The document discusses the Leveson Inquiry into press regulation in the UK that was triggered by phone hacking scandals. It provides context on similar inquiries in other countries and examines why they were occurring, including law breaking, privacy concerns, and changes in technology challenging definitions of journalism and privacy. It outlines Leveson's key recommendations including independent self-regulation overseen by a recognition body. However, implementing the recommendations through a deal has proven messy and divisive. The effects have made newspapers more careful but key issues around technology, privacy, and regulation were not fully addressed and will likely need revisiting.

The Leveson Inquiry investigated the culture, practices, and ethics of the British press in the wake of the News of the World phone hacking scandal. Led by Lord Justice Leveson, the inquiry recommended establishing a new independent self-regulation body for the press. While no widespread corruption between police and press was found, the inquiry determined relationships between politicians and the press had been too close and press behavior at times was outrageous.The Leveson Report

The Leveson Inquiry, set up to investigate press ethics and the phone-hacking scandal, cost approximately 贈3.9 million, with estimates suggesting it could reach 贈5.6 million. The inquiry concluded that while self-regulation was necessary, there was disappointment regarding the lack of statutory regulation, highlighting a divide between Prime Minister David Cameron and other political leaders on the issue. Key figures, including press victims, expressed skepticism that the recommendations would be effective without enforceable legal backing.Legal, Ethical & Contractual Assignment

The Phone Hacking Scandal involved British journalists from Rupert Murdoch's News of the World illegally hacking into the voicemails of thousands of people, including politicians, celebrities, and victims of crimes. Journalists also bribed police for private details. The scandal led to the closure of News of the World, the resignation of Britain's top policeman, and questions about Murdoch's media empire and Prime Minister David Cameron's judgment. Victims filed lawsuits against the paper, and some received financial payouts. While News of the World apologized, the scandal highlighted criticisms of unethical practices and a lack of responsible journalism across Murdoch's companies.Phone hacking scandal

The phone hacking scandal involved News of the World employees hacking into voicemail accounts of celebrities, politicians, victims of crime, and a murdered school girl to obtain stories. Investigations from 2005-2007 initially found hacking was limited to celebrities, but later revelations showed a wider range of victims. Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corporation which owns News of the World, faced allegations and investigations that phone hacking was widespread and approved within his companies.

Australian-born American media mogul. His father, Keith Murdoch, had been a reporter, editor, and senior executive of the Herald and Weekly Times newspaper publishing company, covering all Australian states except New South Wales. After his father's death in 1952, Murdoch declined to join his late father's registered public company and created his own private company, News Limited. Murdoch thus had full control as Chairman and CEO of global media holding company News Corporation, now the world's second-largest media conglomerate, and its successors, News Corp and 21st Century Fox, after the conglomerate split on 28 June 2013.Rupert Murdoch

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.News and opinion in the digital age

This document discusses the history of disruptions in how news and information are circulated throughout society by advancing technologies. It notes that writing, printing, fast printing presses, railways, telegraph, radio, TV, and finally the internet have each disrupted existing ways of circulating information beyond one's direct knowledge. Journalism began as a recognized full-time profession in the mid-19th century, with the idea of truth independently obtained gradually emerging in the 20th century. Newspapers had a brief period of mass popularity until being disrupted by radio, with only a late 20th century period of exceptional growth supported by advertising revenues. The future of journalism is discussed as moving away from universal models towards more varied and plural options, with people choosingAn optimistic look at journalism

George Brock is optimistic about the future of journalism despite current challenges. He argues that pessimists make three mistakes: (1) ignoring history shows journalism has overcome volatility before through experimentation, (2) forgetting that innovation requires failure and adaptation, and (3) confusing journalism institutions with the underlying ideas of verification and fact-finding. While new technologies have disrupted traditional business models, trained journalists still provide essential functions like verification, eyewitness reporting, sense-making, and investigative work. If journalism focuses on these core tasks using new technologies, and on serving democratic purposes rather than institutions, it can thrive in the digital age through continued experimentation.Information and media disrupted: implications for strategy

1. Information and media are being disrupted by new technologies that change how information is distributed and consumed over time.
2. Disruption is the norm for journalism as it must balance business needs with its democratic purpose in an environment of constant change.
3. To adapt successfully, organizations must be agile and willing to experiment, focusing on their unique value rather than clinging to past models, as disruption will remain a recurrent feature of the media landscape.Digital Disruption and Journalism's Future

George Brock discusses the challenges facing journalism in a time of digital disruption. He argues that while information abundance creates issues for verification, it also provides opportunities if journalists focus on their core tasks of verification, sense-making, investigation and eyewitness reporting. New skills are needed to distribute content as users now publish and share information. Journalists must add unique value by cutting through quantity to find reliable facts and tell stories coherently across multiple dimensions. Tools like the prototype "Juice" could help by supporting creative searches and easy linking of sources to fulfill journalism's purpose of establishing truth. Ultimately, the field's progress will be defined by balancing what audiences want with journalism's democratic and moral goals.Journalism: what changes, what doesn't

This document summarizes key points about changes and continuity in journalism. Disruptive revolutions are ongoing as assets become liabilities and new competitors emerge, but journalism retains core functions. While information routes and volume have changed dramatically, the purpose of journalism remains the systematic search for truth on issues that matter to society. Successful journalism adds value by activities like data analysis, creative search strategies, and explanation amid information abundance. Mastering change requires experimentation over rigid innovation and focusing efforts where journalism, customer data, and technology intersect. The moral and democratic purposes of journalism remain unchanged alongside skills like truth-telling and attracting attention, despite threats from new technologies and business models.Agencies, networks and intermediaries: who does what in news?

This document discusses disruptions and changes in 21st century journalism due to new technologies like the internet. It notes that newspapers had a brief "high modern period" with advertising revenues but that period was historically exceptional. The internet has gone through 3 phases of portals, search, and social media. The key to navigating rapid digital changes is to know exactly what is happening with information flow, experiment well, and understand engagement and reading time across new channels. The core functions of journalism like verification and sense-making have changed but not disappeared. Revenue streams for journalism now require experimenting across ads, subscriptions, premium content, events, crowdfunding, and philanthropy.Quality journalism in the digital age

This document discusses two myths about journalism in the digital age and provides guidance on how journalism can adapt and thrive online. It argues that (1) journalism has always needed to adapt to changes in how information is communicated, and (2) while the internet undermines traditional business models, it creates new opportunities. The key is for journalists to experiment with different formats, voices and revenue streams instead of clinging to old ways. Quality diagnosis of changes is important before prescribing solutions. If journalists focus on their core tasks of verification, sense-making, eyewitness reporting and investigation, journalism will not just survive but improve in the digital world.Journalism: What Next?

- Writing for the web is different than other forms of writing due to changes in the quantity and speed of information sharing, as well as new capabilities like audiovisual content.
- Effective web writing will be clear, concise and help readers navigate and trust information more than previous forms which relied on learning by heart or recording information.
- While distributing words is easier than ever, getting attention remains difficult, so web writing must use techniques like focusing on people, details, simple structures and plain language to engage readers.Is Wikileaks the Future of Journalism?

George Brock discusses WikiLeaks and whether it represents the future of journalism. He outlines the three phases of WikiLeaks: starting as hackers, becoming a stateless platform, and releasing major document dumps in 2010. Critics question if WikiLeaks passes traditional tests of journalism like verification and sense-making. However, supporters argue it has changed how governments handle information and the balance of power between citizens and states. Ultimately, the debate around WikiLeaks and its role in society depends on views of transparency, privacy, and an open democratic system.What exactly is a journalist?

The document discusses the changing nature of journalism. It notes that while print is no longer dominant due to the rise of the internet, that is not the only cause of disruption in the industry. Other factors include the loss of trust in media, audience fragmentation across many channels, and a glut of information being produced. The core functions of journalism - verification, sense-making, eyewitness reporting, and investigation - remain important. The document advocates rebuilding the justification for journalism around these functions and ensuring ethics and standards are maintained.News Media - Changes and Challenges

This document discusses the challenges facing journalism in Britain. It outlines how journalism has developed from coffee houses and separation from the state to the modern proliferation of media platforms including radio, television, cable, satellite and the internet. This fragmentation has led to declining audiences for traditional newspapers and television news as audiences are spread more widely. Daily printed newspapers are struggling most in Europe and the US, though other models like magazines and radio are faring better. The document considers some of the dilemmas faced around defining journalists online and rebuilding the key functions of the profession.How Journalism Faces the Challenges of Digital

George Brock outlines challenges facing journalism in the digital age and strategies for adapting. Some key changes include information overload, fragmented audiences, and questioning the value of mainstream journalism. The core of journalism - verification, sense-making, eyewitness reporting, and investigation - cannot be replaced by algorithms and define its purpose of establishing truth. To succeed, journalism must reinvent itself for new platforms while focusing on skills, experimenting constantly, and understanding user behaviors rather than clinging to old models. Managing change requires balancing platforms, creative partnerships, and avoiding consultants in favor of internal innovation.Fast Food News?

George Brock discusses how the concept of "fast food news" is based on outdated assumptions about how news is consumed on mobile devices. While early mobile news focused on small snippets of information for small screens, mobile devices like tablets now allow for in-depth articles through larger screens. Brock argues the larger issue is the speed of the news cycle, not brevity of content. Despite technological changes, the core tasks of journalism - verification, sense-making, witness, and investigation - remain important. Journalism must find a business model that supports these tasks in a mobile, connected world.Inaugural lecture

The document discusses the changing state of news media and journalism. It argues that three major shifts have occurred: 1) an explosion in the quantity of available information, 2) news can now be instantly updated and altered from many sources, and 3) the production and consumption of news has been decentralized from traditional advertising models. This decentralization has brought an end to the news media oligopoly and allowed anyone to produce and share news. However, the core functions of journalism - verification, sense-making, witnessing, and investigation - require expertise and cannot be replaced by algorithms. For journalism to maintain trust, it needs to focus on these essential functions.How news changes the UK experience

The British news media is experiencing significant changes as print readership and advertising revenue decline. Younger audiences are less engaged with traditional print media. In response, newspapers are developing online content and exploring new business models using paywalls. Local news coverage is threatened as local papers face financial difficulties. Several initiatives aim to replace declining local news coverage, such as the Press Association's local reporting pilot project and the Guardian's launch of local blogs in several cities. Overall, the future of journalism will likely be defined by new online and hyperlocal models of news delivery and new approaches to funding investigative reporting.Ad
