Journalism agenda: The BBC White Paper…
As the BBC’s current charter expires at the end of 2016, the government has drafted a white paper to outline key changes for the broadcaster’s future
The government’s proposals would be a blow to both the BBC’s freedom from government interference, and its place at the heart of British popular culture.
Want a glimpse of the culture minister’s real agenda for the BBC? Just turn to pages 112-115 of the government’s White Paper and the commissioned questions asked by the polling agency. They are very revealing.

Listen to a discussion about the long-term implications of this week’s government White Paper on the future of the BBC.
After weeks of rumour and speculation about an imminent assault on the BBC the publication of the White Paper on the corporation’s future has been seen by some as anti-climactic. But while the headlines have been restrained, the document makes several suggestions that would have a significant impact on the corporation, including major changes to governance, programming and the mission statement. Last night The Media Society hosted a discussion about the paper, unpacking its key points and asking how they might unfold in the long-term.
The requirement for output to be “distinctive”, coupled with the growth of media consortia, could force the BBC out of the game.
The culture minister John Whittingdale may not have succeeded in giving himself the ability to re-schedule the BBC’s programming to save ITV from the perils of competition in prime time. However, the government’s White Paperdoes redefine the Corporation’s mission as something more than the holy trinity ‘Educate, Inform, Entertain’. The BBC now has a new remit: “To act in the public interest, serving all audiences with impartial, high-quality and distinctive media content and services that inform, educate and entertain”.
Now is a good time for publishers to invest in virtual reality
As virtual reality grows in popularity, news organisations should get started in the immersive medium before they are left behind
The Offshore Leaks database, released on 9 May, includes information about more than 300,000 offshore companies
It started as a sort-of-joke writer Kyle Chayka made a few weeks ago, after he’d been reading a lot about bots.
personal chatbots are prob the new newsletters. Ask my bot how my weekend was
— Kyle Chayka (@chaykak) April 17, 2016
Chayka then actually created that weekend bot, which was “kind of an absurdist joke about bots and sort of the pointlessness of this delivery mechanism for all the same stuff.”
The Times of London and Sunday Times on Wednesday launched new phone and tablet apps, and a new website, all focused on publishing online in editions that will be updated four times a day.
There will be a fresh issue early in the morning, followed by updates at 9 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m. — all times when the Times’ traffic tends to peak as readers wake up, arrive at work, eat lunch, and commute home.
Starting Wednesday, about 95 percent of content the British newspaper The Telegraph publishes online will flow through a new content management system — one that it developed in-house through a collaboration between its product team and the newsroom, aimed at simplifying its digital publishing process.
The BBC reaches 68 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds in the U.K., both online and offline, in a given week. The German public media organization ZDF, meanwhile, reaches just 24 percent of that age group.
Why is the BBC reaching so many more young people than ZDF? A new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism examines how public media can stay competitive online “in a fast-evolving global digital landscape.” The report looks at leading public media organizations in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and Poland.
Editor’s note: Our sister publication Nieman Reports is out with their new issue— go check it out. I write a column for the print edition of the magazine; here’s my latest.
A few years back, around the time of the financial crisis, I remember hearing about a guy with a startup idea for a news site. The main expense any online publisher has is people, right? People who stubbornly insist on being paid actual money.
Live, local, late breaking: On Facebook Live, news outlets take a cue from TV (but don’t call it TV)
Around 5 p.m. on April 1, everyone in our little office crowded around my desk, watching a live video of baby goats roaming inside BuzzFeed Motion Pictures president Ze Frank’s office — a prank by staffers for his birthday. Would Frank be angry? Would the goats escape?? Would chaos ensue?! Five of us waited for the grand climax, baffled by our own interest, along with 81,000 other viewers.
Editor’s note: There are lots of new stories to read in the newest issue of our sister publication Nieman Reports. In this piece, an excerpt from her new bookSaving the Media: Capitalism, Crowdfunding, and Democracy, the French economist Julia Cagé calls for a new legal structure for media organizations that reflects the role of news as a public good.
Despite Facebook’s unrivaled status as a distribution platform for publishers, it hasn’t always been as effective at helping publishers make money. The latest update to its ad policy might help change that.
Facebook said this morning that it will start letting verified celebrities, influencers, and publishers use their pages to post content they’ve created with brands. The new policy will let publishers post videos (including 360º and Facebook Live video), photos, or articles (Instant or otherwise) that explicitly mention or feature brands.
WordPress, to steal a phrase from Marie Kondo, does not spark joy. When I log in, I see a series of modules that I never use and 11 plugins that need updating.
Medium wants to free us from this unsightly digital mess. At an event Thursday in New York, CEO Ev Williams and other Medium executives repeatedly referred to the company as a city — a new one, built from the ground up. “It’s a simplistic view to say go where the people are,” Williams said. “You need to go where the right people are.”
As most people — and most women on Twitter — know, the Internet can be an ugly and abusive place. The Guardian, which receives more than 50,000 reader comments a day, is taking steps to help change that with “The Web We Want,” a series it kicked off on Monday. As part of the series, the paper will publish its “own analysis of abuse on our site,” it said in an editorial. “Other platforms that have been reticent until now must follow suit,” it added.

Killing #Soma miners again: “Theology professor says Soma mining accident was a better way to die…
A theology professor has made controversial remarks over the victims who died in the country’s worst ever mine disaster in the Soma district in the Aegean province of Manisa, saying their deaths while trying to make an honest living were better than dying while drug trafficking or in a mafia revenge murder

Cyprus talks to restart on May 15… A FP roundup…
The Cyprus problem will never be solved without a paradigm shift away from leaders and referenda, and towards “bottom up” re-unification and tangible, small-scale progress.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu crosses into Syria on an unauthorised visit to see the tomb of the grandfather of the Ottoman empire’s founder.
The leaders of divided Cyprus are scheduled to restart peace talks on May 15, following a three-side meeting with the United Nations’ special envoy earlier this the week
In biggest push in over a decade, Nicos Anastasiades, president of Greek southern sector, to meet Mustafa Akinci, new leader of Turkish-occupied north
It has taken more than 40 years, an army of mediators and several near-misses, but there is genuine hope that when the leaders of ethnically divided Cyprus resume peace talks on Friday, the west’s longest-running diplomatic dispute can finally be resolved.
They have little faith in their leaders, so people from the Turkish and Greek sides of the island are working to reunite their communities themselves
On the beach at Famagusta, there’s a sweeter, citrus scent mixed in with the sea breeze.
Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades will meet newly elected Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci on May 2 to push stalled peace talks forward, a Cypriot government spokesman said on April 28
******************
A complex political triangulation links the Turkish president with the Syrian imbroglio and the Kurdish question, but his political target is receding.
Until a year ago, it seemed as if some sort of reconciliation between the Turkish state and its Kurds would be feasible. With the launch of the ‘Kurdish opening’ in 2009, the leadership in Ankara was re-engaging the Kurdish population after decades of estrangement. The announcement of the ‘peace dialogue’ between the government and Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan People’s Party (PKK), as well as the ‘reform package’ introduced by the then prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, confirmed in the eyes of many the executive’s genuine interest in reconnecting with its Kurdish community.

#TurkeyElections Yes we need: European delegations on the ground for pre-electoral observation… More attacks at HDP offices…
A six-member cross-party delegation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) paid a pre-electoral visit to Turkey on May 5-6 for observation ahead of the June 7 elections
Two people allegedly involved in an attack on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) election bureau building in Black Sea province of Bartın were detained on May 14
President Erdoğan has hailed Italy’s decision to ban the formation of coalition governments in the name of providing stability, amid predictions that Turkey’s upcoming parliamentary elections might force a coalition government, ending more than a decade of single-party rule by the AKP
Peoples’ Democratic Party Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş has accused Turkish President Erdoğan of “violating the constitution for months,” as he fails to remain neutral during the election campaign and nobody can take action “because they fear Erdoğan.”
The Kurdish problem-focused Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) filed an official complaint to Turkey’s Supreme Election Board (YSK) on May 5, claiming that President Tayyip Erdoğan has been taking sides on behalf of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Parti)
Özcan Purçu, who is expected to become the first ever Roma politician in the Turkish Parliament, has said he opted to be nominated from the main opposition CHP as the ruling AKP’s ‘Roma initiative’ ultimately failed
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has pledged to wipe out all marks of military coups in Turkey
Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş has vowed to resign if his party fails to pass the 10 percent election threshold in the June 7 elections, adding a stronger HDP would continue to push forward in the long stagnant Kurdish peace process
At a time when the public’s trust in fair elections in Turkey is on the decline, a civil initiative is ready to once again mobilize thousands of volunteers to ensure an accurate counting of the votes cast.
“I don’t think my wife is too pleased with this situation,” said Selahattin Demirtaş, the co-chairman of the Kurdish problem-focused Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), smiling shyly.
Weeks before the general elections, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has changed its much-criticized digital strategy, replacing its infamous “trolls” with a “regular army” – at least on paper.
The two leaders of the opposition parties continued their rallies on May 13, during which they slammed the government’s policies on both local and national issues
