Making News Today: a tool for adoption of ethics principles using technology‐supported television journalism

There are movements internationally towards curricula that incorporate values and citizenship education. In Australia, this movement has been illustrated with the adoption of a national curriculum in values education. This has arisen from the perceived need for citizens to hold values around the rights and responsibilities of functioning within a democracy. The Making News Today programme has been designed to develop a range of literacies enabling learners, for example, to read the media beyond the interests of the elite. The programme incorporates a journalistic process for television news production for middle school students using laptop and handheld video technologies, with embedded ethics and values education. The article reports on an analysis of the implementation of this programme with middle school students in Australia with reference to student adoption of ethical stances in the journalistic process and the implications for the use of this project in developing ethics, values and citizenship as part of the curriculum process.

“I Read the News Today, Oh Boy”: The British Press and the Beatles

The public arrival of the Beatles in 1963 brought unforeseen difficulties for journalists in the UK. Although there was an established weekly music press, centered around a quartet of titles, its writers had little practical experience of British performers whose popularity and success eclipsed that of their American contemporaries, and who actively sought to create a distinctive musical style of their own. However, the problem was even more acute for the country's national daily and weekly press: the traditional policy of regarding popular music as either an amusing and peripheral diversion or an incitement to delinquency and depravity left it ill-equipped to structure its coverage of a group whose personalities, behavior, and achievements transcended previous categorizations and blurred the distinction between news and entertainment. The decisions taken by the British press played a crucial role in shaping the early popularity of the Beatles, and also helped to establish a journalistic approach through which popular music became a legitimate and lucrative topic for newspapers in the UK.

Reduction of slips, trips and falls and better comfort by using new anti-slipping boots in fishing

RETRACTED: Have you Seen the News Today? The Effect of Death-Related Media Contexts on Brand Preferences

This research examines how death-related media contexts affect consumers’ preferences for domestic and foreign brands. Four lab and field studies demonstrate that death-related media contexts affect subsequent brand evaluations in distinct ways, which have not yet been documented in the extant literature on media context. First, death-related media contexts shift consumers’ preferences in favor of domestic brands by enhancing consumers’ patriotism. Second, the death-related media context effect appears only with a temporal delay between the media context and the brand evaluation. Even after a 24-hour delay, the effect still takes place as long as consumers have not been given an opportunity to attenuate death-induced anxiety. Finally, the authors show that foreign brands can counter the negative effects of a death-related media context by making a prodomestic advertising claim.

Were Eli Lilly Unaware of This Study?

The authors of this study [1] claim that no competing interests exist. However, Julio Licinio presented a talk at Lilly Research Laboratory in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 16, 2005, on “Depression, Antidepressants, and Suicidality: A Critical Appraisal” and “Suicide in the U.S. 1960–2002: Impact of Fluoxetine Prescriptions”, slightly over a year before the study was published. This is noted on page 19 of Dr. Licinio’s 51 page curriculum vitae [2]. In a Medical News Today article [3], Eli Lilly claims to not have known about this study until it was accepted for publication. I don’t see how they could not have known about Dr. Licinio’s study, when he presented on the very topic at Eli Lilly Research Laboratory in Indianapolis on March 16, 2005.

Tomorrow's News Today: Astrology, Fate, and the Way Out

ABSTRACT By looking in detail at the philosophical and technical intricacies of a set of ancient astrological theories and their treatment of issues of determinism and free will, I show that there are good reasons to question the grounds for a distinction between science and pseudoscience, modern and premodern.

[T]he Africans, Asians, and Latin Americans .[. .1 are news today because of their nationalism [. ..] examples the black [people] in this country should use in [our] struggle for independence. (And that is what the struggle remains, for independence-from the political, economic, social, spiritual and psychological domination of the white man). The struggle is not simply for equality, or betterjobs, or better schools, and the rest of those half-hearted liberal cliches; it is to completely free the black [people]from the domination of the white man. Nothing else. -LeRoi Jones

Chapter 5: Letters 1914

I came out with G.N. [ewman] last night. Thy friend Janet [Campbell] was at dinner and afterwards G.N. [ewman] talked about his own position at the Board (of Education). I think it is pretty clear now that he will refuse the insurance post as the PM wants him to stay at the B. of E. and he will get a larger salary and a freer hand. […] I hope thou art having a good time with Barbara, darling. G.N. and Ada [Newman] are very sorry not to have thee here. After tea we shall continue our talk — if we promulgated all we agree to three would be a Quaker Kikuyu!If thou hast seen the D. News today read Gardiner's article on the Crown Prince.

Consumers and Food Policy in North America

Thank you for inviting me to address this joint meeting of American and Canadian economists. Especially I want to thank my good and longtime friend, Sylvia Lane. As a layperson, I was flattered by the invitation to address an audience of scholars. As a government official frequently dependent upon the quality, and even the quantity, of your work, I was delighted to accept. And since the day I accepted this invitation, I have been compiling my wish list of research projects. Anyone who takes more than a cursory look at our more successful policies will see they have usually been based on the economic and policy research of people such as you. I applaud your past successes. But I come before you today to ask you for help in forging new successes: to turn more of your talents to public policy and social science research in the area of food and nutrition. We meet at an exciting time for you and your profession. I feel relatively certain that none of you chose economics as a vocation in the fond hope that you would wind up as lead editorials in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. The economics Journal, maybe; not Wall Street's. But you may have been wrong. Food is news today. And two interesting and important things are happening right now-both of which involve you. First, the traditional debate over agricultural policy has been expanded into a debate over food and nutrition policy. We are no longer concerned only with the mechanisms for producing, processing, and distributing food, and the kinds of economic returns that are available to producers, processors, and distributors. Within the past few years, the traditional arena has been enlarged to include a debate over food composition, nutritional values, chemical additives, and costs to consumers. And these new issues may have an enormous impact on the economic returns of producers, processors, and food retailers. Second, we have reached a point in our national life when the people of this country, while still willing to use government action to attack a wide variety of problems, are quite rightly unwilling to tolerate unforeseen, unintend d, and unfortunate consequences of those actions. We are, it seems to me, in desperate search of competence in government. Both of these developments are of enormous importance to your profession. You, in turn, can play a crucial role in resolving the problems which they present.

From Logical Systems to Conceptual Populations

It is hardly news today to report that philosophers of science share a widespread feeling that methods of analysis which have served them well for half a century are reaching the limits of their usefulness. During much of the twentieth century, they have been concentrating on those aspects of science which lend themselves most readily to analysis using the tools of formal logic; they have given detailed, sophisticated accounts of the ways in which the general principles of a natural science are - or might conceivably be - applied to entail statements about its particular phenomena; and they have done much to make clearer the part played in natural science by logical systems. The resulting debate has been complex and on a high level of abstraction: primitive terms, protocol-statements, hypothetico-deductive systems, inductivism … verification, falsification, confirmation, corroboration, refutation ….
