Fanning The Flames: Reporting on terror in the a networked worldPOLIS LSE
Presentation based on my report for the Tow Center at Columbia published in Spetember 2016 looking at how western media reports on terror. The practical, ethical and political challenges facing news organisations and the role of the digital platforms and social media.
What happens to mainstream political journalism when it becomes more networked? We are often told that something has gone wrong with the reporting of politics in democracies like the UK. But can new forms of journalism supplemented by social media and citizen input help revive its function as the way that we find out about and debate political ideas and policies?
This lecture tries to show how in the UK and US there are now opportunities for better and more democratic journalism around politics. However, the role of public relations or spin and the failure of journalists to be critical and informed enough, means that the public is not getting the democratic benefit. This lecture looks at the case of the Nick Clegg 'Sorry' video and the Mother Jones story about Mitt Romney's secret 47% speech.

Political journalism and reporting of the 2015 UK General ElectionPOLIS LSE
Lecture on the context for the journalism around the UK 2015 General Election and some first thoughts on the specifics of the reporting of that election.
This is a lecture on how political journalism is changing in the UK (and with some international case studies) as communications become more networked. It shows that people are given more voice to question power but that there are limits on how much this is really changing politics or democracy. It uses the Clegg 'I'm sorry' episode to highlight the role of humour in this new environment.

Chapter 13
Politics and New Media
Objectives
To understand:
How the shift towards narrowcasting and digital media might change the nature of political participation
How online media are creating a new space and a new set of challenges for the conduct of political debate
How the shift towards a greater degree of social and political surveillance may alter the broader political landscape
How myths of the digital sublime shape our views of electronic democracy
How media and new media tools are central to advancing social and political economic change
Web 2.0 Structuration and the
End of Politics
Argument for democratic emancipatory potential of the Internet
In reality, there is a shrinking of a public sphere
Within the capitalist market economy, there is a contradiction between the formal equality of political participation and the inequalities of income and opportunity that define the relationships of the market
Web 2.0 Structuration and the
End of Politics, cont’d
Media’s relationship with political power—an unofficial watchdog role, acting as a series of checks and balances on those who exercise power
Political economy analysis suggests “democracy” is tolerated by big business as long as real control is off-limits to popular deliberation
Leaps in Logic?
An idealized view of the democratizing power of the Internet is a hopeful prediction; however, this requires leaps in logic:
Internet is no less susceptible to being manipulated by political parties and sectional interest groups than the current system
Issues under consideration in politics online are still determined by those in power positions and do not necessarily address key issues for a broader community
The control of sites by those who wish to promote their own interests will greatly diminish the credibility of the polling results within political circles
Leaps in Logic? cont’d
E-democracy
People make their own history, just not within conditions of their choosing
Structuration: structures may be formal (laws, policies, regulations), formalized (in institutions or organizations), or relatively informal (class, gender or race)
Degree of agency that one can exercise is dependent on these structures, but the human ability to exercise this agency means that they can be changed
New media are contemporary tools used in this process
The Internet as an Election Campaign Tool
Beginning of twenty-first century: politicians in Canada began to embrace the significance and power of using the Internet to reach constituents
The Internet has become an increasingly necessary tool
Cost efficiency
Relative lack of regulation control
Production simplicity
Swift narrowcasting via active interaction with the individual
New technologies in election campaigns are not always used to expand the voter base; sometimes they are used to suppress it
Online Politics and the
Reportorial Community
Digital media convergence is shifting the borders of the reportorial community

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Political journalism 2016
1. What’s wrong with political
journalism?
Prof Charlie Beckett
MC417
2016
2. What does journalism do for politics?
• Information
[facts, records, statistics, events,
policies]
• Deliberation
[debate, analysis, comment, opinion]
• Accountability
[investigation, audit, voice for
citizen, campaigns]
5. Networked political journalism is..
• Mainstream or digital native media
‘exploiting’ networks
• ‘Digital first’: Connected, continuous
• Includes public participation at some point:
source, interactivity, audience analysis,
dissemination
• Multi-source, multi-format, multi-platform
• Service, not product
8. What digital can for democracy
• More information
• Citizen voice and
participation
• Media accountability
• Direct communication
(disintermediation)
• Organisation &
campaigning
9. What digital can for democracy
• More information
• Citizen voice and
participation
• Media accountability
• Direct communication
(disintermediation)
• Organisation &
campaigning
• Over abundance of data
and voice
• Replicates hierarchies
• Homophily (filter
bubbles)
• Fragmentation and
polarisation
• Distraction, extremism,
clicktavism
29. Trump v Clinton
• HRC is significantly ahead in all mainstream
polling
• US tradition of anti-establishment voting
historically grounded
• But seems to confirm filter bubble works for
core (primaries), less so for open votes
(presidentials, general election) i.e. for power
not mobilisation
32. Facebook’s new news policy
• “In the weeks ahead, we’re going to begin allowing
more items that people find newsworthy, significant, or
important to the public interest — even if they might
otherwise violate our standards. We will work with our
community and partners to explore exactly how to do
this, both through new tools and approaches to
enforcement. Our intent is to allow more images and
stories without posing safety risks or showing graphic
images to minors and others who do not want to see
them.”
• http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/10/input-from-community-and-
partners-on-our-community-standards/
34. False information feeds partisan
passion
• Articles with false news gain more traffic than
those that are factual
• 38% of right wing hyper partisan posts
contained significant false information
• 22% of left wing hyper partisan posts
contained significant false information
• https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/partisan-fb-pages-
analysis?utm_term=.fhewlD3Z8z#.qqXD3ZmWQq
36. The Brexit media failure?
• False equivalence (esp BBC)
• Partisan press
• Lack of fact checking
• News media out of touch
• Failed to predict result
• But both sides lied
37. Post-truth?
• Is ‘Post truth’ actually simply the failure of
Establishment to recognise challenging views?
• Does politics and media deserve to be
trusted?
• What should mainstream news media do to
regain relevance?
So I think that networked journalism is itself a more democratic form of journalism because it shifts power and engages public participation.
It changes the media model from this
What I am going to argue is that with media change we are moving towards this model
