Colleagues - I'm sure most of your attention is currently being diverted by urban riots, or more happily holidays, or less happily, preparing for resit marking and upcoming teaching, but the 'hackgate' story hasn't gone away. Some of you may have come across, via Twitter, this remarkable analysis of the Murdoch empire by Michael Wolff in Adweek. But if you haven't you can access it at http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/how-bad-news-corp-133928 I hope we can still have a meeting to discuss these and other matters, on 22nd Sept, despite clashes with other things - still haven't heard back fom Martin Moore, but please keep the date free. best Maire Máire Messenger Davies, PhD, FRSA, Emerita Professor, Media Studies Centre for Media Research, School of Media, Film and Journalism University of Ulster, Cromore Rd, Coleraine BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland, UK Telephone: +44(0)2870124069 www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/media/cmr.html <http://www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/media/cmr.html> email: [log in to unmask]; twitter:@mairemd <mailto:[log in to unmask];%20twitter:@mairemd> LATEST BOOK - 'Children, Media & Culture' http://www.openup.co.uk/children_media ------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA Policy mailing list W: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/meccsa-policy.html Please visit this page to browse list's archives, or to join or leave the list.
