47. The remoaner queen under attack: the trolling of Gina Miller

Author

Abstract

Gina Miller shot to fame after taking the British government to court for attempting to force through Article 50, the mechanism, which started the Brexit process. It was a case that, like the 2016 Referendum itself, polarised Britain. While Leavers were outraged that their vote to exit the EU was not the final word, Remainers watched with bated breath in hope that their disaster could turn to triumph. In the middle was the previously unknown financier Gina Miller. Articulate, photogenic and unafraid to comment on a controversial issue, she might have been made for the media. Widespread coverage led to her becoming a hate figure online, with two men arrested for making threats to kill her. This study analyses 18,036 tweets, which include the username @thatginamiller, from October 1, 2016 to February 27, 2017, from just before the opening of her High Court case to beyond the Supreme Court ruling on January 26 .

48. What makes a target: politicians and abuse on social media [Note: The chapter “What makes a target: politicians and abuse on social media” from the edited collection “Anti Social Media?” was reprinted in the British Journalism Review under the title “And they thought papers were rude.”]

Abstract

Politicians are known to be targets for some of the worst abuse on social media, including rape and death threats. But exactly how bad is it? Who gets it worst? And where is this onslaught of negativity taking us? This article is based on the analysis of all tweets sent as single @messages to British MPs between December 2016 and the general election in June 2017. This dataset of roughly 80,000 tweets was categorised using sentiment analysis software into hostile, disagree and other. The results show little difference in levels of hostility by gender, race or political party. The major drivers of long-term hostility were high profile jobs and criticising Corbyn. Incautious public appearances or tweets resulted in major spikes. Scottish politics also proved more aggressive. The effect of publicity due to high profile jobs on hostility may partly explain the relatively flat relationship between hostility and gender/race, as front bench jobs are more likely to be filled by white men.

Abstract

The British television broadcasting industry is undergoing profound changes. Through the 1990 Broadcasting Act, competitive tenders for new franchises were implemented on Jan 1 1993. Carlton Television outbid Thames Television and is now airing. This signals the dawn of a more populist Independent Television (ITV) and the possible decline of public service broadcasting in UK. This means that ITV will concentrate on pursuing maximum profits instead of philanthropic goals. Such transformations will inevitably further erode viewership of the British Broadcasting Corp (BBC). More competition are expected from cable and satellite television as subscription is already rising steadily. BBC would have to respond to these changes by improving its efficiency and focusing on services not provided by the market.

Abstract

Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening and thank you very much indeed for the honour and pleasure of being Invited to give the second Annual Rathmines Media Lecture. First of all I owe you a necessary word of explanation for the strange title of this talk , 'The French have got a great culture - I've been to Versailles': Towards a 500 Channel World. It sums up rather well some of the themes I want to touch on tonight. I heard these words about French culture spoken during a supposedly serious interview last month. I was on a 24-hour visit to Atlanta. Georgia to interview Ted Turner, the man crazy enough to fly In the face of all conventional wisdom and launch cable news network - 24 hours a day television news by satellite. The CNN service is now broadcast on no less than thirteen satellites ringing the globe, carrying in general a rather American view of the world. The only remaining places on earth where you are safe from CNN, Lou Dobbs and the remorseless, never ending headlines is Antartica and part of Greenland.
