<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This module was a group project, for
which I was working with Gareth Messenger and Jake Gable. Our chosen
topic was “A Place Called England”-a folk song written by Maggie
Holland. We were to film and produce a 5 minute video to go with the
song. </span>
</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> Our first task was to listen to the
song, and discuss what we thought it was about, and what message it
was trying to get across, and think of how we can create that message
through film. We decided that the song was mainly about how England
is being destroyed and ruined by industrialization. This was the
focus of our piece.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> For our paper edit, each member of
the group went through the song lyrics individually, and added in
their ideas for locations and shots. We then sent the documents
around to each other, and commented on each others ideas, pointing
out any potential problems, or adding in other possible locations. By
doing this, we came up with a basic plan of what we wanted to film,
and how it would look that the whole group agreed on. </span>
</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> Before we started filming we wanted
to organise the music. I contacted Maggie Holland, the original
artist, but she now lives in Edinburgh, and also had a tour scheduled
in Belgium. My next idea was to contact June Tabor, who is also well
known for performing this song, but unfortunately she was in the
middle of a tour, and her agents would not let me contact her
directly. I also tried looking on Youtube for some footage of the
song, and sent several emails requesting copyright permission, but
unfortunately received no response. We decided to continue with the
project and try to resolve our music issues another time.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> The next stage of the project was
to go and film individually. We separated up the song, and each took
various sections. For example, I live in Weston-super-Mare, and know
of a limestone gorge nearby, which is featured in the song. So I was
responsible for filming that. I visited the locations I wanted to
film in first, to try and see if there would be any potential
lighting issues etc, and then went back to film when the weather was
how we wanted it to be. For example, for the country shots, we wanted
it to be a nice, clear day, whereas for the industry shots, we wanted
it to be quite grey and miserable so that the message of the song
came across not only through our filming, but because of the weather
as well.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> We review the footage together, and
pointed out things we liked and shots that we didn't think worked as
well. We discussed alternate shots and locations, and began planning
the next stages of filming. Whilst going out and filming, we decided
to try and film motion shots in the car. These worked really well
with our train footage, which gives the impression of a train
journey, looking out of the window at the countryside. This became a
main theme for our project. Using this idea, we decided to film
another train at night, to use at the end of the project. We were
hoping this would make it look like someone who has been travelling
all day, getting on the train when its bright and sunny, and getting
off at night.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> Once we had all our footage, we had
to resolve our problem with the music. We were advised to use a piece
of copyright free classical music, and read the song as a poem over
the top. This seemed like our only feasible idea, and so we used
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis. The
piece of music itself was 16 minutes long, and so we edited it into a
5 minute piece, with instruments that fit well with our footage. We
chose the most emotive sections of the piece and cut them together
with the soft beginning and faded end. This worked really well,
especially with our footage of rivers and streams.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Once we had the music edited
together, we focused on reading the song lyrics as a poem. We cut out
certain lyrics and verses, and recorded Jake reading them, as he has
a very soothing voice. We lined the poem up against the music, so
that they flow nicely together, and repeated certain lines to make it
seem really emotive.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> Our last task was to fit the
pictures with the poem and the music. We edited out any shots that
did not work, or that were badly filmed and out of focus, to leave us
with all our best quality shots, which we edited together with the
swell and stings of the music, along with the words of the poem. We
did not want it to be too literal, but we have tried to fit words and
pictures together. We used transitions such as cross dissolve to
layer pictures on top of each other. This works really well for the
shots of the stream and the swan.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> I think the piece could have been
better if we had spent more time planning, and filmed a wider variety
of shots. Some of the filming was of a very poor quality, for example
it was filmed without a tripod. I think this is disappointing for
such an important project. However, I think the group worked really
well together, listening to each others ideas and commenting
appropriately. We each did our share of filming and editing, and
although there were disagreements and issues between us, we did not
let it get in the way of the group project. I think overall it looks
very good, because we have made it very emotive, and the words,
pictures and music fit really well together.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> It is disappointing that we could
not get the original song due to copyright issues, but I think that
by using the classical music with the lyrics read as a poem, it makes
it slightly more emotional. I think our use of shots is varied and
interesting, but maybe not so much that it would keep the audience
interested for the full 5 minutes.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> To conclude, the group worked
really well together and have produced a very good piece, although it
may be seen as somewhat lacking in certain aspects, such as variety.
We experienced various issues such as corrupted tapes and copyright
issues, but resolved them together and worked as a team to complete
this project.</span></div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-19060187269627972962012-05-24T13:17:00.000+01:002012-05-24T16:03:46.511+01:00LAND Paper EditLAND PROJECT 2012 “A PLACE CALLED ENGLAND” <br />
<br />
Film 1 – DUR: 18-20 minutes<br />
<br />
Note that timings are only rough estimates at this moment, as are the locations because all can be discussed together. They are merely suggestions and options as to places that can be used to film. <br />
We can play around with the footage on location, different angles, shots, zoom, pull-focus to make it jazzed up.<br />
Main focus is the song. Interviews are not necessary for our piece, otherwise it will conflict with the song. <br />
For the song, we must continue contact with Maggie Holland. If we cannot film her, see if she will willingly send us down a studio recorded version of the song to us. OR, film Edinburgh Napier university to see if Media students will film her on our behalf. <br />
<br />
<strong>Verse One</strong><br />
<br />
<em>“I rode out one bright May morning, like a hero in a song,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Looking for a place called England, trying to find where I belong.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Couldn’t find the old flood meadow, nor the house that I once knew,</em><br />
<br />
<em>No sign of the little river, nor the garden where I grew.”</em><br />
<br />
• Sunrise (sped up) on the horizon beyond hillside, obvious countryside <br />
<br />
OR This idea works well, long shot from top of St. Catherine’s Hill, seeing the sun rise. Film same shot that evening, seeing it go down. Speed it up in the edit.<br />
<br />
Shot of Maggie Holland singing? Pictures? (Dependent on whether we meet) <br />
DUR: 6-10 secs<br />
<br />
• Shot of St George Flag flying in the wind. (Perhaps we can find a way to combine the two...sunrise coming up with a St George flag in view.<br />
<br />
• Fade sunrise shot into the next shot, little river.....trickling stream. Actuality of stream trickling – Obtain a feel for the river/stream. DUR: 6-10 secs. Possibly the River Itchen? Location: The John Donne walk? Have to be careful with fades, need to use them as sparingly as possible to maintain classy look. Perhaps a gradual fade in/out or cross dissolve from one scene to the next?<br />
<br />• A quaint house in the country next to a river, pan from the house to the stream/river.<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Two</strong><br />
<br />
<em>“I saw town and I saw country, motorway and sink estate,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Landlord in his rolling acres, poor man still outside the gate.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Retail park and burger kingdom, prairie field and factory farm,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Run by men who think that England’s only a place to park their car.”</em><br />
<br />
• Shot overlooking a town centre amongst some countryside, possibly St Catherine’s Hill, overlooking Winchester with hills and countryside in side. Zoom VISUAL. DUR: 10 secs <br />
<br />
• For ‘motorway’ lyric, film whilst in the car driving along a motorway stretch, speed it up, also there are several bridges overlooking the motorway that we can film from. May look good doing this at night with all the streetlights?<br />
<br />
• Focus on people’s feet whilst they are walking through the high street.<br />
<br />• “Landlord in his rolling acres, poor man still outside the gate” – THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Need a farmer, or some kind of land owner. TRACTOR/COMBINE HARVESTER/PROPERTY DEVELOPER. DUR: 6secs <br />
<br />
• Fade, from landlord in his acres, to a retail park.....with a burger king. Then cross dissolve into prairie field, possibly film Sussex Prairies <br />
DUR: 10-12 secs. <br />
<br />
• A good shot would be of fuel emitting cars clogging up the countryside.<br />
<br />• Focusing on the stark difference between the quiet prairie fields and the smoggy factories.<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Three </strong><br />
<br />
<em>“But as the train pulled from the station, through the wastelands of despair,</em><br />
<br />
<em>From the corner of my eye, a brightness filled the smoky air.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Someone’s sown a patch of sunflowers, though the earth is sooty black,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Marigolds and a few tomatoes, right beside the railway track.”</em><br />
<br />• Steam railway-actuality of “CHOO CHOO”. Possibly Dymchurch Steam Railway in Kent. VISUAL – Train coming away from the station, into a field. Pulling out. DUR: 10secs <br />
<br />• Following a train as it travels through the country. Maybe one person filming through the window of the train (permission needed) or find a location and film the train going past (similar to in the Railway Children when they sit and watch the trains go by)<br />
<br />• Think industrial places here. Coming into Reading from Winchester on the train or coming into Clapham Junction, all you see is terraced houses. Rows of them with smoking chimneys. Film this out of window on whilst on train to these destinations. Mid-shots. Perhaps out of focus, then pulling into focus slowly with the focusing ring on the lens, like a blurred picture becoming clear. Train slows down coming into these stations so this would be easy to film.<br />
<br />
• Go into sunflowers VISUAL –Up close nice shots, Bees on sunflowers, real tight colour filled images – make it vibrant, extravagant. Street End Farm in Bishops Waltham grows sunflowers – BIG ones) DUR: 8-12 secs<br />
<br />
• Same again with Marigolds and tomatoes – ALLOTMENTS <br />
<br />• Get an allotment owner to dig up some tomatoes or plant some. Shots of them looking into distance with shovel on a hot spring/summer’s day. DUR: 5-8 secs <br />
<br />• Railway track with Marigolds will be hard to find. Maybe just the marigolds shot fade with another shot of steam railway over top of one another so both are on screen but entwined with each other. DUR: 5-8 secs<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Four</strong><br />
<br /><em>“Down behind the terraced houses, in between the concrete towers,</em><br />
<br />
<em>There’s compost heaps and scarlet runners, secret gardens full of flowers.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Mehta grows her scented roses right beneath the big jet’s path</em><br />
<br />
<em>Bid a fortune for her garden, Eileen turns away and laughs.”</em><br />
<br />
• Terraced houses and concrete towers. London towns.– Overview of terracing with building landmarks in Busy areas. The contrast between City and Countryside. LONDON. DUR: 4-6 secs <br />
<br />
• Compost heaps and Garden estates – Secret Garden – a relatively unknown place, such as Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Estate. DUR: 5 secs<br />
<br />
• ROSES - Also, at Mottisfont Garden DUR: 4-6 secs<br />
<br />
• “Big Jet” – fade a plane flying over St Catherines Hill over with the shots of roses? Eastleigh Airport-find the best location to get shots of planes taking off and landing. DUR: 4-5 secs<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Five</strong><br />
<br />
<em>So rise up George and wake up Arthur, time to rouse you from your sleep.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Deck the horse with sea green ribbons, drag the old sword from the deep.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Hold the line for Dave and Daniel, as they tunnel through the clay,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Whilst the oak in all its glory, soaks up sun for one more day.</em><br />
<br />
• Shot of old couple waking and leaving bed? Opens curtains, sun is shining in. For next verse, mid shots of farm yard area. Horses, stables etc. Try moreton-in marsh, Gloucestershire, or Millets Farm. <br />
<br />
“The Oak in all it’s glory” – shots inside a woods. Camera on floor, focusing up on oak trees, slow zoom or focus into close up shots seeing sun shine through the tops of the trees, peaking in through gaps in the light. – New Forest, Boxhill woods, or Corpse Wood up by Sarum Road? Another idea is to find a grand oak tree standing alone, looking regal in a field?<br />
<br />
• Rise up George and Rise up Arthur....statues of them, similar to the statue of King Alfred in Winchester. If we do a worms eye shot looking up at them...make them look tall and regal.<br />
<br />
• Clearly need to focus on the oak tree. Big, strong and mighty, with the sun shining behind it. <br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Six</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Come all ye who grow in freedom, whatever the land that gave you birth,</em><br />
<br />
<em>There’s room for you, both root and branch, as long as you love the English earth.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Room for vole and room for orchid, room for all to grow and thrive,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Just less room for the fat land owner, on his ass in his four wheel drive.</em><br />
<br />
• Opening line of this verse, baby being born/cradled in mother’s arms faded over image of the countryside. “English earth” – close up and actuality of soil, things being dug up with spade. Justaposition of farmers working hard and sweating compared to ‘city boys’ preferably shot of middle aged balding portly men stood talking in suits, laughing?<br />
<br />
• This gives a very poignant message of how old, traditional country uprises against town, industries and factory. This is a very important part of the story and is going to need considerable planning to get the right emotions across.<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Seven</strong><br />
<br />
<em>For England is not flag nor empire, it’s not money and it’s not blood.</em><br />
<br />
<em>It’s limestone gorge and granite fell, it’s Wealden clay and Severn mud.</em><br />
<br />
<em>It’s blackbird singing from the may tree, lark ascending through the scales,</em><br />
<br />
<em>Robin watching from your spade, and English earth beneath your nails.</em><br />
<br />
• “England is not flag nor empire”-a regal castle, or perhaps Buckingham Palace, with flags flying. <br />
<br />
• Limestone gorge-Burrington (near Weston-super-Mare) beautiful cliffs with mountain goats.<br />
<br />
• Severn mud-perhaps children squelching in welly boots in the mud (need permission)<br />
<br />
• Blackbird singing in the may tree-ac tuality of birdsong<br />
<br />
• English earth beneath your nails- people digging in their allotments, pulling vegetables out of the garden (another idea is vegetables being pulled out of the garden, then washed, cooked, and served for a family dinner? Maybe somewhere else in the song)<br />
<br />
<strong>Verse Eight</strong><br />
<br />
<em>So here’s two cheers for a place called England, sore abused but not yet dead,</em><br />
<br />
<em>A Mr. Harding sort of England, hanging in there by a thread.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Here’s two cheers for the crazy diggers, now their hour has come at last.</em><br />
<br />
<em>We shall sow the seeds they saved in common wealth and common land.</em><br />
<br />
• This is the conclusion of the song. Really need to bring everything together for this ending.<br />
<br />
• Idea of the diggers taking back their land from the industrialization of the country.<br />Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-71226341682853739842012-05-14T15:33:00.003+01:002012-05-24T15:59:56.880+01:00Magazine SpreadsArticle 1: Confessional Interview<br />

<strong><u>Critical Reflection</u></strong><br />
<br />
For my confessional interview I chose to do a "triumph over tragedy" story, on Jim William-who I went to school with. Although it was advised not to use somebody you know, once I had explained the story, I was told to use it for this module. I asked Jim if he was happy to be interviewed, and we agreed that he would have full copy approval of what was included in the article. The reason for this is because a lot of the interview contains confidential information. The story is that Jim suffered a traumatic childhood at the hands of his mother-who suffered from mental illness. He was eventually put into a foster home and later adopted. This story in itself would have worked for a magazine spread, but when Jim reached his teens, he began to suffer from mental illness-resulting in several suicide attempts, and eventually being admitted into a psychiatric unit. Now that he has recovered, he is training to become a mental health nurse, in order to help other people suffering from similar issues that he did. This is such a heart-warming story that I really wanted to use it for this project. <br />
<br />
As mentioned above, I interviewed Jim, and we went through the transcript together, picking out things to include, and things that he wanted left out, until we had a basic outline for the article. I wrote up the interview and sent him the finished spread, to make sure he was happy with it, before uploading it.<br />
<br />
I chose to use black and white pictures to make the article more emotive. The first picture, of Jim sat alone, to introduce the story, and the second picture, of him with his girlfriend, both looking happy, to show how he has overcome his problems. The pictures are copyright free and positioned in a way to break up the text. I used colour to try and attract attention. For example in the headline, the word "BEAT" is in red, to give it more emphasis. I also used coloured boxes for quotes and different sections of the story, such as being adopted. I feel this works really well, as it shows the flow of the interview, and separates the text. <br />
<br />
The box at the bottom features helplines for readers who are affected by the article, or who know someone who is. I used a bright coloured background and font to make it stand out, because it contains vital information that can help people suffering from mental illness.<br />
<br />
The article as a whole is based on magazines such as Pick Me Up, and Chat, full of real life stories, told by the victim. I wrote the article in Jim's words, so it sounded like him telling the story, rather than me reporting on it. It is also from these kinds of magazines that I have seen the advice box at the bottom, and chose to include it in the hope that it could potential help other people overcome mental illness. <br />
<br />
<br />
My second article is a feature I wrote last year, which I have turned into a magazine spread. It is titled "The ULTIMATE University Survival Guide" and as the title suggests, is aimed at students about to start University. The article is written from a personal perspective, as when I first arrived in Winchester, I struggled to settle in. Now that I am about to graduate, I have learnt several things, which I wanted to pass on to other students. <br />
<br />
I used creative commons photographs to break up the text and draw attention to the page, and colourful text to show that it is a light-hearted article. I broke up the text into different sections, so that it would be easier to read and not put people off because of big chunks of text.<br />
<br />
I did not want the article to be boring, or for the tips included to be obvious, so I tried to add in my own personal experiences to lighten the tone. For example, a student packing for University is going to bring clothes, books, and a laptop...but probably not a pair of earplugs! <br />
<br />
My favourite piece in this article is my food thieves deterrence techniques, as I think they are original and quirky, and not what would be expected.<br />
<br />
I originally had several other tips I wanted to include, but did not want to overload the page with text and information, and so chose the most important ones. I felt I had to include all the information on safety. in the hope that readers would follow the advice and stay out of danger. An example of this is having the phone number of a licensed taxi company stored into your phone, and not walking alone late at night.<br />
<br />
In terms of the overall look of the article, the big bold headline attracts the readers attention, but I wanted to make it look more interesting, and so tilted the word "Ultimate" so that it looks like it has been stamped into the headline to change "The University Survival Guide"-which sounds official and a bit dull and boring, to "The ULTIMATE University Survival Guide"-seems much more interesting and exciting.<br />
<br />
I tried to be as responsible as possible whilst writing the article. I did not want to encourage typical student behaviour, such as binge drinking and one night stands. Instead I wanted to provide advice on how to deal with these situations, staying safe. and also saving money-as that is one of the biggest problems among students. <br />

I am really pleased with both of my articles. They greatly contrast each other, and would be found in completely different types of magazines for different audiences. I think there are improvements that could be made with both spreads: In article 1: the interview could be more concise and to the point, with more quotes included. and article 2 could include more information about things that students wouldn't really know or think about, but on the whole, I think the articles work really well for their different audiences, because they are eye-catching and informative.<br />

Our RSL is about to be launched, and I'm busy producing news bulletins. For the next 4 weeks I will be living in the radio studio, from 7.30am-6.05pm. I have a rota system with the MA students, so that there are 3 or 4 of us in for the morning shift (7.30-1) and then a different team in the afternoon (1.30-6). Due to other commitments, my weekend team consists of only 2 people per shift. The idea is for the morning team to update the current bulletin, but also to begin producing the afternoon bulletin, so that when the teams change, there is a bulletin ready for them to read through. Their task is then to begin producing the bulletin for the following day, which will be updated the following morning with any current stories or information before it is broadcast.<br />I think the next 4 weeks are going to be a challenge, especially with other academic and medical commitments I am obliged to do, such as law blogs, law revision, the law exam next week, as well as physiotherapy and hydrotherapy appointments.<br />The biggest challenge is on a Thursday and a Friday, as the MA students have lectures all day. This means I am on my own to produce and present the bulletins on both of these days, although we are currently looking for people to help out on these days.<br />I am really excited about the RSL and looking forward to finding out how many listeners we have. I have learnt a lot about radio production this semester, and have enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, to the point where I am even considering a career in radio.<br />Sound Radio is broadcasting on 87.7fm until 21st December, in Winchester and the surrounding areas.Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-61266587463450441592011-11-18T14:18:00.003+00:002011-11-18T14:25:59.674+00:00Sound Radio's 24 hour broadcast for Children in NeedFor Children in Need, Thomas Sampson, Aarran Summers, Maxine Knight and I put on a 24 hour radio show. The show ran from 3pm Wednesday until 3pm Thursday and raised a whopping £1059.84 for the charity!<div>Although it was tiring, it was an amazing experience. I was able to deal with any technical issues that occurred, and adjust sound levels etc.</div><div>The beginning of the broadcast was full of technical problems, as the Myriad system kept shutting down. I reloaded the system whilst the presenters apologised for the difficulties, and talked about what was coming up in the show. </div><div>Most of the broadcast went smoothly, there were a few minor issues, which between us we managed to fix. </div><div>We all took it in turns to present so that the official presenters could have breaks, and the 4 of us got on really well. There was a really good vibe during the show, and although we were all quite tired, I think everyone really enjoyed it.</div><div><br /></div><div>To donate to Children in Need, please go to www.justgiving.com/soundradio</div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-17109918692677005792011-11-07T10:43:00.005+00:002011-11-07T12:20:32.155+00:00Media Law: Defamation and PrivilegeOur third lecture in media law covered defamation. <div>A statement is defamatory if it tends to do any of the following:</div><div><ul><li>expose a person to hatred, ridicule or contempt;</li><li>cause them to be shunned or avoided;</li><li>damage their reputation in their business, trade or profession</li><li>make right-thinking members of society think low of them</li></ul></div><div>A defamatory statement that is written down is a form of libel. If the statement is spoken, it is seen as slander.</div><div>The way a statement is tested for defamation is to see what a reasonable thinking person would take the statement to mean. This is also the same for inference-a statement with a secondary meaning that can be understood by someone without any special knowledge.</div><div><br /></div><div>In a trial for a defamation case, a jury is involved. The judge will decide if the statement is capable of having a defamatory meaning, and the jury will then decide if the statement was defamatory considering the circumstances.</div><div><br /></div><div>The claimant suing over a statement must be able to prove that:</div><div>1) It is defamatory</div><div>2) It may be reasonably understood to be about him/her</div><div>3) It has been published to a third party.</div><div><br /></div><div>The test of identification is whether the statement would lead people who knew the claimant to believe that they are the person being referred to.</div><div><br /></div><div>Everytime a defamatory statement is repeated, it is seen as a fresh publication. Therefore, a journalist is liable for repeating a defamatory statement made by an interviewee or source. With internet publications, each time the article is accessed, it is seen as a fresh publication.</div><div><br /></div><div>A person who has been defamed can sue the reporter, the editor, the publisher, the broadcaster, or anyone else who participated in publishing the defamatory material.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are several defences for journalists to avoid being sued for libel. </div><div>The main ones are:</div><div><ul><li>Justification</li><li>Fair comment</li><li>Absolute privilege</li><li>Qualified privilege</li></ul><div>The justification defence is a complete defence to prove that the statement is substantially true. This defence only applied to facts, and the defendant must prove not only the meaning of the words, but any innuendo or inference.</div></div><div>This is important in journalism, as investigative journalists must always make sure that they can prove their facts in court.</div><div><br /></div><div>A defendant can plead that a statement expressing comment was an honest opinion on a matter of public interest. This is the fair comment defence. The comment must be based on true facts that are either stated in the story or are widely known. </div><div><br /></div><div>Privilege was covered in the 4th lecture of term. There are occasions when public interest demands freedom of speech without risk of proceedings for defamation, even if the statements made are defamatory and even if they turn out to be untrue. These are referred to as privileged, which exists under common law and statute.</div><div><br /></div><div>Absolute privilege is a complete defence for defamation. It does not matter whether the words are true or false, or whether they were used maliciously. However, a journalist may be reporting on an occasion protected by absolute privilege, but this does not mean that the report is similarly protected. For example, Members of Parliament can say whatever they want in the House of Commons, but reports on the parliamentary debates are only covered by qualified privilege. </div><div>The only time journalists are covered by absolute privilege is when reporting court cases. This is vital because what is said in court is often highly defamatory, however privilege does not apply if the hearing is held in private.</div><div><br /></div><div>For absolute privilege to apply, a report of a court case must be fair and accurate by:</div><div><ul><li>presenting a summary of both sides</li><li>contains no substancial inaccuracies</li><li>gives proportionate weight to both sides.</li></ul><div>If any of these are missing, then the protection of privilege is lost.</div></div><div>Allegations made in court report must be worded correctly so that the allegation is not stated as a fact. Also, in order to maintain absolute privilege, court reports should be published as soon as it is practicable to do so.</div><div><br /></div><div>Qualified Privilege is available as a defence where it is important that the facts should be freely known in the public interest. The protection provided by qualified privilege is similar to that of absolute privilege, but the requirements that must be met differ. To be protected by qualified privilege, the published report must be fair and accurate, and published without malice. A general requirement for qualified privilege is that the matter published must be of public concern, and so the publication is for the publics benefit (i.e. public interest).</div><div><br /></div><div>The Reynolds Defence protects the publication of defamatory material, provided that it was a matter of public interest and was the product of responsible journalism. During the Reynolds vs Times Newspapers (2000) 2 AC 127 case in the House of Lords, Lord Nicholls outlined 10 circumstances which should be taken into account when deciding if the media qualify for this defence. These are:</div><div><ul><li>The seriousness of the allegation. The more serious the charge, the more the public is misinformed and the individual harmed if the allegation is not true.</li><li>The nature of the information, and the extent to which the subject is a matter of public concern.</li><li>The source of the information. Some informants have no direct knowledge of the events, or may be being paid for their stories.</li><li>The steps taken to verify the information.</li><li>The status of the information. The allegation may have already been the subject of an investigation which commands respect.</li><li>The urgency of the matter. News is often a perishable commodity.</li><li>Whether comment was sought from the claimant. He may have information that others do not possess or have not disclosed. This will not always be necessary.</li><li>Whether the article covered the claimant's side of the story.</li><li>The tone of the article. A newspaper can raise queries or call for an investigation. It does not need to adopt allegations as statements of fact.</li><li>The circumstances of the publication, including the timing.</li></ul><div>Journalists see these points as a list of hurdles they must jump in order to get this defence.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>(McNaes 20th Edition)</div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-14186054616786673422011-11-07T10:07:00.003+00:002011-11-07T10:12:25.438+00:00Sound RadioSound Radio will be back on air shortly, and most of my time is now being spent preparing for the RSL.

In my blog post I linked to the hierarchy I posted in Year One, which explains all of this in detail.<br /><br />Our second lecture covered crime reporting.<br />A crime prosecution is started when:<br /><br /><ul><br /><li>Police make an arrest.</li><br /><li>A person is charged with a crime</li><br /><li>A magistrates issues a warrant or summons</li></ul><br /><p>A person accused of a crime will appear first at a magistrates court, but more serious cases will be dealt with by a Crown Court.</p><br /><p>There are many dangers in crime reporting, including libel, defamation and contempt of court. For example, if a media organisation reports an offence or charge innacurately, it may be sued for libel by the defendant.</p><br /><p>There are 7 points that must be included in crime reporting:</p><br /><ul><br /><li>Names, ages, addressess and occupations of defendant.</li><br /><li>Charges faced.</li><br /><li>Name of court and magistrates names.</li><br /><li>Names of solicitors and barristers present</li><br /><li>Date and place of where the case is adjourned</li><br /><li>Arrangements of bail</li><br /><li>Whether legal aid is granted.</li></ul><br /><p>There are 3 types of crime:</p><br /><ul><br /><li>Indictable only: Dealt with at Crown Court. Possible sentence of 5 years +</li><br /><li>Either way: Can go to Crown Court or Magistrates Court.</li><br /><li>Summary: Stays at Magistrates.</li></ul><br /><p>Magistrates have the power to sentence criminals to:</p><br /><ul><br /><li>6 months in jail</li><br /><li>Up to £5000 fine.</li><br /><li>Suspended sentence</li><br /><li>Conditional discharge</li><br /><li>Community orders</li><br /><li>ASBOs</li></ul><br /><p>Crown Courts deal with the most serious criminal cases, and all indictable-only offences such as rape, robbery and murder. </p><br /><p>The key stages in a trial at Crown Court are:</p><br /><ul><br /><li>Prosecution opening</li><br /><li>Key prosecution witness</li><br /><li>Defence opening</li><br /><li>Key defence witness</li><br /><li>Judges summing up</li><br /><li>Jury sent out, deliberation and verdict</li><br /><li>Sentencing.</li></ul><br /><p>A jury can reach a verdict by majority, but the media should only report the verdict, not whether it was made by a majority decision.</p><br /><p>It is also illegal to take pictures of, film, or sketch people in court, or take audio recordings of a court case. It is also illegal to try and discover or publish, what was discussed between the jury, and how each juror voted.</p><br /><p>There are certain people that cannot be identified in crime reports.<br />These include:</p><br /><ul><br /><li>A defendant or witness under the age of 18</li><br /><li>A victim or alleged victim of a sexual offence.</li></ul><br /><p>Anonymity in sexual offence cases can be waived if the defendant wishes.</p><br /><p>The biggest risk for journalists in reporting on crime is contempt of court. This is committed if a reporter publishes anything which could affect an "active case".<br />A court can order the media to postpone a court report if it believes it will create a substantial risk to the case.</p>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-52980798917856687872011-10-24T10:22:00.003+01:002011-10-24T10:50:02.187+01:00Radio Bulletin Week 4 feedbackThis is my personal feedback for this weeks radio bulletin.<div>I decided to pre-record the bulletin this week, to give me a chance to understand how to use all the equipment on my own, and be able to control the sound levels of the bed and the recording without trying to read the script at the same time. </div><div>I edited the WINOL bulletin, and found other local and national stories with audio to fill the bulletin. It was recorded, edited and finished by Wednesday night, but I was well aware that there could be more important news between then and Friday evening that would need to go into the bulletin.</div><div>As I could have guessed, one of the biggest stories broke on Thursday. The death of Colonel Gadaffi. I knew this had to lead the bulletin, and so wrote a script, and got some audio cuts from IRN. </div><div>I edited the beginning of the bulletin, and decided to read live until the first audio clip from the pre-record (Julie's police investigation). I then played the pre-recorded bulletin until the final audio clip (Marwell Wildlife) and read the sport and sign-off live. This was so that there would not be a noticeable change in audio from live to pre-record, because it was broken up with an audio cut.</div><div>I had to make a snap decision to cut out a sports story, while I was reading the top sports piece. This was because the bulletin would have over-run if I had included it, which I was keen not to do, as the radio station follows a schedule, with the pre-flirt show starting at 6.15. I finished the bulletin at 6.11pm, which gave enough time for the next show to be set up.</div><div>I feel that the bulletin went really well this week. I had to overcome issues to a deadline, as the audio clips would not import onto the system at 5.45pm so I had to go back and change the settings on them, and then have them imported and ready by 6pm. I am also pleased that I managed to add to and re-edit the bulletin when breaking news occurred, and still meet my deadline.</div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-5933780467872735782011-10-21T15:34:00.002+01:002011-10-21T15:38:42.950+01:00Final Year ProjectFor my final year project, along with Jake Gable, I have created a website for the HCJ lectures. The website is www.hcjfyp.weebly.com<div><br /></div><div>So far I have set up all the pages, and completed the introduction and the timeline. </div><div>I have added pages for some of the philosophers, the Greek philosophers are completed and I am currently working on the page for Francis Bacon. I will continue to work on the remaining pages over the coming weeks.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is no content on the Year One and Year Two pages at the moment.</div><div>Me and Jake have recorded 2 podcasts, which we are about to edit and upload. I will add some lecture notes at a later date.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once we have done some more work on the website, we will start to update it regularly with lecture notes and podcasts, in order to help the year one and two journalism students with their work on the History and Context of Journalism.</div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-40167191933275368292011-10-21T15:32:00.002+01:002011-10-21T15:34:29.995+01:00Media LawUnfortunately, after a hospital appointment, I was not able to attend the law lecture, however I will shortly make a long blog post about everything that has been covered so far.

These are broadcast every Friday at 6pm. <div><br /></div><div>The way that I put the bulletin together is to take the audio cuts from the WINOL bulletin, and re-write the script, as well as find my own local and national news with audio cuts to include as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>The bulletin is aimed to be 10 minutes long, however they have only been approx 8 minutes so far. </div><div><br /></div><div>The first week I had help from the Radio Society to use the equipment. In the second week, I had someone with me to operate the mixer, whilst I read the script, however, in the third week, I was on my own, and had to rely on my own knowledge to use the equipment. I used the feedback I had been given previously to try and improve the bulletin, by lowering the volume of the bed, and talking slower.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today is my 4th bulletin. I had already put it together on Wednesday, and was very confident on how it sounded, however after Colonel Gadaffi was shot dead, I knew I would need to re-edit the bulletin and put this as my lead story. After changing the script and inserting the audio clips for the story, the bulletin is ready to go.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think that the challenges I have faced have helped me to improve the bulletin each week, and the fact that I have had to update and edit the bulletin as news breaks, shows that I am working well under pressure.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am looking forward to running hourly bulletins when the studio is ready, because I feel it will give me a new challenge, and really push me to produce a quality news bulletin, every hour.</div>Kaz

We were broadcasting on 87.9fm, with Access All Areas News.<br /><br />We arrived in Bridgwater at 9am, and started setting up the studio, and taking care of potential safety issues, such as loose wires. I was introduced to the Chief Executive of the YMCA, Martin Hodgson, who invited the team out for dinner in the evening.<br /><br />Soon after, a group of school children arrived to help run the radio station. We showed them how to use the equipment, and sent them off to interview members of staff.<br /><br />Much of the first day was setting up ready for our live broadcast. The jingles had already been made, and the station was just running a playlist of music and jingles.<br /><br />Once everything was set up for the next day, and the children had gone back to school, we went for a tour of the YMCA building, and had a briefing on what was happening for the Royal opening. We were issued badges, so that we would be allowed in the building the next day.<br /><br />We found our hotel and spent the free time before dinner writing the news bulletin for the live broadcast. We used Sky Radio News and IRN to look for potential stories, and chose the ones that were positive, fluffy stories, to keep the right mood for the following day.<br /><br />We met some of the YMCA staff for dinner and drinks, before heading back to the hotel.<br /><br />The next day, we were up at 7am, for a full english breakfast, before heading off to start the live broadcast. The attire was smart wear, with the men in lounge suits, and me in a waistcoat and smart trousers. We prepared all the pre-recorded material, and then started the live broadcast when the other member of the team, Steve Cross, arrived.<br /><br />There were 2 different news scripts prepared, one for odd hours (9,11,1,3) and one for even hours (10,12,2).<br /><br />There was a good mixture of live conversation, interviews and music, with a very relaxed feel to the show. I was sent out as a roving reporter to talk to groups of school children that had been invited to the event, and was asked to climb a rock wall, live on the radio.<br /><br />I also interviewed the carnival club, and we spoke to people who support the YMCA, and also the police and fire services.<br /><br />The group of school children from Otterhampton Primary School arrived, and we let them run the radio show, except for the news bulletins. They introduced interviews and songs, and played their favourite music. We found out that our Royal Guest was about to arrive, and so I was sent to the front entrance, to reveal him live.<br /><br />The presenter introduced me, and I broadcast that a helicopter had been heard overhead, and it has landed nearby, and so our Royal guest would be arriving soon. I answered some questions from the presenter about the atmosphere while our guest was being driven to the YMCA, and explained what was going on outside when he arrived. As the car pulled up, I revealed to Access All Areas 87.9fm that the Duke of Kent was outside the building and would be opening the Bridgwater YMCA later in the afternoon.<br /><br />After our live broadcast, we edited the recordings so that we could do a repeat of the days show the next day. We had to edit them to make the cuts flow smoothly, as there is a 30 second overlap between each recording.<br /><br />We set the recordings into the playlist, and played them on a loop, so that the whole show would be played on repeat, for anyone who has missed it.<br /><br />I found this was an absolutely amazing experience, and I learnt a lot about how to run a radio station, and how to create a radio show. I also found it really enjoyable, and it is definitely something I would want to do again, and a possible career choice.<br />I can take the things I have learnt over the last 2 days and use them to improve the WINOL radio bulletin.Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-22822430542776668062011-10-03T10:33:00.002+01:002011-10-03T10:36:18.553+01:00Media Law Year 3Our first media law lecture went over the basics that we learnt in our first year.<br />Check out my earlier blog post for the information from this weeks lecture.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.karenpurnell.blogspot.com/2009/09/introduction-to-media-law.html">www.karenpurnell.blogspot.com/2009/09/introduction-to-media-law.html</a>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-59065483004430179592011-10-03T09:58:00.002+01:002011-10-03T10:20:00.704+01:00WINOL Week 1So WINOL is back, and it's not only the 2nd years who are finding their feet. With the introduction of both the radio station and the magazine, some of the team have been thrown into the unknown.<br />My role this semester is Radio editor. I work closely with the radio society on Sound Radio providing all the news content.<br />The aim is to produce hourly news bulletins, using the automated service IRN, and local news. However, this is not possible until the radio studio is completed. My other responsibility is to create a weekly extended news bulletin-a radio version of WINOL.<br /><br />Although this week was only a dummy run for the 2nd years, I used the bulletin for the radio show. I re-edited the bulletin, removing the video, and cutting the audio into suitable interviews.<br />I re-wrote the script and timed all of the stories to get an outline of how long the bulletin would be.<br />It is important to have the correct timings in radio, so that there are no long silences on air. The radio society had told me that it didnt matter if I didn't fill the 10 minute slot, because they would have music ready to play as soon as the bulletin was over.<br /><br />After I had re-edited the WINOL bulletin, and written a new script, I timed the show at 4.30 minutes. I knew that I would need more to fill the slot, and so went along to the Winchester City charity event that evening with Gareth. We got interviews with Southampton footballer Matt Le Tissier, which I felt would be a great name to have on the radio bulletin.<br /><br />I spent the next day editing the new audio, and writing the script to go with it, as well as adding national stories from IRN, and checking to see if they had been updated throughout the day.<br /><br />By the time I was due to go live, I had timed the bulletin at 8 minutes. I was nervous about using the equipment, but Alex and Thomas from the radio society were really helpful and explained how everything works.<br /><br />I signed the contract with Sound Radio, and helped set up the bed and load the interview clips.<br />At exactly 6 o clock, I went live on Sound Radio with my first news bulletin.<br /><br />I feel like for a first attempt it went very well, but I know that it needs to be improved. The feedback I have had so far is to focus on writing the script for the target audience.<br /><br />I am currently being taught radio techniques to use while reading the news, which I hope will improve the show, and make it sound more like a professional news bulletin.Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525556758545258851.post-24495773443462396072011-08-20T16:48:00.003+01:002011-08-20T17:26:28.456+01:00The Ultimate University Survival Guide!So it's that time of the year when young people pack up their lives and move to University.
<br />Some people stay close to home, whereas others (like me) travel as far as 100 miles to their chosen University. It's a daunting time for all, but here's a guide to help you get through those first stressful few weeks!
<br />
<br />1) Save as much money as possible before you go to uni: Your student loan won't cover half as much as what you think it will. Try and build up some savings before you go.
<br />
<br />2) Buy a railcard: This only applies if you are going far away from home, and if you want to visit your family. A car is one of the most expensive things to take to uni...you are much better off buying a railcard and using it to save money on train tickets.
<br />
<br />3) Don't be shy: When I first got to University, I didn't speak to anyone for 5 hours. You have to remember that everyone is in the same position as you. Start with the people who you are sharing accomodation with. Introduce yourself, and then as a group, you can all introduce yourselves to the neighbours and so on. You will meet people on your course, and will be surprised how many people you know after a few weeks, just from meeting them at the Student Union!
<br />
<br />4)Learn to cook: Cooking is essential for University. Everyone needs to eat, and it is cheaper to buy the ingredients to cook your own food instead of buying food from the Uni canteen. I couldn't cook when I got to uni, and now I cook myself roast dinners, stir fry's etc...
<br />
<br />5) Don't be a snob: Following on from point 4...there is NOTHING wrong with supermarket brand products. Smart Price/Tesco value food does not taste much different to branded products, yet is much cheaper. Don't turn your nose up at it, because you probably wouldnt even notice what brand it was if your mum had cooked it for you.
<br />
<br />6) Find a job: As said in point 1, you will spend more money than you think at University. Having a job means you get an income every month. If you work for a big business such as ASDA, try transferring stores to one near your Uni.
<br />
<br />7) Learn your way around: Suggest a walk around the campus or town with those you live with so that you become familiar with the area. Don't leave it until you are late for a lecture to find out where the lecture is! Also, it helps to know the way home from the nightclubs in town, so you may want to find out rather than drunkenly stumbling home with no clue where you are.
<br />
<br />8) Be safe: Everyone knows what happens at University. You go out, get drunk, meet someone, bring them home with you etc...At this age you should all know about the birds and the bees...Regardless of the drunken state you are in, use contraception. Getting pregnant and dropping out of University is just a waste of all the hard work you put in to secure your place on your course.
<br />
<br />9) Socialise: Obviously, it's important to work hard at University...especially because of the money it will cost you. But first year is for socialising. Go out when you can, and when you can afford it. Go to all the best SU events, make the most of all the student offers in town...because after first year, it gets harder. The workload increases, and the effort you put in reflects the grade you get for your degree. I went out at every opportunity in first year, and now I barely go out once a week. Use the first year to get to know people, enjoy yourself and socialise, but prepare yourself that University is not an easy ride, and that years 2 and 3 will be a LOT more difficult.
<br />
<br />10) Have the right equipment: A laptop is essential for University, or even a Netbook or iPad. Anything small and compact that is easy to carry around for you to do University work whenever you have the time. I used to do my assignments on the train home, or in bed, and it is much easier to type lecure notes directly into your computer, rather than scribble them down and type them out later.
<br />
<br />11) Learn some drinking games: I know I shouldn't really encourage binge drinking...but from experience I know it is much cheaper to get together with some friends and play drinking games before a night out, rather than go out sober and spend more money than necessary on drink. For example, a 350ml bottle Tesco vodka is about £5. There are about 14 standard shots in a 350ml bottle. If you ordered 14 shots from a bar, you would probably pay about £40. Therefore, you can save £35 just buy pre-drinking, instead of buying all your drinks when you go out.
<br />
<br />12) Register with a doctor: Some people would argue that they don't need to because they are never ill etc...but if you had an accident and were taken to hospital, they would ask who your registered doctor is, so its better to have one. You never know when you may fall ill and need a doctor, so its easier to register with one just in case.
<br />
<br />13) Know how to contact people: Find out the contact details of people you may need to contact urgently. The most important would be your lecturers email address, as unlike in school, if you are struggling with work, nobody will help you unless you ask for it. Another important contact would be the number for your doctor, as mentioned above.
<br />
<br />14) Enjoy yourself: You only live once...make the most of it, and good luck!

<br />I spent the first morning at Bristol Crown Court with a reporter, to cover a list of people being sentenced. These included a 24 year old who had been caught growing his own cannabis, a woman who had been wrongly paid £27,000 in wages by the NHS, and a man who bit off another mans nose in a bar fight.
<br />After lunch I was sent out to do the daily vox pops (see previous blog entry) before being sent down to a graffiti event called "See No Evil".
<br />The event involves over 75 street artists, who have been granted permission from the council to use one of Bristol's dullest streets as their canvas. Graffiti artists have travelled from all over the world to take part in the event, and I was sent to interview them.
<br />One of the people I interviewed was BG183, who is a member of the Tats Cru, one off the most popular street artists in New York.
<br />The interviewed was featured in the report in the next day's paper, and I was credited with a byline.
<br />
<br />I got to the office the next day to be told I am now the "graffiti correspondent" for the Evening Post. I was sent back down to the event to ask members of the public what their opinion of the artwork was. I became quite involved in the event, talking to the artists and organisers, and was even invited to the finale party to celebrate the end of the event.
<br />
<br />My interviews also made the next days edition of the paper, along with another byline.
<br />
<br />I had a really good time at the Evening Post, and it has been very influential. I appreciate that as I have been there before, the editor sends me off on jobs on my own, rather than shadowing a reporter for the whole time I am there. I have learnt a lot, and improved my skills at talking to people and interviewing them. It has really helped build my confidence, and I am hoping that it will help me to secure a job when I leave University.

After catching up with the deputy Editor, and meeting the staff, I was invited to the morning conference.
<br />During the conference the reporters and editors discussed the stories for today, the layout of the paper and the order of the stories. We also viewed some of the pictures that had already been taken for some of the stories being covered.
<br />
<br />I was introduced to a reporter named Dominic, who took me out to our first story,
<br />We travelled to Knowle, where we met a woman whose house had burnt down. She had been lent a caravan from a friend, and her next door neighbour had offered for it to be parked on her driveway, as people were trying to break in to the destroyed house.
<br />The woman had been living in the caravan for 5 weeks, with her 18 year old daughter, who is insulin dependant. It was an upsetting interview, as the woman cried throughout, and was clearly struggling to deal with the events that had happened.
<br />
<br />While we were there, the daughter went into diabetic shock, because they had no fridge to keep her insulin in, no electricity, and no running water. The caravan didnt even have a toilet. It was a disturbing sight, but it was really good practise for journalism, as it is a clear example of an upsetting story, which the reporter cannot get emotionally involved in.
<br />
<br />Once we had interviewed the family, and taken pictures of the remains of the house, we went on to the Coroners Court for an inquest. The inquest was in to the death of a 16 month old, who was believed to have died of swine flu unexpectedly last year. We met and interviewed the parents of the child, and listened to the inquest, which found that the baby had in fact died of acute bronchiolitis, but the swine flu, and other viruses, had been found in the toddlers body.
<br />
<br />I was taken back to the office, and after a break for lunch, sent out on the streets of Bristol to do the daily Vox Pops. This requires approaching members of the public with a specific question, to get their opinion, as well as take a photo and their details. This is published in each episode of the Evening Post. My question was: "Do you think the police did enough to deal with the riots in Bristol?"
<br />
<br />The front page of the Evening Post on this day was CCTV images of 25 people wanted by police for the rioting.
<br />When I arrived at the office the next day, I found the building cordoned off with police tape, as every window around the office had been smashed overnight. This led speculation as to who would target the Evening Post office, as it was the only incident that occured overnight.
<br />We later found that a local Mitsubishi garage, which had also been featured on the front page of the paper with the CCTV images, had also been targeted, with 7 of their models being damaged. However, it is unclear if the incidents are linked.
<br />
<br />My first job of the day was to go to a press conference with the local police about the investigation into the riots in Bristol. Also there were reporters from the BBC, ITV and Sky. We were not given much new information on the investigation, but shown some new CCTV footage that the police have been given, and told about any arrests that have been made.
<br />
<br />When I got back to the office I was sent out to do the vox pops again, this time asking if people support their local post office. After failing to recruit anyone outside the office to take part, I decided the best place to go would be to the post office, as people who use it are more likely to have an opinion on it.
<br />
<br />After lunch I was forwarded very emails to write into articles. These were mostly fluff pieces, including a stray dog who was brought back from the brink of death by a kind stranger. This story required me to phone several people for quotes and for pictures, which is a really helpful skill to have for the future. Other stories I covered was a new free cycling scheme for children, and an award winning garden being opened to the public.
<br />
<br />I will be back for a few days next week, and will blog my experience then!

Empiricists also believe this. </p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">At the time phenomenology was founded, there were some who were idealists or rationalists, and some who were empiricists. The idealists thought that reality was all in the mind, whereas empiricists believed that perceptions are of things external to the mind, and that you acquire knowledge through experience and perceptions. Husserl was aiming to resolve this opposition. He believed in the power of intention: that if you want to see something, you will. </p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Existentialism is a moral code concerned with phenomenology. Existentialists believe that each individual person is free and responsible for themselves determining their own future through acts of will. They make their own choices and deal with the consequences. An example of this is in Albert Camus book-The Outsider, although Camus does not consider himself an existentialist. The book revolves around a character, Mersault, who makes choices in his life and lives with the consequences, which results in his execution.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Journalism is all about truth. According to Husserl, if you want to see something, you will. So you can choose what to see and what to believe.

The building blocks of reality are made up of objects. These combine to create state of affairs, which can be combined together to create complex facts. The world is a totality of positive facts. The space in which objects and states of affairs exist is called logical space.<div>The next part of the book describes how language works so that the world can be described accurately. According to Wittgenstein, language consists of complex propositions that are built from simple, elementary propositions. He believes that language mirrors reality by sharing its logical form. Names mirror objects, elementary propositions mirror states of affairs, and propositions mirror facts. Wittgenstein goes on to say that there are 3 types of propositions: Tautologies, which are always true. Contradictions, which are always false, and propositions with a sense, which can be true or false depending on what is or is not the case in the world.</div><div>Wittgenstein goes on to talk about pictures, and how in order to establish whether a picture is true or false, we must compare it to reality. </div>Kaz Purnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691101687419177262noreply@blogger.com0
