  • CHANGING JOURNALISM for the LIKELY PRESENT Abstract
    CHANGING JOURNALISM FOR THE LIKELY PRESENT S T E P H E N Q U I N N , P H D (Refereed) Associate Professor of Journalism Deakin University Victoria Abstract Media convergence and newsroom integration have become industry buzzwords as the ideas spread through newsrooms around the world. In November 2007 Fairfax Media in Australia introduced the newsroom of the future model, as its flagship newspapers moved into a purpose-built newsroom in Sydney. News Ltd, the country’s next biggest media group, is also embracing multi-media forms of reporting. What are the implications of this development for journalism? This paper examines changes in the practice of journalism in Australia and around the world. It attempts to answer the question: How does the practice of journalism need to change to prepare not for the future, but for the likely present. early in November 2007 The Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Financial Review and the Sun-Herald moved into a new building dubbed the ‘newsroom of the future’ at One Darling Island Road in Sydney’s Darling Harbour precinct. Phil McLean, at the time Fairfax Media’s group executive editor and the man in charge of the move, said three quarters of the entire process involved getting people to ‘think differently’ – that is, to modify their mindset so they could work with multi-media. The new newsroom symbolised the culmination of a series of major changes at Fairfax. In August 2006 the traditional newspaper company, John Fairfax Ltd, changed its name to Fairfax Media to reflect its multi-platform future.

  • The Politics of Sleaze Reporting : a Critical Overview of the Ethical Debate in the British Press of the 19905
    THE POLITICS OF SLEAZE REPORTING : A CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF THE ETHICAL DEBATE IN THE BRITISH PRESS OF THE 19905 Richard Keeblel Evelyn Waugh's “Scoop” is a glorious send-up of journalistic practices which, though published in 1938, still holds true for today. Sociologists may Write Weighty theoretical tomes about the manufacture of the news consensus and the culture of the spectacle. But Waugh summed all this up in his Wonderfully Witty narrative. Here, for instance, in his description of “the fabulous” journalist Wenlock Jakes : “Once .Takes went out to cover a revolution in one of the Balkan capitals. He overslept in his carriage, woke up at the wrong station, didn°t know any different, go out, went straight to an hotel and cabled off a thousand-Word story about barricades in the streets, flaming churches... Well, they were pretty surprised at his office getting a story like that from the wrong country but they trusted Jakes and splashed it in six national nevvspapers. That day every special in Europe got orders to rush to the new revolution. They arrived in shoals. Everything seemed quiet enough but it Was as much 1 Senior Lecturer in journalism at City University, London. Recherches en communication, n° 9, (1998). _ RICHARD KEEBLE ,___ __ _ _ as their jobs were worth to say so, with Jakes filing a thousand words of blood and thunder a day. So they chimed in too”. It is worth bearing in mind Waugh”s delightful descriptions of newspapers” abilities to concoct the news since in the current debate over joumalistic ethics nothing is quite what it seems.

    From Cooperation to Confrontation? Trade Unionism, British Politics and the Media, 1945-1979 By Lucy Bell A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History February 2018 Some images have been redacted from this electronic copy due to copyright restrictions Acknowledgements Many thanks to Professor Adrian Bingham, who has guided this project with supreme patience and professionalism. He has answered all manner of vague emails and tangential questions with honesty and his feedback has always been thorough and clear. Thanks also to my secondary supervisor, Dr Sarah Miller-Davenport, for providing her thoughts and reflections during the final phases of writing. I am indebted to the number of friends and colleagues at the University of Sheffield who have provided me with ideas and suggestions. Thanks to my parents, Judith and Stuart, for their constant support and my brother Matt, particularly for his comprehensive knowledge of word processing tricks. The treasured friendship of Alex, Fiona and Lizzy has provided much needed laughter and encouragement. Most of all, thanks to my husband Tom, without whom I would not have started this project, let alone finished it. He has supplied me with love, conversation and coffee – three ingredients which were absolutely essential during the grey winter months of writing up.
