Professor Charlie Beckett gave a lecture on the challenges facing journalism in an era of information crisis and how the field can survive. He argued that governments, companies, and groups are increasingly manipulating information, while new platforms spread misinformation. This has undermined trust in media and created a "multi-truth" information environment. However, improved fact-checking, transparency, and explaining journalism's value could help rebuild credibility and trust over time. New regulations may also be needed to address problems caused by technology like social media algorithms that promote offensive, extreme, or misleading content.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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”.

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.

5. Getting worse before it gets
better
1. Governments, corporations, lobby groups now
investing in information manipulation
2. New channels, platforms and networks will provide
fresh distribution outlets for misinformation
3. Failure to address systematic problems means we
treat symptoms not structural challenges
12. Living in a multi-truth world?
• Lots of different sources –
golden age of ‘choice’
• Stream of social means news is
blended
• News gap – people’s agenda is
different to newsrooms
• Increasing role of emotions and
identity in consumption of news
13. Improving news media credibility
• Increased resources for public
service news
• Fact checking
• Credibility signalling
• Better story-telling
• Transparency
• Better emotional literacy from
journalists
15. Living in a low-trust world?
• Loss of trust applies to most authority, not just media or politics
• Is it a bad thing? Scepticism and lack of deference are good
• Cynicism and apathy and general distrust not so good
• Trust is a relationship – being more truthful will help
16. Improving Trust
• Transparency will help: open, honest, expert
• Humility: listening, seeking expertise
• Accountability: interactive, open, responsive, codes
• Relevance – widen the agenda
• Diversity – change the newsroom, understand audiences and the
wider public(s)
• Change the news organisation - collaboration, crowd-sourcing,
membership
17. Technology: the problem with algorithms
driven by the attention economy
• Harm (children)
• Offence
• Extremism
• Polarisation
• Misinformation
• Emotional drivers
18. Technology
• Tech is not neutral – it can be subject to public policy like anything
else
• The News Zealand attack showed you can’t just keep treating the
symptoms
• Have to decide what the problem is, is tech causing it, what
responsibility do we want them to have, who will be charged with
overseeing that?
• First of all we need an observatory, then an iterative process of
evolving regulation that recognises their unique nature and role
19. Independent Platform Agency (IPA) model
• ■ Report on trends in news and information sharing according to a methodological
framework subject to public consultation.
• ■ Report on the effectiveness of self-regulation of the largest news-carrying social and
search platforms. This should include reports on trust marks, credibility signalling,
filtering and takedown.
• ■ Mobilise and coordinate all relevant actors to ensure an inclusive and sustained
programme in media literacy for both children and adults, and conduct evaluations of
initiatives.
• ■ Report annually to Parliament on the performance of platforms’ self-regulation and
the long-term needs for possible regulatory action.
• ■ Provide reports on request to other agencies such as the Electoral Commission, Ofcom
and the Information Commissioner’s Office, to support the performance of their duties,
according to agreed criteria.
• ■ Work closely with Ofcom and the Competition and Markets Authority to monitor the
level of market dominance and the impact of platforms on media plurality and quality.
20. Tech for good? Funding of local PSM in UK
• Danger of dependency
• Questions over independence,
sustainability, selection of
grantees
• But it is a shift of resources
• Tech co’s have an interest in
making this work
• In the face of market failure
that’s a useful coincedence
21. No-one said it would be easy. Journalism must recognize
that the media world has changed; news has changed;
the public has changed; the world has changed – has it
changed?
22. Subjectivity is the new
objectivity
1. ‘Traditional’ journalism values now at a premium
2. Gatekeeper role over, traditional objectivity
inadequate
3. Understand the ’audience’ and their emotional,
personal media lives
4. Go with the human grain of social media
23. “The challenge for the networked
journalist is clear: how best to sustain the
ethical, social, and economic value of
journalism in this new emotionally
networked environment.”
Beckett, C and Deuze, M (2016) On the Role of
Emotion in the Future of Journalism (Social Media +
Society)
