An Olympian Afterglow?
|
| |
Millions of people around the world watched an Olympiad which showed China in its best light - powerful, innovative and modern. For the IOC, the Games were seen as an unparalleled success which brought unprecedented ratings.
So, in the afterglow of the Olympics, we look at our coverage and ask whether the news media did their job in reporting events surrounding the Games. And what next for China?

Undercover: the risks and rewards of investigative journalism
|
| |
Reporting terror, exposing tales of injustice and political corruption, human trafficking, paedophilia and white collar crime - all very worthy, but where do these stories sit in today's news agenda where both time and budgets are tight?
We examine the difficulties of getting investigative journalism to air, the risks involved and the role of the freelance, government agencies and pressure groups in bringing those stories to prominence.

Crescent Coverage: the challenge of reporting on Islam
|
| |
Since 9/11, media groups have been accused of swinging wildly between Islamophobia and political correctness, afraid to criticise Islam and its believers, but does the media need to do more to improve understanding of the Muslim world?
We ask to what extent television news influences public opinion, is the internet changing the message and what lessons does our reporting hold for other countries coming to terms with Islam, at home and abroad?

Hype, Hope and Headaches: making and selling digital news
|
| |
It used to be so simple: a single format, a small number of competitors and a straightforward relationship with the audience. Today, television news operators face a fragmenting audience, multiple distribution platforms and an increasing number of competitors.
This session will gaze into the media crystal ball, bringing together entrepreneurs, analysts, broadcasters and regulators each with their own take on the future.

Entertainment News: what Madonna, Paris and Britney did next and who cares anyway?
|
| |
Love it or loathe it, entertainment and celebrity news continues to thrive in our daily news diet. We live in times when everyone, seemingly, craves their fifteen minutes of fame but how do we ensure our news bulletins are not turned into celebrity soap operas?
We look at the importance of celebrity and entertainment news, its position in the market place and ask how we cover these stories without falling victim or pandering to the world of spin, hype and PR.
