Hi Everyone -
I hope you've got to grips with the articles I gave you. I'm not here on Friday, as I said, but I want us to reflect on the idea of surveillance in the media that we began to speak about in our first session. Please ensure you are 100% up to date with the latest News International events (payouts etc) and consider the following:
1. Decide whether you think celebrities should recieve payouts for having thier voicemails tapped - they put themselves out there in the first place so should our access to their lives be limitless?
2. Research the extent to which Rupert Murdoch controls the media in the UK
3. Access one or two of his publications and examine the representation of this case by media that he controls
