In any war, counting the number of people killed is challenging. So, too, is understanding how they died. In Gaza, where the still-rising death toll already includes 13,450 children, these figures can be obscured by biases, allegations—and the realities on the ground. In this week's episode, Lionel Barber and Alan Rusbridger are joined by leading statistician David Spiegelhalter to discuss how to shed light on casualty numbers in a war situation. Also this week, George Brock joins Alan and Lionel to discuss a small yet significant development in the future of local news. George is a professor of journalism at City, University of London and has previously worked at the Yorkshire Evening Press, Observer and Times, where he was managing editor and Saturday editor. George explains how the Guildford Dragon has secured charitable status, and whether this could be a possible model for local news across the country. Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm talking with street art photographer, art collector, and retired transit cop George Brock. If you've been to a street art or graffiti show in NYC you've probably seen George. He has been a great supporter and staple of the scene for years. We're talking about what got him interested in graffiti and street art, and some of his adventures over the years. 

A ROMANCE ROILED BY BETRAYAL AND DANGER A vindictive woman's ruthless plan to expose her husband's suspected infidelity opens the door for a cunning serial killer. Desperate to save his crumbling marriage, George Brock takes his estranged wife on a romantic getaway to a remote bed and breakfast. Tortured by the memory of their once idyllic love affair and blinded by her own bitterness, Debra resists George's efforts. She is convinced their problems are the result of infidelity on his part and gleefully plots to ruin his romantic holiday by making a brutal statement with another man before walking out and filing for divorce. Mrs. Winter, a seemingly gracious southern lady and genial bed and breakfast proprietor, welcomes the Brocks with open arms. In reality she is a cold, calculating blackmailer who sees a cash bonanza in Debra's wicked little game of adultery and revenge. To make matters worse, her son Horace is a sadistic serial killer; after beholding the incredibly beautiful Debra Brock, he is determined that she be his next victim. What begins as a hopeful, romantic renewal quickly spirals into a frantic fight for survival. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

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.

Johann Hari, a journalist with The Independent, is under fire after admitting he lifted quotes from other articles and books to use in his interviews, without attributing them to the original source. Independent editor Simon Kelner defends Hari, explaining he made a genuine mistake. In his defence, Johann Hari has explained that other journalists told him adding quotes was "normal practice and they had done it themselves from time to time". Former Times editor George Brock and Guardian journalist Deborah Orr discuss whether there are ever blurred boundaries when it comes to using quotes in this way. David Collins, a journalist with The Mirror has written about the part he played in getting crucial evidence in the case of Levi Bellfield, who was last week convicted of murdering Milly Dowler. David Collins joins Steve Hewlett to explain how he got access to Bellfield. A House of Lords report into the BBC has concluded that the BBC complaints system is too complicated and should be simplified. The author of the report, Lord Inglewood, discusses whether Ofcom or the BBC Trust should ultimately deal with complaints about BBC programmes. The Producer is Simon Tillotson.

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.
