See <b><a href="http://gcsemeeja.blogspot.com/2019/03/radio-jingle-hells-essential-branding.html">this post</a></b> for useful examples/analysis to help inspire your ideas. I added a video/points on hiphop DJ Charlie Sloth on 29th Sept 2019 which I think you will find useful!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: medium;">exam board detail on what audio ISN'T allowed</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I asked the exam board to clarify some of the rules for your radio coursework which were ambiguous/unclear from the written instructions. ... this is the full reply: </span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;">In response to question 1, the audio used must be original which means that clips from online videos or games cannot be used. Sound effects from sound libraries (question 2) with programmes may be used, providing they are really short, only 1-2 seconds at most. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;">For question 3, as long as there are at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds of speech (if this were measured as a continuous sound source), any amount of other sounds can be used, including as music beds or sound effects under the speech. The gaps between the speech sections, whether these be for music, jingles or whatever, should not total more than 30 seconds.The key focus of the audio should be to convey representation through the voices, through tone, language, volume and pace.</span></span></div>

For both GCSE + A-Level they can be really useful to create your own revision tools, and help embed some of the details, terms, theories and debates raised through your exam CSPs.<br />
<br />
<i>WWTBAMillionaire</i> is one good example - the trick is in carefully choosing the 3 WRONG answers so that they'll remind you, whether playing it yourself or with classmates (<i><b>great</b></i> tool for collaborative revision!!).<br />
<br />
There are multiple Ppt templates - try searching '<i>gameshow name </i>powerpoint template' yourself to find, experiment with others. You can <b><a href="https://www.rusnakcreative.com/gameshow/millionaire">DL the <i>Millionaire </i>template we'll use in lessons here</a></b> - the same site has <b><a href="https://www.rusnakcreative.com/gameshows">more gameshow templates</a></b> like <i>Jeopardy </i>and <i>The Weakest Link </i>you could try too. The Excel template is linked in the Ppt.<br />

Radio stations are always hoping fans of 1 show/DJ might be persuaded to tune in for more, boosting ratings.<br />
<br />
Like everything else, there are some recognisable conventions:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>state the name of the show and presenter/s</li>
<li>usually incorporates the <i>station </i>name and frequency (eg 96.1 FM) or other means of access (eg <i>listen now on the iPlayer</i>; or <i>catch up now on radio1.com</i>)</li>
<li>crucially, features short snippets of multiple bits of 1 or more shows - which means multiple voices (co-presenter/s; callers; interviews/studio guests) [some similarities to a film trailer - it uses clips from throughout the film]</li>
<ul>
<li>obviously you'll hear the DJ's voice too with these!</li>
</ul>
<li>use of music, and some wild tracks</li>
<li>a clear sense of style and content/topics (music/wild tracks will reflect the brand)</li>
<li>brisk pace; trails are rarely over 60secs</li>
</ul>
<div>
Here are some examples + useful guides:</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;">A FAST WORD ON <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Sloth">DJ SLOTH</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'm going to add this to the post, but please note: there is 1 bit of swearing just after 11mins, and more in the last few mins; some of the comments on vaping should be considered in the light of new evidence (the video is from 2017) that e-cigs/vaping are causing deaths through cancer. He moved recently from Radio 1xtra to Beats Radio.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">WHY post this then?!?</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">multiple examples of catchphrases/jingle slogans</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">an illustration of the ongoing fame/<span style="color: magenta;">celebrity status</span> of music radio DJs</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">...so for any coursework you consider claiming a <span style="color: magenta;">zeitgeisty</span>, youth-friendly online celebrity like Sean Evans of Hot Ones as a guest (speaking about whatever topic you've been set)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the DJ, Radio 1xtra's hiphop/grime king Charlie Sloth (so, kind of comparable to Beats Radio's Julie Adenuga - <i>he moved to Beats in 2019!</i>) is a <span style="color: magenta;">stereotype</span>: fat and jolly (he describes himself as morbidly obese) BUT directly urges viewers/listeners to embrace their body shape, celebrate it (as he does through his Insta vids and pics), so is arguably a <span style="color: magenta;">countertype</span> of the slim hipster? Simply using the word 'big' in a presenter's name brings up an area of representation, whether counter/stereotyped (or a bit of both)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">his accent and use of street slang likewise raise useful representation issues: <span style="color: magenta;">stereotypically working-class</span>, though also more commonly associated with <span style="color: magenta;">BAME</span> youth (this was central to the joke/satire of Ali G)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">at the very end when he gives his pitch, note how many platforms or modes of distribution he mentions - and that he explicitly states his show is accessible online to people outside of the UK</span></span></li>

<br />
I've included a wide range of examples, including those clearly for an older audience (so, a guide of what to avoid?!), older examples that still use techniques you should learn from (great slogans like TV on the radio...), but also modern examples from shows on youth stations like Nick Grimshaw and Greg James' Radio 1 shows. I start with a Radio 2 example, the target audience is a broad 35-54+, so it should be a sharp contrast with a youth station like Radio 1...<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: red; color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ZOE BALL ON RADIO 2</span><br />
I've added a start time to this; consider how the pace of the music + the vocal style might be unsuited in targeting a younger audience.<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: red; color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">CHEESY BUT MEMORABLE: OLDER-SKEWING MAINSTREAM STATION</span><br />
Here's some quite cheesy (and they often are!) jingles from a radio station from back home in Norn Irn, Downtown Radio. When I was growing up I dreaded hearing their <i>keep it country </i>jingle (whilst appreciating the alliteration of course!) but I believe they've spun off the dreaded country'n'western to a new niche channel.<br />

<span style="background-color: red; color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">STEVE WRIGHT, 1990s RADIO SHOW - <b>NOT </b>YOUTH-FRIENDLY?</span><br />
Despite being on Radio 1, the youth station, Wright, who would later be shifted to the older-profile Radio 2, was not a comfortable fit for a youth audience (but was hugely successful). Listening to these jingles is arguably a means of being clearer on <b><i><span style="color: red;">what to avoid in a youth-friendly jingle</span></i></b>.<br />

<span style="background-color: red; color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">TV ON THE RADIO... TOMMY VANCE JINGLES</span><br />
Jingles, if successful, stick in the head - this one brings back fond memories for me, the metal-DJ on Radio 1 (the 1st version is the original, followed by UGC re-edits) Tommy Vance and his Friday Night Rock Show:<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are crucial branding, playing a similar role to film idents (though those are often abstract and generally not directly reflective of any one film), and follow really simple principles</span>:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">state the station and/or programme and/or recurring feature name</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">keep it short (in the 3-10secs range)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">strong, clear voice, often in singing style (and multi-tracked voice, sometimes digitally 'stuttery' in style), male or female (or group)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">includes incidental/instrumental music, often not directly representative of music played by the station - they must stand out from the music tracks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">may include a slogan or tagline (eg R1: Tommy Vance's Friday Night Rock Show: '<i>TV on the radio' - </i>genius!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">may use common rhetorical devices like alliteration, puns/wordplay/intertextuality</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">its common for stations <i>and </i>shows to have <i>multiple </i>jingles (see the Tommy Vance example below)</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">INTROS + TV ON THE RADIO: LESSONS FROM VANCE + FLUFF</b><br />
Tommy Vance, as is very common, had more than one jingle - the one that started the show (which you can hear below), and the one inserted 2 or 3 times a show after tracks (which you can hear above).<br />
<br />
Music-led shows will often keep it particularly short, but basically the audience should be informed of what's coming up in THIS show.<br />
<br />
You might hear key words/phrases such as:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">coming up</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">in the next hour</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">as ever</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">bringing you</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">tracks by</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">we'll be hearing from</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">as promised last ...</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and much more</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">the usual mix of...</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">an exclusive from/of </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
Music-led shows will often do this with the DJ/s talking over the 1st track (faded up and down) or a longer ident/jingle-style piece of regular music. The two examples below, from music shows, are good examples. Tommy Vance trails the artists he'll play <i>and</i> a new session recording, ie exclusively recorded for/by the station. You can hear the full versions (released as an EP) of 3 instrumental tracks played regularly played over the intros of <i>TV on the Radio</i>* shows <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D7KKN0ZXKc">here</a></b>.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b style="color: red; font-size: small; text-align: center;">*I still think this is as good as radio slogans get!</b></blockquote>
<div>
Dear old Alan 'Fluff' Freeman was one of the inspirations for Smashie and Nicey, but he was a lunatic with a nod and a wink, squeezing in the odd bit of smutty double entendre in his bizarrely old-fashioned style; ingeniously mixing in classical music, AC/DC and some prog rock during his simply bonkers (mate) intros. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">TV and Fluff introduced me to a lot of great sounds back in the day, and if you read YouTube comments on such vids you'll see emotional testaments from many 80s/90s Radio 1 listeners. John Peel inspires similar affection (I've read a <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=john+peel">book</a> which is simply a recollection of what he said and played on a series of shows. And loved it). </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Do <b><i>YOU </i></b>think you'll look back on any DJs with such fondness/as an inspiration 20+ years from now?!?</span></blockquote>

...<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>SOME FAQS/THEMES</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: yellow;">Will there be statutory regulation?</b></span><br />
Yes, its already happening: GDPR; Germany will enforce $20m fines if hate speech isn't removed within 24 hours, and it + France are leading the way on taxing the tax-dodging giants. <b><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/dec/05/ireland-reaches-deal-with-apple-to-collect-13bn-in-back-taxes">Apple has already been forced</a></b> by the EU to pay the Irish government €13bn in back-tax.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: yellow;">Will the FAANGS conglomerates be forced to break-up into smaller companies?</b></span><br />
Probably, but the timescale is uncertain. EU pressure will be a factor, but it will be US regulators/politicians who ultimately decide if, like the <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.">film industry back in 1948</a></b> (Hollywood giants were forced to sell off their cinema holdings), they legally form monopolies and therefore competition + consumer protection law insists they must become smaller. The FAANGS are spending $millions to persuade US lawmakers that the EU are trying to undermine USA dominance, and that any attack on them is bad for the USA.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;">However</span></i></b>, with <b><span style="color: magenta;">deregulation</span></b> being the long-term trend ever since Reagan back in 1980 (same for the UK from 1979 when Thatcher was elected, two very <b><span style="color: magenta;">right</span></b><b><span style="color: magenta;">-wing, 'free market'</span></b> politicians), <b><a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/losangeles/news/2018/08/02/justice-dept-to-review-70-year-old-movie-industry.html">the film industry may actually see its anti-trust laws scrapped in 2019</a></b>! Right-wing governments (eg Trump/Republicans, May/Tories) are reluctant to regulate the 'free market'.<br />
<br />
The right-wing press may also be very free market, but they do frequently campaign for tighter regulation of other media (just not the press), which will add pressure to right-wing politicians to act.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: yellow;">Are children (+ how they are monetised) a factor?</b></span><br />
Absolutely!!!<br />
Protection of children, arguably even more than protection of democracy, is a (the?) key driver behind media regulation. The age rating system (film, games), TV watershed, multiple clauses in the press industry's Editors' Code, much of the ASA's policymaking, all are dominated or even defined by protection of children. The ASA's ruling that apps must not contain gambling if they're accessible to kids is just the start of what promises to be a tough EU-led fightback against the non-regulated, wild west approach of the '<b><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/18/facebook-fake-news-investigation-report-regulation-privacy-law-dcms?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Gmail">digital gangsters</a></b>' of new media.<br />
<br />
Phone hacking was a scandal to Guardian readers until the Milly Dowler case broke, and within weeks the highest-selling Sunday paper was closed and a multi-year formal commission (Leveson) was set up to investigate newspaper malpractice, while the self-regulator, PCC, scrapped itself and announced IPSO would replace it.<br />
<br />
Expect Facebook and Google/YouTube's lax age controls to become a major issue.<br />
<br />
The non-regulated monetising of freemium apps (Lara Croft Go, Kim Kardashian's Hollywood) and vlogging social influencers like Zoella is already facing restrictions.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Facebook (and Google/YouTube) are facing ever growing scrutiny over their (mis)use of user data and facilitation of anti-democratic forces (in US presidential election, Brexit vote, spreading of anti-vaccine ideas, etc). They have grown into vast global conglomerates with little or no formal regulation.<br />
<br />
GDPR, laws passed within the EU to insist on minimal standards of privacy and registration of user data, was an early sign of this wild west era ending, though the lobbyists (PR, campaigners) employed by the FAANGS have successfully argued to US politicians that this is the EU trying to damage American business.<br />
<br />
There remains the distinct possibility, though, that US regulators will get tough on them. Facebook is facing multi-billion fines for misuse of user data, which could lead to a re-think on regulation there.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Several EU states have already passed laws to tax and/or regulate the FAANGS giants above and beyond the limited GDPR regulations (which Facebook is widely seen as failing anyway, and attempting to get round it by seeking to merge Facebook/WhatsApp).<br />
<br />
The DCMS (UK government ministry that oversees culture, media, sport) Select Committee (backbench MPs from all parties, NOT government ministers) wants swift action; its report:<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Calls on the British government to establish an independent investigation into “foreign influence, disinformation, funding, voter manipulation and the sharing of data” in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, the 2016 EU referendum and the 2017 general election.</span></blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Labour moved quickly to endorse the committee’s findings, with the party’s deputy leader, Tom Watson, announcing: “Labour agrees with the committee’s ultimate conclusion – the era of self-regulation for tech companies must end immediately.</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“We need new independent regulation with a tough powers and sanctions regime to curb the worst excesses of surveillance capitalism and the forces trying to use technology to subvert our democracy.” [<b><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/18/facebook-fake-news-investigation-report-regulation-privacy-law-dcms?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Gmail">source</a></b>]</span></blockquote>

</ul>
Mark Zuckerberg, and/or top Facebook executives, could face prosecution for misleading parliament (lying to MPs) or contempt of parliament (Zuckerberg has refused demands to meet MPs).<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Watson agreed. “Few individuals have shown contempt for our parliamentary democracy in the way Mark Zuckerberg has,” he said. “If one thing is uniting politicians of all colours during this difficult time for our country, it is our determination to bring him and his company into line.”</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The report warns Facebook is using its market dominance to crush rivals, shutting them out of its systems to prevent them from competing with Facebook or its subsidiaries.</span></blockquote>
The report also revealed how Facebook used 'gangster' tactics to force apps that wanted to continue accessing Facebook data to spend a minimum $250k on Facebook ads each year.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The DCMS report calls for sites such as Facebook to be brought under regulatory control, arguing “social media companies cannot hide behind the claim of being merely a ‘platform’ and maintain that they have no responsibility themselves in regulating the content of their sites”.</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It proposes comprehensive new regulations, including a mandatory code of ethics and an independent regulator empowered to bring legal proceedings against social media companies and force them to hand over user data.</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It cites the example of Germany, which passed a law in January 2018 forcing tech companies to remove hate speech within 24 hours or face a €20m (£17.5m) fine. As a result, it claims, one in six of Facebook’s moderators work in Germany.</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It also warns electoral law is out of date and vulnerable to manipulation by hostile forces, with urgent need of updating. “We need reform so that the same principles of transparency of political communications apply online, just as they do in the real world,” Collins [DCMS committee chairman] said.</span></blockquote>
<br />
This story isn't going away; pressure is going to keep building on Facebook especially, but also Google, which will include calls for anti-trust legislation to force the break-up of 'monopoly' companies like Google, YouTube, Facebook (the FAANGS will fiercely resist any such labelling), just as the film industry was once forced to sell off its cinema wings to end horizontal integration.<br />

Note that its likely the CSP text will change each year - the newspaper <b><i>editions</i></b> will be updated - but the two chosen CSP newspapers are unlikely to change.

A large number of regional papers, many priced not long ago at higher than the combined sale price of £10m, have been bought by a new group. Reach rejected a £50m deal in 2019, deciding instead to launch online-only rivals like Belfast Live and Edinburgh Live. Johnston Press had paid £570m for the Yorkshire Post and other regional papers in 2002, plus £160m for The Scotsman group in 2005. A deal nearly as bad as Murdoch's billion dollar purchase of MySpace (sold for $1!).<br>

Great article, lots of useful detail:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>there are 3 dominant owners in the REGIONAL UK press (JPI Media: 200+ papers including <i>the i</i>; Newsquest 165, Reach 260). Note that Reach is 1 of these 3!! It 'is trading profitably but regularly closes or merges titles'. Like the <i>Indie </i>going online only, this is 1 sign of the industry's struggles.</li>
<li>Newspapers produce more news than radio/TV/web combined: 'When <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2018/feb/06/brexit-sturgeon-accuses-may-of-putting-tory-demands-ahead-of-national-interest-politics-live?page=with:block-5a79bb71e4b0aff22b7e4964">the government’s review</a> into the sustainability of high-quality journalism was launched last year, it was claimed that newspapers produced more original journalism than broadcasters and websites combined.'</li>
<li>the digital disruptors, non-newspapers, are having the same problem as papers in making ad-funding work: 'BuzzFeed is to cut 15% of its staff, while Verizon Media is seeking 7% cutbacks at newsrooms such as Huffington Post, AOL and Yahoo.'</li>
<li>'Rowly Bourne, co-founder of a startup called Rezonence, believes he can persuade advertisers to pay a sensible amount for their ads by providing them with proof that the ads have been read and understood. ... He argues that publishers are making as little as 50p per reader per year from digital ads. ... “I believe there is a better way,” he says. “Instead of a paywall, we call it a freewall. It’s a simple cost-per-engagement mechanism in which readers are presented with a single advertisement. In order to read the full article, they are required to answer a relatively simple question below the ad. This proves to the advertiser that the readers have paid attention to their brand.” ... According to his company’s own estimates, freewall access to a site by, say, 10 million users would produce more than £10 per reader. By contrast, it is doubtful if paywalls produce 60p per reader.'</li>
<li>'Dominic Young, founder of a startup called Agate, believes he can persuade readers to pay for access to newspaper and magazine content ... ' His idea is for micro-payments. 'He has developed a method aimed at encouraging readers to make payments into an online wallet. They pre-pay an amount into the wallet, which gives them access to a range of outlets, and the price of each article is deducted by the publisher. Each site can charge as much or as little as it thinks appropriate. When the wallet is empty, the reader can top it up.'</li>

As mentioned in the Greenslade article above, new media sites like Buzzfeed that are partly responsible for the press industry's huge loss of younger readers, are struggling to get enough revenue to survive. They also find it hard to make enough from ad revenues.<br>

Nice example of the left-/right-wing bias coming through. Broadly speaking the right-wing papers support Brexit and are very hostile to the EU, but left-wing papers don't think Brexit should happen and are quite pro-EU. PM (Prime Minister) May is a Tory (Conservative), so she tends to get positive coverage in the right-wing papers, and negative in the left-wing press.<br>

'Visitors to <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/mail-online">Mail Online</a> who use Microsoft Edge can now see a statement asserting that “this website generally fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability” and “has been forced to pay damages in numerous high-profile cases”.<br>
The message, which is produced by a third-party startup called NewsGuard, tells readers to proceed carefully given that “the site regularly publishes content that has damaged reputations, caused widespread alarm, or constituted harassment or invasion of privacy”.<br>
It gives Mail Online, one of the world’s biggest news websites, one out of five on credibility – the same level as the Kremlin-backed RT news service.'<br>

By the way, if you see someone described as 'red' its a right-wing way of attacking left-wing politicians (in this case a union leader). Think of the <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union">old USSR flag</a></b> (it was red!).<br>
Part of the criticism of the Mail website is that they 'farm' news - most of their online 'reporters' basically steal reportage from other sources + re-write it. There have been <b><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/jan/23/dutch-magazines-reporter-suspect-stories?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Gmail">scandals across Europe</a></b> recently about such plagiarism (copying from other sources without saying so); trust in the media is very important in a democracy.<br>

But to be allowed to buy BOTH the <i>Times </i>AND <i>Sunday Times </i>he had to agree to legally guarantee he wouldn't interfere with the 'editorial independence' of the paper. Editorial has 2 meanings: news content (as opposed to columns and opinion pieces) but also, confusingly, the daily column in which a newspaper gives its views on issues (<i style="font-weight: bold;">the </i>editorial; news content is all editorial).<br>
At the moment the <i>Sunday Times </i>is run as a separate paper with its own editor and staff. Murdoch argues the tough conditions in the press market means he should be allowed to make job cuts by sharing the staff on the 2 papers.<br>
'Last week, the publisher of the Times and Sunday Times revealed a pre-tax profit of £9.6m in the year to 1 July 2018, up from a loss of £6.5m a year earlier, in its most recent publicly available filing. Turnover was up 2% year on year.<br>
The subsidiary that publishes the Sun and Sun on Sunday revealed that its pre-tax losses more than tripled year on year to £91.2m for the same period. Turnover fell 5%.<br>
News UK said total advertising revenue for the year increased for the first time in seven years, with continuing declines in print more than offset by growth in digital advertising.<br>
Murdoch moved to buy the Times titles following his 1968 move into the British newspaper market, beating Robert Maxwell to buy the News of the World, the UK’s highest selling newspaper, and a year later the ailing Sun, which he reinvented.'<br>

DAILY MIRROR ONLINE EDITIONS/APPS:<br>
<b><a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/e-edition/">Tablet app</a></b>; £4.99 a month (1 month free trial) = about 23p a day, or 1/3 of the cover price<br>
They didn't start charging until 2016 (<b><a href="https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/daily-mirror-to-start-charging-for-digital-edition-because-of-news-industrys-unprecedented-challenges/">PressGazette</a></b>), the last UK newspaper to have their tablet edition free. <b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mippin.android.bw.m14581">Their e-edition page</a></b> offers 4 platforms: Apple's app store, Google Play, Amazon's Kindle Fire, and Windows Store - there is also a separate international edition available on the 1st 3 (not Windows store).<br>
<b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Reach+plc.">Owner Reach has 12 newspaper apps</a></b>, including for regional papers like the <i>Huddersfield Daily Examiner</i>, and <i>the Mirror</i>'s Scottish twin, <i>the Daily Record</i>. The Android app is also £4.99 a month, including both the <i>Daily </i>and <i>Sunday Mirror</i>.<br>
Stablemate papers the <i><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mippin.android.bw.m14581">Express</a></b> </i>and <i><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mippin.android.bw.m1216">Star</a></b> </i>each have their own apps under the banner of Express Newspapers.<br>
They have a wide range of social media platforms, including accounts for specific topics, including FB (main account + 18 more), Twitter (1 each for Daily/Sunday Mirror + 21 more interest areas eg @MirrorCeleb), 3 Instagram accounts, and Pinterest and Google+ accounts. Note the lack of Snapchat (younger) or Reddit (more tech-savvy, sophisticated).<br>
Nonetheless, they have joined many other papers in calling for tougher regulation of the very same social media they use (<b><a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/voice-mirror-social-media-giants-13134814">Aug 2018 Mirror leader column</a></b>)<br>
