What does it mean for Ukraine, and Europe's ability to defend itself from Russia? As a palate-cleanser, we're also hearing all the secrets of the international TV trade. Why do people in so many countries end up watching national versions of the same reality and game shows? Jean Chalaby joins us to explain how this fascinating industry works.

As the BBC pauses its investigation into the alleged inappropriate behaviour of an unnamed presenter, we consider why this is still a story with more questions than answers. And what does it tell us about the influence The Sun still holds on public discourse? In a quirk of timing, it's also the week the corporation publishes its annual report showing what it describes as “another year of extraordinary delivery for audiences” but also outlines its failure to meet all its targets for engaging audiences.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Christina Malamateniou from City University (London, UK), and Lisa Di Prospero from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Toronto, Canada). Lisa and Christina are co-guest editors for the December 2022 JMIRS Leadership Special Issue. They talk to EIC Dr. Amanda Bolderston about their personal and professional experiences of leadership, curating the special issue and what they learned along the way. This is followed by three quotes from Sharona Bookbinder, Sandra Kwon and Shaunteque Harris, discussing the qualities of a great leader and their own leadership statements. Along with this podcast, a leadership-themed Spotify playlist was created by soliciting ideas from our readership. We asked contributors to describe why they chose the song, and a few of their responses are below: Unstoppable: Sia. In the face of adversity, I remember can put my armour on, and show how strong I am. Man in the Mirror: Michael Jackson. Real leadership, for me, is when you inspire those around you to become better versions of themselves. We can do this by helping those in need. It all starts from within (introspection). I Won't Back Down: Tom Petty. Sometimes as a leader there are things you need to stand up for. You may have to go about it in different ways - but you don't back down. Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell. To facilitate effective solutions, leaders must look at all sides of an issue and be flexible with their own positions as new information emerges. Lovely Day: Bill Withers. Every day is a new day with a potential new opportunity. Only the Young: Taylor Swift. I love the concept that our future lies in the hands of the young and that we need to nurture/guide them so that they can in turn, lead us. You Gotta Be: Des'ree. An uplifting and positively inspiring jam about the power of self-confidence and positive affirmations. It is about having the strength to figure out who you want to be (not simply what you want to do). Rise up: Andra Day. This song represents support, teamwork and care as inherent characteristics of good leaders. The melody also gives insight to the emotions and feelings one may experience during highs and lows in the workplace. Stand: Rascal Flatts. The song is about perseverance & strength & not giving up, even when things get hard. The best leaders have been tried & tested. They've walked through fire. If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley. This song was written after the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy it reminds you to keep striving for the betterment of everything around you. Million to One: Camila Cabello. I played the song before I had a big interview and it inspired me to shine and take the lead in showing others Symphony no.10, movement 2: Dimitri Shostakovich. The dynamics and the musical conflicts within this composition reflect both the inspirational and compassionate role of a leader. The Passenger by Iggy Pop. It reminds me that we are all just "passengers along for the ride of life", that we are all just taking in what happens to us and reminds me to be conscious of other people's experiences and personal situations. We can't know everything about a person's journey through life, so I try to treat everyone without judgment or assumption.

Bio:A reference in the samba world, the musician, arranger and educator, Gabriel Policarpo, stands out for his creative and virtuosic way of playing the repique. At the age of 13, he joined the school in his neighborhood in Niterói, G.R.E.S Unidos do Viradouro, and soon took the place of 1st repique and soloist of the school. In 2015 he composed the drum masters commission for the special group of the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Together with Bernardo Aguiar, he created the Pandeiro Repique Duo (PRD), that has been together for more than 10 years, and puts these two typical instruments of the Carioca soul side by side. Their first album featured Yamandú Costa, Nicolas Krassik, Carlos Malta, Marcos Suzano, Mestre Ciça and the African singer Ashimba. Since then, as an educator, he has performed on different stages and universities around the world, including The Juilliard School of Music, The Philadelphia University of Arts, City University London and Copenhagen Rytmisk Konservatorium. In addition to having founded the Escola de Ritmos, Bloco e Orquestra Batuquebato, an active bloco known in the streets of Rio de Janeiro. He also participates alongside big names in Brazilian and international music, both in concerts and in recordings. Highlight for recording and participation in the tour of the album “De bem com a vida”, winner of the Latin Grammy as the best samba album of 2016, with Martinho da Vila. He has shared the stage alongside other icons such as Alcione, Marcelo D2, Chico César, Hamilton de Holanda, Marcos Suzano, Carlos Malta, Roberta Sá, Shanghai, Gabriel Moura, Cátia de França and Guns N' Roses at Rock in Rio.In 2019, Contemporânea, the most traditional musical instrument industry in Brazil, launched a line of repiques with its signature. The debut of the Gabriel Policarpo Signature instruments took place at the 1st Meeting of Repiques in Niterói, held in August 2019 at the Viradouro quadra.

Hi all! Desiree, your Allsorts host here. Since my new book Good for Your Gut will be out in a few months, I thought it would be cool to take a peek into the publishing world. This week launches a special TWO PART series on what it's really like to write and create cookbooks. For part one, I'm speaking with my amazing literary agent, Carly Watters, to get under the hood of what it takes to make it in this business. Carly is a Senior VP and Senior Literary Agent at the Toronto-based P.S. Literary Agency and the co-host of the popular writing podcast “The Shit No One Tells You About Writing.” The publishing industry can seem so secretive and hard to penetrate, so if you're wondering how it all works, this week we're talking about the cookbook process from idea through to publishing. So let's open the book… About Carly Watters: Carly Watters holds a Masters Degree in Publishing Studies from City University London. As Senior VP and Senior Literary Agent at the Toronto-based P.S. Literary Agency, she represents award-winning and bestselling authors in the adult fiction and non-fiction categories and select children's books. Carly also co-hosts the podcast,“The Shit No One Tells You About Writing.” On this episode we chat about: Why the industry really is hard to break into (i.e. why the industry has always benefitted the privileged class who can afford to live in expensive cities like London and New York and work for little/no pay.) How to find or attract an agent and what exactly publishers are looking for in a cookbook Whether or not you can ACTUALLY make a living writing cookbooks these days—or as a literary agent? The state of the book industry (could it possibly be doing well?!?!) The importance of having a very strong food philosophy Why having a platform (AKA an audience) really is important to publishers The 3 times a year books come out and tend to do well, and why What a “query letter” is and what it typically encompasses How a book proposal is similar to a business plan (yep, how are you going to get people to actually BUY your book!) Why pre-ordering a book means the world to an author (did you know if books don't sell right away, book stores can send them back to the publisher?! Yikes!) Learned something new? Have questions? Keep the conversation going on Instagram! Have something to say about what you heard? Screenshot this episode and tag us @theallsortpod @carlywatters with your questions and/or comments!

The UK Government National Food Strategy, led by Henry Dimbleby the founder of restaurant chain Leon, has submitted a set of recommendations to help the nation become healthier, reduce obesity and become more sustainable. Will the strategy form the foundation of a healthier future? Or do we need to look deeper at key issues that face our dysfunctional food system? The Table Talk Podcast has spoken to the leading voices in the country to find out how we can fix our broken food system, and build a secure future. In this episode we look back to conversations with Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy, Jo Churchill MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care, Chris Venables, Head of Politics, Green Alliance and Dr Michael Clark, Researcher, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford to discuss the scale of the problems the UK faces, what the government proposes to do to fix them, and whether meat and dairy consumption needs to be dramatically reduced in order to meet climate targets. Join the conversation on Table Talk. About our guests Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy Tim Lang has been Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy since 2002. He founded the Centre in 1994. After a PhD in social psychology at Leeds University, he became a hill farmer in the 1970s in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire which shifted his attention to food policy, where it has been ever since. For years, he's engaged in academic and public research and debate about its direction, locally to globally. His abiding interest is how policy addresses the mixed challenge of being food for the environment, health, social justice, and citizens. What is a good food system? How is ours measured and measuring up? His current research interests are (a) sustainable diets, (b) the meaning of modern food security and (c) the implications of Brexit for the food system. Jo Churchill MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care Jo Churchill was brought up in East Anglia and, before moving to Suffolk two years ago, lived and worked in the rural county of Lincolnshire, with her husband and four daughters. Her early career started in retail for both regional and global brands and led her into site development and the building industry. Since 1994, she has run two successful contracting companies. In July 2016, she was elected, with joint highest nominations to join the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA).  In July 2016, she was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Rt Hon Mike Penning MP, Minister of State for Armed Forces.  In 2017, she was appointed PPS to Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for the Department of Health.  In 2018, she was appointed to Assistant Government Whip in HM Government.  In 2019, she was appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care in HM Government.

He has been involved in grassroots organising and campaigning for over a decade. He has a BA in politics from the University of York. Dr Michael Clark, Researcher, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford Mike's research interests include the environmental, economic, and health impacts of food systems. He uses models to provide quantitative estimates on the current and projected impacts of the food system, as well as the potential benefits of changing the food system (e.g. by changing diets, or the rate at which yields increases). Mike joined the Centre on Population Approaches for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention in August 2018, and is working on expanding the Centre's food system model to incorporate biodiversity and economic outcomes in collaboration with the Wellcome funded projected "Livestock, Environment and People", as well as with researchers from other departments across Oxford and international collaborators.

In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel is joined by senior academics of University of Derby Dr Bruce Wiggins and Duncan Werner via Zoom from Derbyshire, UK. Dr Bruce Wiggins graduated with a 1st class honours in Music Technology and Audio System Design from the University of Derby in 1999.  His interest in audio signal processing spurred him to continue at Derby completing his PhD entitled "An Investigation into the Real-time Manipulation and Control of 3D Sound Fields" in 2004 where he solved the problem of generating Ambisonic decoders for irregular speaker arrays and looked at the optimisation of binaural/transaural systems.  Bruce's research into Ambisonics has been featured as an impact case study in the national Research Excellence Framework in 2014 and will be again in 2021.  His latest work is based around the auralisation of rooms to very high order Ambisonics with head-tracking. Duncan Werner graduated from Aston University in Electrical/Electronic Engineering in the late seventies, but as a keen musician moved towards the music industry gaining work as a recording and touring musician in the UK and Europe, subsequently being employed by the London-based Chrysalis Music Group as studio sound engineer. This was followed by postgraduate Music Technology studies at City University London. Research interests include immersive music production, in particular the GASP system (Guitars with Ambisonic Spatial Performance) based at the University of Derby. He has been programme leader for BSc Music Technology since its inception in 1995 and is currently Programme Leader for MA Music Production. In this episode, we dive into the collaborative project GASP (Guitars with Ambisonic Spatial Performance), discuss the Sound in Space Symposium, and current research projects for immersive audio. This episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Michelle Chan with the help of Emma Rees and included music by Knobs Bergamo.

Joanna Turner, Head of Property Research for Canada Life Asset Management (recently rebranded), joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker to talk about how Canada Life is evolving their assets for hybrid working. Joanna says the future of work doesn’t mean reduced demand for commercial real estate. Working from home and going to the office will go hand in hand.  But she says demand for Space-as-a-Service and flexibility will grow faster as we shift to hybrid working, so every major landlord has to become Space-as-a-Service minded. She believes conventional real estate managers should partner with experienced Space-as-a-Service operators to meet customer demand. We also talk building valuations and have some feedback for the valuer community, as well as lenders, who Joanna says need to evolve their criteria to recognise the growth in demand for Space-as-a-Service. Connect with Joanna on LinkedIn  Connect with Caleb on LinkedIn If you have any questions or feedback on this episode, email podcast@workbold.co Value Bombs The future of work doesn’t mean reduced demand for #CRE The reasons people need an office is changing Landlords need to be flexible and adaptable to meet the new demands from customers There will be a flight to prime quality space, and low quality secondary space will see higher vacancy rates Working from home and going to the office will go hand in hand People will commute to the city centre ONLY if its rewarding The role of the office will change from being a place where you go to work, to a place to meet and collaborate face to face, and be inspired. Buildings need spaces that enhance the #wellbeing for people Every major landlord has to become Space-as-a-Service minded Flexibility should be top of mind, because that’s what customers want Demand for Space-as-a-Service and flexibility will grow faster as we shift to hybrid working Conventional real estate managers should partner with Space-as-a-Service operators to meet customer demand  Valuers need to ask themselves “What is it I’m actually valuing?” Are the additional service layers adding additional value for the customer, more revenue streams, more diversification, therefore more value to the asset? Should covenant strength of building users no longer be a factor in the valuing of Space-as-a-Service footprints? Operators need to be more transparent with landlords around data and financials When valuing a building, valuers should be asking whether there is higher demand in that particular market for conventional leases or is there more demand for flexibility and service Lenders need to evolve their criteria to recognise the growth in demand for Space-as-a-Service Resources (Aka, mentions from Joanna) Joanna's Property Week Article Jan Gehl (cities architect and the godfather of placemaking)  His book: ‘Cities for People’  His short film ‘The Human Scale’ Ken Shuttleworth, Architect at ‘Make’ Anouk Khan, CFO RE:Women Maria Wiedner, CEO of RE:Women  Twitter: @rewomenorg Andrea Carpenter from Women Talk Real Estate Abigail Dean, Head of Sustainabiity, Nuveen Nina Reid, Director Responsible Property Investment, M&G Nikki Greenberg (futurist and proptech guru, NYC) About Joanna Turner Joanna Turner is Head of Property Research at Canada Life Investments.  In her role she is responsible for managing research and strategy, which includes forecasts, thought leadership, house views, quarterly reporting and writing regular research content.  Joanna has twenty five years’ experience in Property Research & Strategy at a global, European and UK level.

Britain's food and farming future in the post-Brexit era are set to be defined by the Agriculture Bill which is currently making its way through parliament. Its system of subsidies designed to reward sustainability rather than scale may have a positive impact on farmers, retailers, the environment and the wider public, but many in the food world are hugely concerned about the Bill's damaging impact in other areas. We invited a panel of experts from across the food industry to discuss positive aspects of the Bill alongside concerns that the legislation lack. The panel includes: Tom Parker Bowles, Food Critic; Minette_Batters, President of the NFU; Darren Henaghan, MD of Borough Market; and Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy.  

Professor Tim Lang published his new book this March, Feeding Britain (https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/308/308380/feeding-britain/9780241442227.html) , which argues that ‘UK is de facto, facing a war time scale of food challenge’. COVID-19 has put a sharp focus on the issues that Professor Lang raises in the book around our unsustainable food system. This podcast will explore what makes our current food system dysfunctional and what can be done to revert the damage. About Tim Lang Tim Lang has been Professor of Food Policy at City University London’s Centre for Food Policy since 2002. He founded the Centre in 1994.

The team from Paratus meets Tom Chen, Professor in Cyber Security at his faculty in City University of London. Tom Chen discusses what he feels needs to be done to provide security to IoT from both a technical and economic standpoint. Technically he suggests a 'Secure by Design' approach and economically feels that there needs to be some Government regulations or penalties for companies failing to adhere to security processes (however he believes this won't happen until a big security disaster happens).

In today's episode I chat to Ian Rodwell the creator of the fantastic liminal narratives blog, which explores the betwixt and between liminal spaces of our world. Ian is a part-time PhD researcher at City University London, and began the blog as a compliment to his studies. From beaches to train stations, graveyards to corridors, Ian and myself have a chat about the variety of liminal spaces he has explored. We get into the origins of the term ‘liminal' and how it is used in terms of spaces/places, we look at Marc Augé's concept of non-places, and chat about why humans feel the need to craft stories around liminal places and breathe life into discarded objects or symbols of the past. We also touch on the thread of folklore that runs through Ian's posts, his love of pylons, our changing perceptions of architecture over time and much more! Basically, if you love the mundane and overlooked places of our world this episode will be right up your street! (Recorded April 2020)

Suchi Pathak is Co-founder and chief psychologist of Aptology. She is also an honorary lecturer at core City University London. She has been a leader in the assessment and consulting industries for over ten years. She was head of psychology for a global assessment provider. And is passionate about leveraging AI and machine learning to ensure organisations select, develop and promote their people with high predictability and no bias. At Aptology, we look at the behaviours underlying somebody and their natural style and how they present themselves at work. And we map that with performance to make sure that people get the right people in the right job. By using objective performance metrics and underlying behaviour, you can reduce a lot of bias in the hiring process, the promotion process, the development process. Ever heard of that adage "people hire for skills and fire for behaviour?" This is something that we tried to get around. There is a lot of bias involved in a lot of the processes of recruitment selection. What Aptology does is help people to increase their performance. Along with reducing the human cost of diversity and inclusion within their companies. COVID19 has impacted people in many ways. The extroverts in the world like myself feel strange because our network suddenly seems to have shrunk. But I think what is interesting is people are very uncertain in the world of work. And as it relates to sales, many our clients have turned to us and said, so we're a bit concerned about our sales team because they used to wining and dining their clients and, it's not necessarily taking them out to lovely restaurants. Still, it is meeting them face to face, organising events and meeting them at other events or networking to get to know them better. In this new environment, their world has suddenly shrunk, and they feel like they've got one of their arms chopped off because they are not able to persuade or influence on moving that relationship along as much as they could have done before. Given that this is the behavioural blueprint of our team, our clients are asking, what can we do? One of the biggest strengths of COVID19 is that many people have a lot more 1 on 1 time and less distracted. Rather than having a solid relationship with just one person in the client organisation, it is enabling people to branch out their network within the company. The previous issue that they used to wine and dine and get a fantastic relationship with their primary contact of the company. However, if that contact left, they will have to start all over again. What this scenario is enabled people to do is to have more frequent communication with several different people in the organisation and begin to expand their network. Suchi, says the experience of COVID19 is going to improve sales in the long term. During these challenging times, people take some time to find their flow. Everybody is handling work in slightly different ways some people may start a lot earlier, take a break in the day or the other way around. This highlights a need that people did not recognise before to figure out their schedule. One size fits all approach is probably going to be a mistake says Suchi. Managers can assume that their teams deal with things in the way that they are dealing with them. Knowing the behavioural underpinnings of your team is critical currently because some people are going to be doing better than others. Seeing others in the same way as yourself, you can make the mistake of breaking trust, such that after this crisis is over if that person does not feel cared for. This can cause a whole lot of problems because the last thing you need once the job market opens that they go elsewhere. We help to move the needle on diversity by really focusing on performance. There is an increase the awareness about diversity and benefits to having diverse teams. Companies fall short when people start to view diversity as a box-ticking exercise. Many companies that we work with have good initiatives; they incentivise managers to recruit from a diverse background. A by-product that Suchi has seen is that it can end up discrediting the individual. Focusing on data and increasing performance within a team means performance is excellent, and the sales team becomes diverse. We advocate focusing on performance and what does good look like for your team? You find people if you are using behaviour that does not discriminate against gender or ethnicity or socioeconomic status, using a predictive tool that helps to counter bias. Then what you have is the right people for the right job, but those people happen to be from a diverse background recruiting from non-traditional sources. https://www.linkedin.com/in/suchipathak https://www.aptology.com

Many claims have been made, both positive and negative, for the transformative nature of internet news in the age of social media. An historical perspective is brought to that debate, by looking at the effects that earlier changes to news production have had for politics, society and commerce. It focuses on two major revolutions - the creation of the mass media in the 19th century, and the broadcasting revolution of the 20th century. What can we learn from history about how deeply the internet could transform news in the 21st century? And how does it relate to broader social and economic trends?A lecture by Steve Schifferes, Honorary Research Fellow at City University London 15 November 2018The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/internet-news-250-years-technologyGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Men hold the overwhelming majority of positions in IT leadership, where women fill less than 17% of CIO. The lack of diversity remains an issue and the numbers are unlikely to improve a lot right away but there is hope. Initiatives like Europe's 2020 legislation, which has the goal of reaching a 40% gender diversity on the Boards of publicly held companies, has boosted the initiatives for more CIOs. The number of CIO's in the Fortune 500 has been dropping, from 24% in 2015 to only 15% as of November 2017, so what do we do? Today the CIO role focus on driving business transformations, customer-facing initiatives, on-demand services and developing “smart cities and companies”. To have gender equality we need role models and CIO's who are encouraging women to go into technology and focus on management and operations. Today we are going to be speaking with a woman who has made it to the Board and is a CIO, a role model in the field of technology and an encouragement to all.

The series that looks at current events through the lens of psychology - Michael Blastland explores the quirky ways in which we humans think, behave and make decisions. In this episode - disruption and how it affects us. Cancelled trains or political and economic turmoil - when things happen beyond our control, how do we react psychologically? Not well, usually. We don't like uncertainty. We tend to avoid a change to the status quo, almost at all cost. But are there cases when a bit of disruption has benefits? The Human Zoo team explores everything from displaced German towns and lateral problem-solving to comedy improvisation and music composition. Michael Blastland is joined by resident Zoo psychologist Nick Chater, Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School, and roving reporter Timandra Harkness. Contributors this week include behavioural scientist Dr Stian Reimers, City University London; broadcaster Nicholas Parsons; psychologist Prof Thomas Ormerod; members of Spontaneity Shop, comedy improvisation company; and broadcaster and journalist, Tim Harford. Producer: Dom Byrne A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.

The series that looks at current events through the lens of psychology - Michael Blastland explores the quirky ways in which we humans think, behave and make decisions. In this episode, we explore success and failure, and how easily we attribute acclaim or the blame. Too easily? For example, football managers - we can expect a few casualties during Euro 2016, but is the failure of a team one man's fault? At the same time, the boss of the eventual cup-winner is lauded as a genius. Surely it's more complicated than that? The Human Zoo team investigate how we tend to oversimplify our complex world - unconsciously - because we are cognitively lazy. We take shortcuts to come to easy answers about everything from which politicians we trust, to evidence for climate change, to star performers on Wall Street. What weird behaviour. Why do we do it? Michael Blastland is joined by resident Zoo psychologist Nick Chater, Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School, and roving reporter Timandra Harkness. Contributors this week include Professor Jerker Denrell, University of Warwick; Dr Stian Reimers, City University London; Tracey Brown, Sense About Science; and Ed Smith, former England cricketer. Producer: Dom Byrne A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.

Two of the founding members of the BBC Trust leave their position this week. David Liddiment and Alison Hastings have seen the governing body through some tough times over the last few years, dealing with upsets like Savile, executive pay and the collapse of the Digital Media Initiative. Steve Hewlett talks to them about the challenges, dilemmas, and their views on the future of what some have described as a discredited arm of the organisation.The House of Lords heard evidence this week about the representation of women in news and current affairs broadcasting both on and off screen. A number of recent studies have indicated concern about of women in terms of employment, casting and participation. Steve Hewlett hears from two experts who gave evidence to the Inquiry - Suzanne Franks, Professor of Journalism at City University London and author of 'Women and Journalism' and Jane Martinson, Head of Media at the Guardian. Steve also hears from Dorothy Byrne, Head of News and Current Affairs at Channel 4.The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) says it's considering whether to continue with a full investigation into the Sunday Mirror for the sex sting carried out against MP Brooks Newmark, despite the complaint against the newspaper being dropped. It would be the first time that a press regulator has continued to investigate a complaint in the absence of a complainant, and could be a significant precedent. Steve talks to Jane Martinson, Head of Media at the Guardian, who has been following the story.Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

George Brock approached his book about newspapers and journalism in the digital age unwilling to write another gloom-and-doom narrative about the death or decline of the industry. When he studied the historical development of journalism and current trends, he found the industry is what is always has been: volatile, evolving, and vital to society's well being. Out of Print: Newspapers, Journalism and the Business of News in the Digital Age (Kogan Page, 2013) is an important look at the industrial, economic, and pragmatic realities of a shifting industry. Using modern case studies, including the phone-hacking scandal that brought down Great Britain's News of the World, as well as historical research and recent data, Brock examines where journalism was, is and will be. Brock, head of City University London's prestigious graduate school of journalism, has produced a work that transcends academia without sacrificing methodology or theory. “Because journalism lives on the frontier between democratic purposes and the commercial market,” Brock writes, “it is constantly being reorganized and renegotiated.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Inderjeet Parmar‘s Foundations of the American Century: The Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller Foundations in the Rise of American Power (Columbia University Press, 2012) navigates the history of US foreign policymaking in the twentieth century. Parmar is President of the British International Studies Association and Professor in the Department of International Politics School of Social Sciences, City University London. His new book examines foreign policy making from the perspective of philanthropic foundations and the ways foundations sought to influence policy through the creation of foreign policy ideas and institutions. Parmar dissects the role foundations played in US foreign policy toward Indonesia, Chile, and elsewhere through institutions such as the Council of Foreign Relations and various University-based international relations programs. The book ends with an examination of the development of the “democratic peace” doctrine and post 9/11 foreign policy making. Foundations have increasingly moved to the center of political science research (see recent podcast with Sarah Reckhow). Dr. Parmar's wide-ranging book follows in this approach and is a major contribution to scholarship on philanthropy and public policy making. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the last week, the Guardian, the New York Times and Der Spiegel have each published books telling the story of their relationship with Wikileaks and its leader Julian Assange, following their recent publication of leaked US diplomatic cables. Some of the information in the Guardian's book, referring to the alleged source of the leak, Bradley Manning, prompted Wikileaks to label the Guardian "the slimiest media organisation in the UK". The Guardian's editor Alan Rusbridger talks to Steve Hewlett about working with Julian Assange and how their relationship soured. George Brock is Professor and Head of Journalism at City University London and former foreign news editor at the Times. He picks up on the impact of Wikileaks and comments on its shift this week to the Telegraph. Peta Buscombe of the Press Complaints Commission responds to complaints about its handling of the phone hacking scandal. On Monday, the Financial Times editor Lionel Barber remarked that the PCC had taken no serious action over the allegations and that it was "supine at best". Yesterday, a ComRes poll for the Independent indicated that two thirds of those polled think the affair shows the industry should no longer regulate itself. So does the PCC have the confidence of the public and is it robust enough and responsible enough to be left alone? George Brock comments on Lionel Barber's fear that the UK media risks retribution for the phone hacking, with statutory regulation.
