This special edition of Ethical Space addresses the lack of ethnic diversity in the British media. With a focus on newspapers, the book identifies the reasons for a shortage of minority ethnic groups in mainstream journalism and newsroom management. It also considers the effects of this shortage on media representations of minority groups. The project arose from an Economic and Social Research Council-funded seminar series on Widening Ethnic Diversity in Journalism. The seminars were unique in assembling diverse perspectives and fostering interactions across the social, industrial, academic and educational landscape. The contributors to this special double edition reflect this diversity by representing key dimensions of the subject: the mainstream and minority ethnic media industry, journalism education and academic research. While focusing mainly on the British context, the volume also contains a major section on international perspectives and outcomes which echo several issues about workforce diversity identified in the UK news industry. The aims of this book are to: ¿ assess industry-led strategies to address under-recruitment of Black and ethnic minority (BEM) journalists; ¿ to facilitate dialogue between educators, employers and BEM representatives about increasing BEM recruitment; ¿ advance scholarship about under-representation of BEM groups; ¿ identify policies and schemes to attract BEM recruitment into key roles in the media; and ¿ inform the development of policy and practice in government, media industries and journalism education and training to increase the representation of Black and ethnic minority communities in mainstream newsrooms and raise their participation and profile in civil society. Guest editors: David Baines leads the Journalism section of the Media and Cultural Studies group at Newcastle University while Deborah Chambers is Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Newcastle University

The Phone Hacking Scandal: Journalism on Trial Hackgate is the biggest scandal to engulf the mainstream press in decades. What started as a small bush fire News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman and his private detective friend Glenn 'Trigger' Mulcaire being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure in 2007 for hacking illegally into the phones of the royal family and others - has become a forest fire destroying countless reputations (and the NoW itself) in its wake. The few hacked by NI in 2007 became nearly 6,000 in late 2011. Hackgate has also thrown the spotlight on the somewhat excessively close ties between the press, police and political elite - and raised countless questions about media standards and regulation. As Lord Leveson continues his inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press, The Phone Hacking Scandal: Journalism On Trial (edited by Richard Lance Keeble and John Mair) brings together an extraordinary range of academics, journalists and media activists to provide bang-up-to-date, informed and lively commentary on the controversy: ¿ Brian Cathcart on 'The Press, the Leveson Inquiry and the Hacked Off Campaign' ¿ Glenda Cooper on 'Facing up to the Ethical Issues surrounding Facebook Use' ¿ Jackie Newton and Sallyann Duncan on 'Exploring the Ethics of Death Reporting in the Social Media Age' ¿ Richard Peppiatt on 'The Story Factory: Infotainment and the Tabloid Newsroom' ¿ Alan Rusbridger on how Hackgate 'reveals failure of normal checks and balances to hold power to account' ¿ John Tulloch on 'Oiling a Very Special Relationship: Journalists, Bribery and the Detective Police' Other contributors include Chris Atkins, Steven Barnett, Patrick Barrow, Teodora Beleaga, Daniel Bennett, Damian Paul Carney, the Co-ordinating Committee for Media Reform, Tim Crook, Sean Dodson, Chris Frost, Ivor Gaber , Tony Harcup, Phil Harding, Huw L. Hopkins, Mike Jempson, Nicholas Jones, John Lloyd, Tim Luckhurst, Kevin Marsh, Ben McConville, Eamonn O'Neill, Wayne Powell, Stewart Purvis, Justin Schlosberg, Kate Smith, Judith Townend and Barry Turner.

Within the Hall, the community quivers in terror. At the door the winds moan as retribution seeks admittance. How will the Sorceress protect her people from the anger she has provoked? Having exiled Daro for his obsession with the ancient mages of their secret past, life is still far from peaceful in Selesh. The aging Sorceress has found no relief from troublesome children, for she has given refuge to Jalni. The girl, hotly pursued into the heart of the community, has an intriguing (though erratic) command of power. Admitted as a novice, Jalni commits a catalogue of crimes, and is on probation when Daro returns to challenge his foster-mother's long held beliefs. Determined to ignore the personal price he has paid for power, the Opal Sandsinger takes Jalni as his guide, and sets out to save the children of Scartel. Encountering Myst-cats, Wanderers, Storm horses and a mysterious mentor, Daro must also find his feet in a strange new world, while he seeks "Another Shade of Mystery", in the hope it will help him understand "The Song of Sorcery", that seems to guide his destiny.

This is a story of a man's journey through normal life, then surviving an almost fatal accident, and the trauma of recovery from that over a period of eleven years - a testament of human endurance and determination. The first part is about the background of this ordinary working class chap, who strives hard to build up a business, caring for his family along the way like any other person. He has, however, had a passion for motorbikes for most of his life and, finally he achieved his dream of travelling through Alaska, keeping a diary of his experiences and adventures. The second part of the story finds him back to everyday life after his fantastic trip, when he suffers a horrendous accident whilst at work. He nearly dies. Somehow he survives and then begins a long road to recovery which is to take nearly ten years before he finally emerges from his demons and lost world to gain full health and fitness. This part of the story has been written at various times during his long recovery, giving insight into his lonely world, and encouragement to anyone else who may have suffered a similar trauma.

Reading Dolour is like looking into the most private depths of Holan's soul. Some of his poems are so simple that they are almost child-like; some are cruel and harsh, while others border on pornography. One can easily call him a wordsmith - he uses words as thoughts to convey his every written nuance. Sometimes, he purposefully chooses archaic and totally obsolete Czech words, which are virtually untranslatable.He was obsessed with women and sex, as well as his belief in God, Satan, Hell and Heaven. Both his sensuality and spirituality appear in most of his works and his intensity of emotion is almost tangible. Yet, he was so sentimental that he saw romance in every situation - even a glimpse of a woman's face in a passing train or encountering a woman in an elevator, or wondering what book that girl in a tram was reading.When the Communist Party took over Czechoslovakia, Holan was utterly devastated by their totalitarian regime, but his polemic was but a grain of sand in the oyster of hope.Reading Dolour is an experience you will never forget!
