clear statutory obligations to provide news. The 1990 Broadcasting Act stipulates that the news must be of a high quality, of accuracy and due impartiality, and cover national and international news. The BBC Charter is not prescriptive, leaving the exact nature of broadcast services to the governors and the director general. But it is generally accepted that the Corporation’s news output must be impartial, wide-ranging, authoritative and cover the full spectrum of domestic and world affairs.

  • Independent Television News (ITN) Is the Main Supplier of News Broadcasts to Two British Television Channels: ITV and Channel 4
    BJ_C18.qxd 13/04/2007 13:47 Page 422 INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS Independent Television News (ITN) is the main supplier of news broadcasts to two British television channels: ITV and Channel 4. It also provides content for radio bulletins to many UK commercial radio stations through IRN (Independent Radio News). Its flagship television news programme is the ITV News evening bulletin at 18.30. The programme team for the bulletin works closely with the lunchtime and 10.30 teams at their headquarters in central London. They share stories and reports. Their state-of-the-art studio has been called a ‘theatre of news’. Deborah Turness, the Editor of ITV News, has been with the organisation 16 years, which has included spells abroad. She says: ‘It’s a real kind of family. It’s a big enough place to do very different things and get lots of different experience.’ Arti Lukha, the foreign news editor at ITN for today, arrives at ITN’s newsroom in Gray’s 0530 Inn Road, Central London, to start her shift. The newsroom is located on the ground floor of the modern building. She uses her pass to open the newsroom door. The large open-plan newsroom is relatively quiet with the skeleton nightshift going about their work. Down the left-hand side there are small offices for senior editorial staff, and a small meeting room. On the opposite side of the newsroom is the gallery and studio for the localLondon ITV regional news programme. The newsdesk for the London programme is on the other side of the newsroom.
