Past, Present and Future

Data Journalism

The idea of the journo-coder, programmer-journalist, hacker-journalist, journo-programmer (the terminology is undecided) is gaining ground as data journalism develops both in Britain and internationally. Programmers are coming into newsrooms, journalists are venturing further into programming and there is some blurring where the two meet. Data journalism (DJ) is certainly becoming the Big Buzz Story in the media but so far little has been written about it. This new, jargon-free text, edited by John Mair and Richard Lance Keeble (with Teodora Beleaga and Paul Bradshaw), provides an original and thought-provoking insight into DJ. The first section, with contributions from Teodora Beleaga and Simon Rogers. explores various definitions of DJ; in another, experts, such as Paul Bradshaw, Nicola Hughes, Daniel Ionescu and Pupul Chatterjee provide some useful tips on developing DJ skills. Tom Felle interviews a group of international data journalists and finds they all argue their work can play a crucial democratic role in holding the powerful to account Andy Dickinson wonders if the growing field of sensor journalism offers an insight into what comes next for DJ Jacqui Taylor, Bella Hurrell and John Walton focus on data visualisations AEndrew Rininsland argues that anyone "willing to learn D3 will find they are given an unparalleled ability to create visualisations that bring data alive" Arthur Lashmar shows how an international consortium of journalists used DJ skills to expose the use of offshore tax havens by the world's rich and famous Other chapters are provided by Chris Frost, Liz Hannaford, Jonathan Hewett, Gabriel Keeble-Gagnere, Damian Radcliffe, Yaneng Feng, Qian Li and John Burn-Murdoch

Ofcom is one of the key regulators in twenty first century Britain. It supervises the big industries of the present and the future: telephony, broadcasting, media, and so on. It is at the intersection of technology, culture and politics. Ofcom is also at its own crossroads with a new chair to be announced in late Spring 2021. That individual could shape the public sphere for decades to come. Hence, this book - the first to my knowledge about the regulator - simply asks what is the point of Ofcom? And is it fit for purpose after close to two decades of existence?A panoply of those with knowledge and experience cast their minds to these big questions: Rt.Hon Sir Alan Moses, Judge, Former Head Independent Press Standards Organisation; Bill Emmott, Former Editor The Economist, Former Chair Ofcom Content Board; Steve Barnett, Professor of Communications, University of Westminster; Mark Thompson, Former BBC DG/New York Times CEO; Clive Myrie, Royal Television Society Journalist of the Year 2021; David Elstein Former Senior Executive Thames, Sky Television, Channel Five; Janice Hughes CBE Graphite Strategy. Early Oftel/Ofcom strategist; Simon Albury MBE, Former CEO The Royal Television Society; Marcus Ryder MBE, Diversity Champion; Robin Aitken MBE, Daily Telegraph columnist; Jacqui Hughes, Former Ofcom executive; Peter Jukes, Byline Times; Paul Connew, Former Editor Sunday Mirror/Media commentator; Phillip Collins, former Chief speech writer for Tony Blair/Columnist at The Times; Julian Petley, Professor of Journalism, Brunel University; Christopher Williams, Telegraph Business Editor

Mair's Introduction to Latin Syntax

One investigative journalist, the Guardian's Nick Davies, digging away over two years, has almost brought the Murdoch empire crashing to its knees. His reports of phone hacking at the News of the World unveiled some very unethical practices. The Guardian was also responsible for many of the biggest scoops of recent years: for instance, investigating the killing of mews vendor Ian Tomlinson at the G20 demonstration in London in April 2009 and collaborating with WikiLeaks in 2010. Andrew Jennings, again working almost alone with the BBC's Panorama over several years, brought down FIFA vice-president Jack Warner and brought that organisation into disrepute. Maybe reports of the death of investigative journalism are premature. This text brings together the writings of top international journalists and academics. They include: Bob (Watergate) Woodward, Donal (Undercover) MacIntyre, Mark (Secret Policeman) Daly, Paul Kenyon and John Ware of the BBC's Panorama, Pulitzer Prize-Winner David Cay Johnston, Paul Bradshaw, Philip Knightley, Adrian Quinn, Kevin Marsh, Eamonn O'Neill and John Tulloch. Sher Baz Khan looks at the troubled state of investigative journalism in Pakistan, Homson Shaw and Hugo de Burgh focus on China, Daniel Ruiz on Guinea-Bissau while Neil Fowler examines the local UK press. Students Sean Carson, Shane Croucher, Tom Farmery and Sean McGrath add to the mix.

Such a book is long overdue.There are about eleven hundred local newspapers in the United Kingdom but, with a few excellent exceptions, little has been written about them and little attention has been paid to them - until now! SIR RAY TINDLE Like the autumn leaves, local papers are falling off the media trees in the USA and now in the UK. Circulations are plummeting, along with revenues and staff numbers. But is all doom and gloom? Will the Internet be the saviour of local journalism - through hyperlocal blogs and digital distribution tools - rather than its executioner? In this unique 'hackademic' volume, journalists and media academics examine this pressing issue from all angles at a crucial time. Edited by John Mair of Coventry University, Ian Reeves of the University of Kent Centre for Journalism and Neil Fowler, former Guardian Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford and the editor of four regional daily newspapers, it features contributions from Andrew Adamson, Lynne Anderson, David Baines, Ian Carter, Jim Chisholm, Barnie Choudhury, Tor Clark, Fran Collingham, Richard Coulter, Tom Felle, Agnes Guylas, Ross Hawkes, David Hayward, Bill Heine, Sarah Johnson, Richard Jones, Ben McConville, Paul Marsden, John Meehan, Chris Oakley, Tom O'Brien, Steve Orchard, Richard Peel, Simon Pipe, Paul Potts, Kevin Rafter, Mike Rawlins, Les Reid, Paul Robertson, Jay Rosen, Bob Satchwell, Justin Schlosberg, Kate Smith and Ian Wood.

What Do We Mean by Local?

Tor Clark

Social media has revolutionised journalism and wider society, for good and bad. Journalists have powerful tools - but are watching the collapse of a newspaper industry failing to compete with social media platforms. Individuals can make their contribution to the global conversation, but at the price of vicious and intimidatory trolling which threatens freedom of expression. Social media has transformed political campaigning but its recent misuse in the UK and US undermines democracy. This book recognises the good and looks at ways to minimise the bad, with contributions from leading experts in journalism, politics and digital media, as well as the latest academic research.
