“Is saving the world journalism’s job?” is the title of the cover piece in the new editiion of British Journalism Review. It is by our own Dr. Suzanne Franks and Prof. Jean Seaton of the University of Wesminster (co-author of the text book ‘Power without Responsibility’ with which you are all familiar). It is a superb contribution to the debate about the BBC’s refusal to broadcast the DEC Gaza Appeal and a tremendous example of how a firm grasp of history informs and enhances excellent journalism.
When the exams are over I hope you will all make time to read it, enjoy it and debate it.
