The document analyzes the Irish newspaper industry. It finds that newspaper readership has declined between 2009-2012 as more people get news online. The key players are The Irish Independent, Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Irish Sun, and Daily Star. These papers are adapting by promoting themselves on websites, social media like Facebook and Twitter, and mobile apps to reach readers. The Irish Examiner lags in technology adoption compared to others. Advancements in broadband and smartphones have increased papers' audiences and allowed diversification.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Market Background
Market size:
2.88 million adults read a newspaper
daily
According to a survey carried out by the
National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI)
the Irish newspaper industry made
€829.68 million in revenue in 2011.
Trends:
Between the years of 2009 to 2012 there
has been a decrease in the number of
people buying a newspaper daily.
Key players:
Broadband and the continuous
introduction of new technology in
regards to Smartphones.
4. Profile of Organisations
Founded in 1905 and it is currently Ireland’s
largest selling newspaper as it is published 7
days a week.
Founded in 1859, an Irish broadsheet newspaper
that is published 6 days a week.
An Irish broadsheet newspaper, founded in 1841
under the title “The Cork Examiner” until it
changed its name to the Irish Examiner in recent
years.
A daily tabloid newspaper founded in 1963
which is published in the United Kingdom and
Ireland.
Founded in 1988, it is Ireland’s number one
paper for people aged between 15-44 years old.
5. Website Review
The Irish Independent
Easy to use and to find top news stories,
with a convenient menu bar allowing
easy of access to information.
The Irish Times
Similar in style to The Irish Independent,
a drop down menu allows users to
quickly obtain information they want.
The Irish Examiner
Laid out in a more traditional manner.
However, it has adopted a useful style for links
to different areas, with pictures as links rather
than a lot of words.
The Irish Sun
Very much based on pictures. Showbiz is one area which they have appearing regularly on the home
page of the website.
The Daily Star
Simple and straight forward to use, with good use of quick links and tabs, allowing readers to easy read
stories of interest.
6. Social Media Review
The Irish Independent has the most
followers on Twitter. Their Facebook page
has got the complete history of the paper,
from the beginning.
The Irish times were more unique in their
social media as they have a news blog
with a number of blogs which they have
written throughout the day.
The Irish Examiner had the best twitter
page with links to various stories on their
website.
We found that the Irish Daily Star had the
most attractive Facebook page.
The Irish Sun is one of the popular
newspapers on Facebook as it is liked by
over 17,000 people.
7. Mobile Review
The first review we chose to do was the
Irish Examiner.
Irish Examiner was the only paper which
didn’t have an app for mobile devices.
We can clearly see that the results from the
analysis of their website review for mobile
devices shows that it is not user friendly.

13. Conclusions
Newspapers use websites, social media and mobile apps to
get their news to their readers
Given the reduction in the purchases of the physical
newspapers, the industry needs to turn their attention to
promoting their papers through other means, for example
through Facebook, Twitter, and apps.
We revealed that the Irish Examiner’s readership is
suffering due to lack of advancement in technology
compared to the others.
The introduction of technology has increased the papers
target markets and created diversification for the customer.
