Facebook election advertising
Recent years have seen increasing concern about the potential of Facebook advertisements to microtarget small groups or individuals in the electorate with specific messages during campaigns and the impact such practices might have on democratic institutions. This article examines Facebook advertising during the 2017 UK general election using a dataset created by the civil society organization Who Targets Me. We use content analysis to code negati…

The “Netflix effect” revisited
This article examines the interplay between the ‘Netflix effect’ of media globalisation and the reassertion of ‘digital sovereignty’ through national competition, content, and industrial policy. Taking a case study approach the study is based on analysis of laws, codes and policy documents along with expert interviews and secondary data. The study finds that whilst OTT video has undermined revenues and audiences for national broadcasters in all t…
Constitutionalising the BBC
This article argues that BBC policy needs a change of emphasis. In the last two BBC Charter periods the emphasis has been on marketisation and market failure. The aim has been to harness market discipline to hold the BBC to account and ensure it does not chill investment. In an era of almost limitless choice, faltering democratic institutions, and new business models based on monetising data and attention, this approach is no longer appropriate. …
Regulating Big Tech
Digital Dominance
Across the globe, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft have accumulated power in ways that existing regulatory and intellectual frameworks struggle to comprehend. A consensus is emerging that the power of these new digital monopolies is unprecedented, and that it has important implications for journalism, politics, and society. It is increasingly clear that democratic societies require new legal and conceptual tools if they are to adequa…
Has government been mediatized? A UK perspective
There has been little empirical research to date on the consequences of mass media change for the processes of government in the United Kingdom, despite a well-documented concern since the 1990s with ‘political spin’. Studies have focussed largely on the relative agenda setting power of political and media actors in relation to political campaigning rather than the actual everyday workings of public bureaucracies, although UK case studies suggest…
Financial Journalism, Conflicts of Interest and Ethics
This article explores the practice, ethics, and regulation of financial and business journalism in Hong Kong and examines business journalists' understanding of their “social responsibility.” The research is based on an analysis of the legal framework and codes of conduct plus interviews with professional journalists, editors, and other experts. The focus is on the interrelated issues of conflicts of interest, disclosure of interest, investment b…
Nationalism in Italian Politics
This book is the first full-length study available in English to trace the extraordinary history of the Italian Northern Leagues during the 1980s and 1990s. At a time when the postwar First Republic entered a crisis amid corruption scandals, the Leagues acted as one of the main protest actors and grew at an unprecedented rate. Drawing on electoral and survey data, existing research, eyewitness accounts of protest events and interviews with activi…
Regulating content as communications converge
This article was compiled as a joint interview with the two authors, who have different views from one another. They answer in turn the question of how broadcasting and Internet content are regulated today, then they consider whether convergence will need to bring converged regulation, and then they each outline their views on how this should be done. Finally, they do a critique of one another’s ideas
What Are Financial Journalists For
In order to understand why so little media attention was paid to risks in the banking sector in the run up to the financial crisis, we need to understand the framework of law, regulation, self-regulation and professional incentives that structure the practice of financial and business journalism. This paper focuses in particular on what role financial journalists play in the system of corporate governance, the ways in which law and regulation rec…
Codifying Cyberspace
Can the Internet regulate itself? Faced with a range of 'harms' and conflicts associated with the new media - from gambling to pornography - many governments have resisted the temptation to regulate, opting instead to encourage media providers to develop codes of conduct and technical measures to regulate themselves. "Codifying Cyberspace" looks at media self-regulation in practice, in a variety of countries. It also examines the problems of bala…

July 2000, London. One hundred invited`media stakeholders' gather for a day in a windowless room beneath the Departmentfor Trade and Industry in Westminster. These representatives from thebroadcasting, telecoms and multimedia industry have been summoned to debate the future of media and communications regulation in the UK
Post-national citizenship
This article examines the historical and conceptual background to the current discussion of post-national citizenship. It is argued that concepts of nation and citizenship took on new meanings and became closely connected with the rise of the modern nation-state. Nation and citizenship became key institutions determining access to resources, patterns of solidarity and the active participation that we call citizenship. As the economic and cultural…
New Media and Democracy
This article describes and evaluates civic networks in Europe and the USA. These are seen as attempts to use new media technology, particularly the internet, to improve participation in local democratic processes. Various aspects of democratic communication are examined, including information access, preference measurement, deliberation and group mobilization. A wide variety of city-based experiments are described, which have all faced problems o…
Nationalism
The postwar period has been marked by a problematization of nations and nationalism: these phenomena, which were previously assumed to be natural products of evolution, have received a growing amount of attention from social theory. First an attempt was made to debunk nationalist constructions, and then a `primordialist' reaction defended the nation. Explanatory theory has however been held back due to vagueness regarding key categories such as c…
Padania's Virtual Nationalism
Support for Italy's Northern League has declined since the movement's 1995 return to a more radical, secessionist stance. But it has not collapsed. Within the movement, moderate reformist members have stepped back and hardline separatists in Lombardy and Veneto have become more vociferous since the League's recent “declaration of independence” for the region of Northern Italy they have named “Padania.” The result has been only a slight decline in…
Explaining monoculturalism
For Ernest Gellner, nationalism occurs in the modern period because industrial societies, unlike agrarian ones, need homogeneous languages and cultures in order to work efficiently. Thus, states and intellectuals mobilize campaigns of assimilation through public education and the culture industries. Gellner's theory, however, fails to explain all forms of nationalism, is overly materialist, and at times relies on dubious functionalist explanation…
Strategy or Identity? The Northern League at a Crossroad
Like movements such as Vlaamsblock in Belgium and the National Front in France, the Northern League in Italy deployed an ethno-territorial identity to motivate and organize its supporters. Also like Vlaamsblock, it demanded the fiscal autonomy of Northern regions from the Southern ones, and a federal constitution to replace the unitary one. As the League becomes more involved in governing Italy, however, the movement has to decide if its goals ar…
