October / November 2008 Bristol city is celebrating women in the media, and what a better way than focussing the lenses on the presentation, under presentation or misrepresentation of women in the media.
Between Oct 15th and Nov 15th Bristol Fawcett Group with Bristol Feminist Network invited those who are interested in the media and empowering women to collate and document experiences of the representation of women in all the media.
I feel really passionate about such issues, not on local scale only, but also on international level. I have been working on a parallel program in the Middle East. Of course how women are represented or misrepresented in the media is different from society to another, but still we are underrepresented and misrepresented all over the world in different degrees and in different ways. Funny enough this is the only thing different countries all over the world share and agree on. read full story / add a comment

Just one week after the Post greeted the opening of Carboot Circus with the most ridiculous and uncritical hype they are today reporting the first closure of one of the luxury stores as the economic crisis begins to bite the retail sector. read full story / add a comment

Well, we did say - local news is in trouble as ad revenues flee online. ITV is stuck not only fighting the BBC, Channel 4 or Sky for audience share, but Google, YouTube, Facebook and even this august site. Tough times are ahead, and while the workers may be eager, is the management up to the fight? Or is the old way just coming to an end? read full story / add a comment

The society which brings together Britain's national newspaper, web and broadcast editors will be gathering in Bristol this November for their annual three day conference. Though editors rarely write their own material they are ultimately responsible for what does and doesn't get into the paper. Their personal opinions about what is newsworthy and what is not shape the public consciousness right across the land. We are living in an ero of spineless, hamstrung editors who often do not dare to challenge the orthodoxy of capitalism and far too often refuse to acknowledge 21st century fascist Neo-con influence on British culture. read full story / add a comment

Cabot Circus wont make our lives better, though mainstream media and politicians tell us it is a wonder to behold! Its basically more of what has brought us huge economic, social and environmental problems. Its focus is not needs or local people but high profit for a remote few. read full story / add a comment

I was going to title this article 'Bread and Cabot Circuses' but the excellent Evening Post Watch website go there first. This is a key moment in the landscape of Bristol - remember this day - not for the opening of another unimaginative shopping centre - but the moment the free press overtook the corporate press as the real purveyors of news in the city. read full story / add a comment
