Passion and Objectivity
Quite often, reporters are asked to cover an issue they are passionate about. However, reporters must remain objective and accurate. The greatest challenge for even the most objective of reporters is to utilize an objective story angle as well.
But is this possible? Pure objectivity in journalism is difficult to achieve because of the human factor. Whether a writer knows it or not, the second they choose the story angle, the objectivity of the work has been diminished. Writing about passionate topics such as conservation and culture can stir the emotions of any staff writer, but the elements of the trade remain.
Professional reporters unlock new angles to trending topics and write passionately about it, but they do it with professional/acceptable objectivity and accuracy.
Essentially, provide a balanced debate and allow your readers to reach their own conclusions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Lesson for News Values
1. Aim
• By the end of this lesson you will be able to
identify 11 news values
• KEY WORDS:hard and soft news
2. News Values
• Galtang and Ruge (analysts and researchers) outlined the
first list of news values in 1965.
• The selection of news for newspapers and broadcast is
done by the application of a set of news values – explicitly
or implicitly – by the “gatekeepers” (editors) who control
the news we receive.
• Gatekeeping is the process by which editors control what
news stories are actually released to the audience and
how/when they are released.
• The gatekeeper will select news depending on the
application of news values, audience expectations and
institutional requirements.
4. Galtung and Ruge’s News
Values
News Value Definition
Size [amplitude] How ‘big’ is the event? How many people are
affected by it?
5. Galtang and Ruge’s News Values
Size (Amplitude/Threshold): How big is an
event?
Unambiguity: How clear is the meaning of the
event
Negativity: Bad news is good news
Frequency: The time-span of the event and the
extent to which it fits the frequency of the
newspaper’s or news broadcast’s schedule.
6. Galtang and Ruge’s News Values
Audience: Does the event match the audience’s
expectations? Journalists often have a pretty good
idea of the angle from which they want to report
an event even before they get there
Cultural proximity (Ethnocentricity): How
meaningful will the event appear to the receivers
of the news? Events happening in cultures
different from our own will not be seen as being
inherently meaningful to audiences here.
7. Galtang and Ruge’s News Values
Elite: The media pay attention to important
people. Anyone the media pay attention to must
be important (this links to the cult of the celebrity)
Balance: The balance of the news is a matter of
the editor’s judgement. A different news
broadcast will have a different agenda in terms of
“hard” and “soft” news, for example, depending
on the target audience.
8. Galtang and Ruge’s News Values
Unexpected: “Man bites dog” is news! If an
event is highly unpredictable then it is highly
likely to make it into the news
Running story: Currency/continuity Once an
event has been covered it is convenient to continue
to cover it.
Personalisation: Events are seen as the actions of
individuals.
9. Homework
• Watch 2 news broadcasts on the same night
– one from a public service channel, one
from a commercial network
• Apply Galtung and Ruge’s news values to
the stories you have listed from your
homework task. You can apply more than
one value to each story.
10. Task
• Sort out these recent stories from the news into
broadcast order.
• Gay marriages are legalized
• Israel bomb Gaza leading to 100’s of deaths
• UK Banking Plan Faces Criticism
• Beatles first album to be re-recorded with
celebrity musicians in 12 hours.
• Use Galtang and Ruge’s news values to justify
your choices.
