大象传媒

What wil these 11-14 year olds focus on??

I'm all agog!

If they were to focus on what is wrong with 大象传媒 online policy, the 大象传媒 might love it - they could Tweet and Twitter and Facebook and MySpace and YouTube and chatter and natter all day long - and the 大象传媒 wonks, who must have at least two brains each, could have orgasms of self-validation
. . . . . but would it still be the 大象传媒?

What would be really useful for these young people would be:

World News.

This might help them to understand where places are and what is going on there.

In the absence of proper Geography in UK schools, the 大象传媒 might serve a useful purpose.

There is more out there than just Afganistan/Pakistan, Japan and Libya.

"The results have been sent to the schools that took part to use on News Day. I was struck by the low numbers choosing the answer "being famous" to the question what do you hope to have achieved by the time you are 30. . . . . School Reporters question England football captain John Terry live on the 大象传媒 News Channel . . . ."

I wonder if John Terry featured in the ''Being famous' category, or in the 'Sordidly infamous' category.
Some people (including 大象传媒 Libya reporters, it seems - see last blog's Comments -) can get away with anything,
and our young reporters are so forgiving - I'm taking bets that, under the close tutilage of the 大象传媒, the school reporters never even broached marital infidelity.

Are they to be given a list of all the Things The 大象传媒 Does Not Report? For instance, the position at Fukishima remains highly unstable and unascertained, with the very real possibility of an eventual major radioactivity release, I read elsewhere. Where are the factual updates?

Incidentally, it seems to me that if the first few comments relating to a topic, on this page, are not flattering to the 大象传媒, then a new one appears very quickly to push it down the rankings.

"15-year-old Mohammad talks sports with students in Afghanistan."

Perhaps it would interest to Mohammad to know that in the 1950's, in the East End of Glasgow, we also used to supply our own equipment, such as jackets for goals, and an old tennis ball if we were lucky. We didn't feel a bit deprived, and weren't waiting for top kit to be supplied from Afghanistan either. But, oh, wait a minute, I forgot. There wasn't an Afghan army parked on my doorstep either.

Wake up to the VAT already taken on fuel! With the increase in fuel price so far this year, the net result is that Chancellor has given us nothing. If you calculate the extra VAT the Government receives on the fuel price increase this year due to the oil price increases, (excluding the VAT rise) this is more than 1p!

'These 11-14-year-olds have been learning about journalism at school with the help of their teachers and the 大象传媒. '

Mine were either not selected, in that unique way the 大象传媒 seems to champion with its 'journalism', or maybe their teachers did not apply, possibly reflecting alternative empathies or priorities.

History may judge whether this was a bullet well dodged.

So the 大象传媒 likes 'em young does it?

A new media academy of eight hundred schools conditioned into believing the 大象传媒 is something it hasn't been for a long time, not that many working for the Corporation actually notice. Budding journalists plucked from under the nose of Uncle Rupert.

At least they will all know facebook and twitter then. This is pitiful 大象传媒.

A cert bet that their priorisitation would have to fall in sharp! line with the New 大象传媒's attempted sabotaging of bona fide liberal values.

And 'Pre-moderated' of course, means immoderate censorship.

What with one thing and another, I managed to catch only one such interview. Two young lads interviewed ... hate to admit am not too up on music these days ... a singer (great voice).

Well, I was thoroughly impressed by the two young lads, and how they conducted the topic with patience, clarity and intelligence. It undoubtedly emboldened anyone with similar problems and insight on how to overcome them. An interview of refreshing delight and I applaud their excellent achievement. Long may it continue lads.

Hope we get an update on how things are progressing for you both.

'We'll be updating a live news feed on our website and our @大象传媒SchoolReport'

Not sure if I would be so agreeably enthusiastic for the defiant thinking currently on display before hitting the RT.

Early days yet, but it will be interesting to see how the follower/ee ratio evolves from the current 567 being followed to attract 240 before too many national projections get made in the polls/surveys that can get used to generate headline news.

As a parent, and a former teacher, I loved this effort on the part of the 大象传媒, and the results really were splendid.

Bravissimi, Students and Teachers!

Calling attention to the hospitals and farms was brilliantly done, as was the reminder that journalism is a serious and demanding profession that too many take for granted.

But most, particularly, how impressive -- how invaluable -- to see the Prime Minister himself, and the Chancellor, as well as so many others, taking time to participate and encourage our next generation.

Years ago, I remember taking part in programmes back in California that had a similar orientation, for example Model UN or Youth in Government days.

There are so many ways we can include responsible young people, thereby also involving their families and their communities, and providing excellent motivation to all young people to strive to attain their utmost potential, fearlessly.

For nothing comes of nothing -- doing Something, s trivial as it might sometimes appear to the grown-ups with their stresses ad busy lives -- can introduce a crucial turning point into so many families and young lives!

thank u bbc, because they are you going to make perfect citizen of their country.. hads of once again thank u very much

It's nice to see that the goverment is actively helping business, my concern is that in their efforts to ease planning regulations, there will be in affect a free for all policy to allow developers to swallow up more precious green belt land and destroy endangered habitat's/woodlands. Are there any safeguards in place in order to stop this from happening I wonder??? - properly not

With nowhere to comment on the most recent Editors Blog posting I have to post here:

"A year ago, 大象传媒 News didn't have any correspondents or reporters who were tweeting officially - apart from Laura Kuenssberg - and only a couple of news programmes with any official presence on the platform.

We were using the @大象传媒_haveyoursay account to try to gauge audience sentiment and feed it into 大象传媒 News output.
It was a useful means of tapping into the real-time conversation, but it felt a bit removed from being able to engage more directly with those who were tweeting."

So, Steve, you were trying to gauge audience sentiment of HYS, but thought it bore little relation to a Tweeting audience!
My, you really have GOOD researchers! And you now think that we should kill off the old HYS and its audience in favour of the Tweeters.
Did you learn Nothing At All from the months of research you did on the characteristics of the HYS and its online community?
In the last two weeks the Editor's Blog reiterated your culpable cupidity to change it to a Tweet community.
Do you EVER listen to your online community? - I mean REALLY LISTEN.

Because you conspicuously set a diametrically opposite course to the guidance that it so freely gives you.

DO YOU EVER REALLY LISTEN?

With nowhere on 大象传媒 online blogs available to post on the greatest human disaster of recent times,

I should like to ask Richard, through Editors Blog to address the following:

鈥淢istaken radiation readings given out by the operator of Japan鈥檚 crippled nuclear plant were 鈥渁bsolutely unforgivable,鈥� the government鈥檚 chief spokesman said on Monday, as work to prevent a catastrophic meltdown faced fresh hurdles.鈥� (Reuters, 28 March, 2011)

Richard, you produced a blog topic on the Japanese earthquake/tsunami that some said was good - I found it superficial, though full of further links to periferal aspects.

Now we have "Mistaken Radiation Readings" - this is really 'the dog that didn't bark' and opens up the real agenda that you failed even to address - cover-up and the worldwide 'conspiracy of misinformation'.

There may be good political reasons for misinformation, but are you, Richard, aware of it? - indeed, are you part of it?

It's important to expose children to the news at an early age I was a child, I didn't like it much, but I appreciate it now as an adult.

With all this focus on journalism in education, let me point out some irony:

I recently toured the BCC in London with 20 fellow students from the Missouri School of Journalism. I can't tell you how disappointing it was that not one reporter, anchor or producer could be bothered to come out and talk to us for 10 minutes. We were not random tourists; we were all journalism students from a well-known university.

With all the cosmic changes happening in the industry, it's inexcusable that no one from the 大象传媒 was available to discuss broadcast careers/advice, except a tour guide with no firsthand media experience. Shame on the 大象传媒 for such shabby treatment.

Helen, is the School Report survey going to be an annual 大象传媒 initiative?

@Brian Jarvis - I had a similar unfortunate experience some time back and had decided to request an appointment with an available reporter the next time I went over with my class on their field trip - they were most gracious to accommodate and the experience was invaluable (school kids though not journalism students)! I guess perhaps it's just bad luck we wound up going at a busy time initially when we did.
