This document discusses the changing political landscape in the UK and other countries. It notes that voters have become less predictable and more populist as traditional political parties and media lose influence. Establishment elites also fear accountability and struggle to communicate a clear vision, instead exaggerating fears. This volatility is a response to loss of agency and over-complication in democracy that has led politicians to abandon policy substance for populist appeals.

Scheuerman on Snowden & Civil Disobedience
This is a lecture on William Scheuerman's article, "Whistleblowing as Civil Disobedience: The Case of Edward Snowden," Philosophy and Social Criticism (2014). It is for an introduction to philosophy course at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Lippmann and dewey
Walter Lippmann, John Dewey and the role of journalism and the public in a democracy. Based on a discussion in Jay Rosen's book "What Are Journalists For?"
Galtung And Ruges
Galtung and Ruge developed categories to analyze what factors make international news stories more likely to be reported. Some of the key factors they identified include negativity, proximity, recency, continuity, uniqueness, simplicity, personality, expectedness, prominence of nations or people involved, exclusivity, and size of the story. Higher scores across these categories mean a story has a greater chance of being picked up and screened by the news media.
Leaks and whistleblowing
This document discusses several famous whistleblowers and the ethical issues surrounding their leaks of classified information. It summarizes the cases of Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, warrantless wiretapping exposed by the New York Times, Valerie Plame's leaked CIA identity, Chelsea Manning's leak of government files to WikiLeaks, Edward Snowden's exposure of NSA surveillance programs, and the Obama administration's aggressive prosecution of leakers. Throughout, it raises questions about whether and how whistleblowers could or should be protected from prosecution when their leaks appear to serve the public interest in government transparency and accountability.
News values (2)
The document discusses news values and what makes a story newsworthy. It identifies several common news values that increase the likelihood of a story being reported, such as continuity, familiarity, elite persons, negativity, conflict, unexpectedness, personalization, and consonance. It provides examples of news stories that contain multiple news values. The document also discusses Harcup's expanded taxonomy of news values, which includes power elite, celebrity, entertainment, surprise, bad news, good news, magnitude, relevance, follow-ups, and news agenda.
Responses to news coverage
Reactions to news coverage allow people to share their opinions about news articles and stories. Responses can be positive or negative and come from experts in a field or average consumers of news. They are important because they demonstrate that not all news is completely accurate and extreme findings may not be fully correct. The story of Mexican officials refusing entry to American women was unusual for the time period to be covered, as the border crossing was not very busy and rarely warranted press attention. However, changing women's fashions from abroad, like shorter hair and styles appearing more masculine, were generating debate and increasing media coverage at the time.
Dean Starkman's presentation on journalism and the financial crisis
This document discusses the crisis facing journalism due to declining revenues, the retreat of journalism into coastal bubbles resulting in some groups becoming isolated from other perspectives, and the risks this poses to democracy like the spread of misinformation and an inability to foresee events. It suggests pre-crisis economic issues that supported corruption remain, alternative online media helped connect some groups, and that some groups now exist in an "information vortex" reinforced by certain media that shields them from challenging views.
A Time for New Dreams Contemporary Author
The document provides information about an ELA department lesson plan on two authors, Ben Okri and Jhumpa Lahiri. It includes objectives, standards, activities and engagement for students. The lesson aims to have students compare and contrast the literary styles of Okri and Lahiri by analyzing examples from their works and discussing how style impacts tone, meaning and the author's purpose. Students will complete a continuum analysis of the works and present their findings to the class.

Disintermediation: The Shift Has Happened
This document discusses global internet growth and usage statistics. It presents data on the number of internet users by region from 2000-2007, showing Asia having the largest growth. Charts also show the percentage of internet penetration by region as of 2007 and how the internet has catalyzed media convergence, allowing for disintermediation as the public can now control messages.
SLS 2016 Disintermediation presentation
The document discusses concepts related to mediation and disintermediation in the context of legal education. It defines key terms like intermediation, disintermediation, and reintermediation and provides examples of how they apply to different roles in legal education. Specifically, it discusses how disintermediation is currently affecting law students through more flexible learning, law faculty through changing roles, and law librarians who have been significantly impacted. It predicts that apomediation will become more significant in the future and could threaten law school economics and independence from corporate publishers. Overall, the document analyzes how information technologies are changing mediation in legal education.
Disintermediation
The document discusses various concepts related to mediation and intermediation in the context of legal education. It describes disintermediation as the elimination of established middle agents through digital technologies. Reintermediation then occurs as new intermediaries emerge to aggregate and add value to information. The document proposes three alternatives for legal education that embrace more apomediation: 1) Problem-based learning with integrated library resources; 2) Saturated integration of digital communities; and 3) Extreme disintermediation using blockchain technologies to create a decentralized autonomous organization for legal education.
Diaspora
This document provides an overview of the key concepts in diaspora literature. It begins by defining diaspora as the displacement of a community into a new geographical and cultural region. It then discusses two main moves in diasporic writing: the spatial move involving de-territorialization and re-territorialization, and the temporal move of looking back to the past and forward to the future. Several diasporic authors and their works are listed. The features of diasporic culture include themes of memory, alienation in the new society, and connection to the homeland. Three overarching themes are identified: nostalgia and imaginary homelands, hybrid identities, and globalization. Examples from authors Margaret Atwood
Process of advertising (Communication Process)
The document discusses the process of communication, which involves a sender encoding a message and sending it through a media channel, a receiver decoding the message, and feedback being provided. It identifies the key elements as the sender, receiver, message, media, encoding, decoding, response, feedback, and noise. Communication can be external to a target market or internal within an organization. Different types of communication are also outlined, including formal, informal, verbal, non-verbal, and body language.

Disintermediation of the Marketplace
Disintermediation refers to the removal of intermediaries in the supply chain, such as retailers, by allowing direct transactions between producers and consumers using the internet. This reduces costs. Dell eliminated retailers and sells directly to consumers. Amazon's online book sales prompted Barnes & Noble to also sell online. Direct sales allow companies like Oakley to gather customer data. While some industries like computers have seen strong disintermediation, others like alcohol face legal barriers. Effects include the reduced role of salespeople, lower profit margins for non-adapting companies, and information overload for consumers with too many options. Companies must have infrastructure to handle online fulfillment and customer service. Disintermediation can be either a disaster or a discipline
Paul Evans: Political Innovation
This document discusses political innovation in the UK, including:
1) Recent innovations include increasing transparency through websites like TheyWorkForYou that provide information on MPs, greater use of online tools by some MPs, and petition sites like 38 Degrees that allow citizens to email campaigns targeting politicians.
2) However, political culture in the UK remains relatively centralized and incremental in reform. Elected representatives are often resistant to online activity and transparency efforts are sometimes used more as political tools than for genuine democratic participation.
3) Future opportunities for innovation include open data initiatives that crowdsource analysis, co-design of policy, and using gaming and data analytics to better understand citizens' perspectives. However, democratic implications of new approaches
The role of media in British politics
This was the first of two public lectures for the LSE Government Department. It seeks to explain the history, context and current reality of British political journalism and its function in a modern liberal democracy like the UK. It looks at the problems facing political journalism and the failings of political communications. But it makes the case that some of the things we call 'failings' are actually what makes British political journalism pretty robust.
Is media change creating a more democratic journalism and politics? LSE publi...
In the first lecture I explained that journalism has traditionally had a role as the Fourth Estate in relation to mainstream politics. I showed that journalism has a particular set of functions in that democratic context of informing, deliberating and accountability. Journalism has many flaws, like politics, but the same things that people criticise in journalism can actually be its strengths.
I ended up by suggesting that the real problem for journalism - and politics in western democracies - is not the inherent failings of these trades but their increasing irrelevance to citizens. In other words, they are losing not authority but attention.
I showed that journalism and its relation to politics has changed over the centuries and more recently for technological, social and economic reasons. But it is arguable at least that journalism has never changed more than in the last couple of decades. What I want to set out today is some thoughts about how these changes might create a different kind of political journalism and ask what impact that might have for democracy itself.
I should say right at the beginning that I don’t know the answer because we are in the middle of this process. The pace of change is rapid. Facebook, which allegedly helped spark revolutions in the Arab world, is only just ten years old. By its very nature, media change self-represents itself in ways that are often unrepresentative of real changes. Much of the evaluation of media change is actually conditioned by people’s social, economic or political perspectives. It is relative, subjective and dynamic. A bit like politics.
From Public Engagement to Policy Impact: The Landscapes of Secrecy Project
From Public Engagement to Policy Impact: The Landscapes of Secrecy ProjectArts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
This document discusses efforts to increase the impact of research on secrecy and intelligence from a project called "Landscapes of Secrecy". It describes engaging with the media, websites, museums, and policymakers to disseminate the research findings. It outlines proposals for follow-on funding, including workshops and drafting policy briefs. Key lessons discussed are developing long-term relationships with a few "impact buddies", involving stakeholders from the start of research, and positioning the work to inform current policy debates.The National 4 (2) torture
The document summarizes revelations about CIA torture flights passing through Scottish airports and the Scottish Parliament's failure over a decade ago to properly investigate due to opposition from Labour and Tory parties. It criticizes Jim Murphy, the new leader of Scottish Labour, as an untrustworthy politician who has changed his positions over time. It argues the Scottish left needs a new political force to hold the Scottish government accountable and provide progressive opposition, as the Labour Party is in deep crisis and no longer credible in this role.
Mediatisation of Politics (lisbon)
This document discusses the changing relationship between politics, journalism, and citizens in an era of networked communication. It notes that political reporting is now faster, more saturated, and disintermediated as journalists, politicians, and citizens are directly networked. This mediatization of politics can undermine truth, politicize civil servants, and lead policy to follow media agendas. Both journalists and politicians struggle with issues like spin, lack of attention, and cynicism. New media gives citizens more direct voice but can also fragment discussion and spread misinformation. The role of journalists is to filter information for citizens while upholding traditional watchdog functions, but the real challenge is how to engage public attention on issues like climate change in this new environment.
Cps 2
The document discusses the relationship between democracy and the news media. It notes that Beppe Grillo and the Five Star Movement in Italy rely entirely on the internet and social media rather than traditional news outlets. It also discusses how Silvio Berlusconi has long dominated Italian media through his ownership of television channels, newspapers, and influence over public broadcasting. The document raises concerns about the concentration of media ownership and its impact on press freedom and democracy.
End of imperialism
After WWII, the world saw major geopolitical changes with the end of imperialism and colonialism as new independent nations emerged across Asia and Africa. Key events included the dissolution of colonial empires and creation of over 100 new countries, as nationalist movements led to the decline of European political and economic control over their former territories.
TheCoalitionEffect_Chapter 19
Ed Miliband believed the global financial crisis provided an opportunity for progressive change in British politics. However, as leader of the opposition against an unpopular coalition government, Miliband struggled to convince voters that Labour was the party to enact this change. While Labour recovered somewhat from its disastrous 2010 election result due to disaffected Liberal Democrat voters switching allegiance, its polling lead diminished. Labour failed to extend its appeal beyond a precarious alliance of former Liberal Democrats and traditional supporters. As a result, if Labour were to win in 2015 it would be a weak victory aided by the electoral system rather than a convincing mandate for change.
Democracy
This document discusses democracy and its key principles such as regular elections, rule of law, and civil liberties. It outlines important historical events in the development of democratic ideals from ancient Greece to modern times. It also examines different models of democracy like the British, American and French systems. The document considers factors involved in designing a democratic system such as the relationship between the legislature and executive, different electoral systems, and the role and powers of presidents. It raises questions about whether nation-states are weakening due to globalization and whether Marx would have supported free market capitalism and global governance.

Which ways is up models of politics
Politics involves how society is governed and organized. It is important to the functioning of society because it determines how resources are allocated and decisions are made that impact citizens. Different forms of government structure this decision making process in various ways, from democracy where many citizens share power, to dictatorship where one ruler holds total authority.
Oleg Naumenko - Crisis & Military Communications in Ukraine-Russia conflict
Why Facebook and Twitter can be as effective as a military jet or a machine gun during the war? How to promote an image of a brave, competent soldier and not to delve into mindless militarism? What are the realities of a "hybrid war"? Oleg Naumenko is a member of One Voice Policy StratCom group at the Administration of the President of Ukraine, working in military public affairs and forming a new image of the Ukrainian Army. He is going to talk about the role of social media and digital communications in reforming Ukraine's military and how the conflicts in the Internet and real battlefields became increasingly interlinked.

The document analyzes the roots and history of the conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 20th century until today. It discusses how the conflict was not purely religious or due to an inherently violent Irish culture. Rather, the roots of the conflict lie in the 17th century colonialism and plantation of Northern Ireland, the creation of an unequal and discriminatory society that privileged one community, and the struggle for civil rights that began in the 1960s. While a ceasefire was reached in 1994, ongoing issues like changing demographics, economic decline, and debates around Scottish independence continue to impact the situation. The organization Expac was founded to help former prisoners and promote dialogue across communities in Northern Ireland.
475 2015 democracy and the news media i up
This document discusses the role of news media in democracy. It outlines two models of democracy - classical representative democracy and elitist democracy - and their differing views on the roles of citizens, political elites, and news media. In classical democracy, citizens are well-informed and active in self-governance, while news media help inform the public and act as watchdogs. In elitist democracy, citizens are seen as incapable and passive, while political elites and news media guide public support for elite policies. The document also examines challenges like widespread political misperceptions and questions how news media can balance roles like public debate, accountability, and presenting diverse perspectives.

This was a talk to George Washington University students about how the process of government and politics is becoming 'mediatised'. By that I mean that the process of creating and implementing policies, as well as reporting and deliberating upon politics, is becoming saturated in an unprecedented volume and variety of sources, platforms and content creators. This creates a kind of networked politics. This has good aspects and bad.

Journalism, Disinformation and Facebook: How to Survive an Earthquake
This document summarizes a presentation about the challenges facing journalism in a time of increasing disinformation and the shifting power dynamics around information distribution. It notes that journalism is struggling to find a business model in the digital age. Additionally, social networks have disrupted established flows of information and given more power to opaque algorithms and private companies over public discourse. This poses challenges for democracy, which requires some consensus around facts and truth. The presentation calls for rethinking how journalism engages audiences and addresses the root issues rather than just focusing on internal changes. Cooperation is needed between various actors to address problems that no single group can solve alone.

THE IRISH BORDER QUESTION: CAN THE UNION SURVIVE?
1) Constitutional change in Northern Ireland is challenging as changing a status that has been in place for 100 years is difficult.
2) Unionism and nationalism are shrinking as those who are neither, estimated at around 20%, now outnumber those committed to either side.
3) Demographic arguments alone will not work as the goal should be uniting all people on the island, not pursuing tribal dominance. Positive actions are needed over demanding immediate constitutional change.
Stormont's collapse has a problematic cultural base

Election to Nowhere - Review of Pretext and Outcomes of NI Assembly Election...
The Northern Ireland Assembly election resulted in losses for the major parties and a nationalist turnout advantage. Sinn Fein had an impressive win that increased their vote share by almost 4%, narrowing the gap with the DUP, while the UUP suffered major losses. The rigid power-sharing system requires cooperation between Sinn Fein and the DUP to form a government, but after betraying trust, it is unclear if they have any basis for negotiations going forward.
Ludger helms media and politics
This document discusses the impact of mass media on executive leadership in contemporary democracies. While political research on media issues remains limited compared to other areas, it is widely acknowledged that understanding modern politics requires considering the influence of mass media. The document notes that most research has focused on how media have increased the power of governments and chief executives, but effects on leadership have received little attention. It argues for a comparative perspective to better understand the fundamental relationship between governments, leaders, and media in established democracies.
DUP's Belfast Manifesto
The document outlines a vision and plan to make Belfast a great city again by making it a lower tax city, a growing city, a working city, a family city, and a safer city. Specific policies and advocacy positions are proposed in each area, such as freezing rates, expanding apprenticeship programs, developing family-friendly policies, and tackling anti-social behavior and crime. The overall goal is to utilize Belfast's talents and potential to create a thriving capital city that contributes to a successful United Kingdom.

DUP Manifestoes for #EP14 and #LE14
The document is the manifesto of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) for the 2014 European and local government elections in Northern Ireland.
The DUP believes Northern Ireland's relationship with the EU needs to change, with less power and sovereignty transferred from the UK to Brussels. They advocate changing the UK's relationship with the EU to prioritize trade over integration. The DUP also supports holding a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2016.
The DUP MEP Diane Dodds fights for Northern Ireland's interests in Europe. She has highlighted the high costs of the EU to taxpayers and pushed for greater transparency, accountability and value for money. The DUP will continue opposing waste and inefficiency in the EU.

Pwc irish water,en
This document is a redacted phase 1 report on Irish Water that recommends establishing a water utility company with responsibility for water services infrastructure, customer billing, and charging. It assessed the current model provided by local authorities, reviewed international models, received stakeholder input, and evaluated potential operating models. The recommended model establishes a regulated water company self-funded through customer charges that is responsible for operations, maintenance, investment and customer service, while local authorities could retain some responsibilities. The report also addresses regulatory issues, the potential role of an existing state agency, financial analysis, and transition considerations.
Transcript of Gerry Adams in Liam Adams trial
Gerry Adams was cross examined about his knowledge of allegations of sexual abuse made by his niece against his brother in 1987. The lawyer questioned whether Adams knew about the full details of the allegations at the time, including rape and oral sex. Adams said he was unaware of those specific allegations until 2007 when speaking to police. He maintained that he told his brother's partner about "serious sexual interference" but could not recall the location or timing of this conversation. The lawyer cast doubt on Adams' recollection of events.

The long peace: The future of Unionism in Northern Ireland

It was funded by the Rowntree Charitable Trust.
Stormont
This document summarizes the progress that has been made with the power-sharing government in Northern Ireland since the Stormont Assembly was established in 1998. It notes that mandatory coalitions are difficult, but the current arrangement has concentrated minds. While there have been frustrations and 150 days of deadlock, the mutual veto system has prevailed and committees have shown independence. Overall, the document concludes that the St Andrews Agreement strengthened the governing body and increased accountability, but that the system remains conservative with more work still needed to be done to further develop a working democracy.
How the web is making journalism better?

Shuffling Democracy
- 1. Shuffling democracy And the disintermediation of our politics
- 2. –Shakespeare, Henry IV Part One “The times are wild: contention like a horse Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose And bears down all before him.”
- 3. Losing the compass? • In 2010 the UK electorate went off piste • Tory party gained in places they hadn't expected • Labour survived but *still* isn't sure why • Led to UK's first formal post war Coalition • Murdoch vacillated (so 'The Sun' didn't win)
- 4. Old bottles and new wine? • Most political arguments are constitutional • SNP are building a popular movement • Ditto UKIP with the Tory party's nationalist identity • Ireland no longer has a natural party of government • Northern Ireland admin is leaking authority/agency
- 5. Is politics shrinking? • The rise of Euroscepticism is broad • Exaggerating benefits of negative actions • Channeling distress at loss of democratic agency • Resort to populism a response to over-complication • Shreds mandate of establishment for clear action
- 6. Policy be damned.. • Loss of traditional media as a "reliable witness" • Polls cannot cope with "cognitive polyphasia" • They tell us what we don't like, not what we want • Elites fearful of making themselves accountable • Losing ability to tell resonant stories of positive action.
- 7. –Ben Okri ““A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick. Stories can conquer fear, and make the heart larger.”
