Zoonotic infections in UK and Irish veterinary students: A cross-sectional survey
Based on these survey results, veterinary students appear to be at increased risk of contracting zoonotic diseases, particularly on farm placements. Attitude and behaviour change at multiple levels is required to reduce the risk of infection to students and normalise reporting of illness
Identifying how Covid-19-related misinformation reacts to the announcement of the UK national lockdown: An interrupted time-series study
COVID-19 is unique in that it is the first global pandemic occurring amidst a crowded information environment that has facilitated the proliferation of misinformation on social media. Dangerous misleading narratives have the potential to disrupt 'official' information sharing at major government announcements. Using an interrupted time-series design, we test the impact of the announcement of the first UK lockdown (8-8.30 p.m. 23 March 2020) on sh…
Characteristics and patient pathways of Lyme disease patients: A retrospective analysis of hospital episode data in England and Wales (1998–2015)
These data can be used to inform future investigations into Lyme disease burden, and patient management within the NHS. They provide demographic information for clinicians to target public health messaging or interventions
Class “then” and class “now” in Hotel Cerise
The stage earthquake, of course, was the same as when, on 26 October, Quentin Letts published his press review of Hotel Cerise headed, "A muddled bore that sees Trump as likely victor" in the British national newspaper, The Daily Mail. In Ulrich Beck&s;s early "risk society" theory, risk modernity is a third phase of global risk perception, after the earlier "traditional" and "industrial modernity" periods. Theatre actors, directors and actors ar…
Ethics, trust and the first person in the narration of long-form journalism
The use of the first-person narrator is one of the rhetorical devices that distinguishes literary journalism with its qualities of immediacy, intimacy and spontaneity in the pursuit of truth-telling. But how do the particular qualities of the narrator’s style relate to specific effects and what are the differences between an ‘implied’ and a ‘dramatised’ narrator? Through the writings of British columnist and author, Ian Jack, and through the work…
Chapter ten Approaching the audience: The elderly
This chapter discusses the sicence fiction audience provides a point of departure for analysing the characteristics of elderly television audiences. Writing to the producers of the show is one of the few ways in which the elderly do engage with the show, and analysis of these letters indicates that they regard the show just as much as theirs as do the young science fiction fans, though in a different way, with references out to their own experien…
An Outlaw Editor in the Endgame of the Indian Empire: F.W. Wilson's radicalisation of The Pioneer , 1928–29
The career in India of the Fleet Street journalist F.W. Wilson as editor of The Pioneer (1928–29) is a fascinating episode in the endgame of empire. Catapulted into the editorship of this reactionary colonial newspaper by a British management anxious to rescue its waning fortunes, Wilson sought to widen its appeal beyond a colonial British readership by embracing an anti-government, campaigning agenda which would enlist Indian middle-class audien…
Globalization and Culture
What are the consequences of globalization for the cultures it seems to undermine, even destroy, in favor of a single dominating model? Are religions also swept away in the whirlwind? Could they offer some poles of resistance

Terrorism and Torture: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Terrorism and torture are twin evils that have dominated news headlines - particularly since the horrifying events of 9/11. In this thought-provoking volume, scholars from a diverse range of disciplines examine the complex motivational and situational factors contributing to terrorist acts and state-sponsored torture, and the potential linkage between those two heinous human behaviors. They also consider the strategies that might reduce the threa…
Risk and subjectivity: Experiencing terror
In this article, the everyday life suffering of the author after being exposed to the 7/7 terrorist suicide attack at a distance of about one metre is explored in terms of the professional mediation of his injuries via post traumatic stress disorder counselling and the international media. These ‘risk technologies’ operate with their own orders of discourse and risk rationalities, while encouraging subjective interaction with the ‘victim,’ thus, …
Tabloid Citizenship: The Daily Mirror and the invasions of Egypt (1956) and Iraq (2003)
The UK tabloid newspaper, the Daily Mirror, waged two prolonged campaigns in 1956 and 2003 against the proposed invasions of Egypt and Iraq. This paper compares and contrasts the campaigns and explores the changing character and voice of the Mirror in the context of efforts to reposition the paper within the popular market, and exert political leverage. It reflects on the meaning of sincerity and identity in relation to newspapers. It analyses an…

The Privatising of Pain: Lincoln newspapers, “mediated publicness” and the end of public execution
Press coverage of crime and punishment was central to the development of mid-Victorian journalism and extensive coverage of murder trials and public executions was a staple of middle-class newspapers. This article explores the tensions between traditional frameworks for reporting “rituals of retribution”, class-based codes of civility and squeamishness, and the emergence of early modern styles of fact-based and empathic newspaper reporting in the…
Science Fiction Audiences: Watching Star Trek and Doctor Who
Science Fiction Audiences examines the astounding popularity of two television "institutions" - the series Doctor Who and ^Star Trek. Both of these programmes have survived cancellation and acquired an following that continues to grow. The book is based on over ten years of research including interviews with fans and followers of the series. In that period, though the fans may have changed, and ways of studying them as "audiences" may have also c…
Risk and Everyday Life
The authors examine how people define risk and what risks they see as affecting them, for example in relation to immigration, employment and family life. They emphasise the need to take account of the cultural dimensions of risk and risk-taking to understand how risk is experienced as part of everyday life and consider the influence that gender, social class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, occupation, geographical location and nationality have on…
'Life would be pretty dull without risk': Voluntary risk-taking and its pleasures
Most writing in the social sciences on risk-taking tends to represent it as the product of ignorance or irrationality. The modern subject tends to be portrayed in this writing as risk-aversive and fearful of risk, constantly seeking ways of avoiding it. In this article we present findings from our qualitative research on a group of Australians' risk knowledges and experiences, using in-depth interviews to explore the meanings given to risk and th…
Consuming Risk, Consuming Science: The case of GM foods
This article presents some findings from a study investigating notions of risk among Britons, with a focus on interviewees working as professionals in high technology (high-tech) or science industries. The discussion examines our interviewees’ responses to risks related to the consumption of genetically modified (GM) food. Our study sought to elicit personal experiences as part of an individual biography of risk which included specific concerns a…
Television Drama: Agency, Audience and Myth
First published in 1990. This book is the first specifically about television drama from within a cultural studies perspective and as such examines the active agency of both viewers and media practitioners. The author examines dominant and counter-myths as they circulate in popular culture, discussing soap opera, science fiction, sitcom, cop series and 'authored' drama among its examples. It works within an ethnographic framework, he looks in det…
Risk is Part of Your Life: Risk Epistemologies Among a Group of Australians
Much has been written by important sociocultural theorists about the role played by risk in late modern societies, and some, like Beck and Giddens, have ventured to contend that industrial society is turning into 'risk society'. Little empirical research has been conducted, however, that has sought to examine the speculations of grand theories about 'risk society'. This article discusses findings from an Australian interview-based study that soug…
Risk, the mass media and personal biography: Revisiting Beck’s ‘knowledge, media and information society’
Ulrich Beck’s formulation of the ‘risk society’ stresses the central importance of the media, yet is surprisingly reticent about analysing it. This article begins with Beck’s positioning of the media within risk modernity, and argues that in two major dimensions – the different media narrativizations of risk and expertise, and the mutability and mobility of people’s risk identities in their everyday experience – his analysis is significantly lack…
Border Crossings: Narratives of Movement, 'Home' and Risk
Despite the extensive sociological literature commenting on the 'risk society', surprisingly little empirical research has explored the ways in which notions, narratives and knowledges concerning risks are developed, understood and embedded in personal risk biographies. In particular, this is true of some of the most vulnerable people in the risk society: those who have migrated for reasons of personal, religious, economic, material or ideologica…
Tabloid Tales: Global Debates over Media Standards
Coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky saga followed in a long trail of media exposures of the more personal details of the lives of public figures. Many commentators have seen stories like this, and TV shows like Jerry Springer's, as evidence of a decline in the standards of the mass media. This increasing interest in private lives and the falling off of coverage of serious news is often described as Otabloidization.O The essays in this book are the f…

Theorizing fear of crime: Beyond the Rational/Irrational Opposition
Much has been written about the ‘social problem’ of fear of crime in the criminological and sociological literature in recent years. We would argue that thus far in this literature, however, there has been too much emphasis on the question ‘How rational is people's fear of crime?’, a question that largely reduces the complexity of the phenomenon and positions a ‘biased’ lay response against an ‘expert’ objective judgment. In this article, we revi…

The Adolescent `Unfinished Body', Reflexivity and HIV/Aids Risk
School-based sexuality education is a type of sexology directed at specific bodies: `unfinished' adolescent bodies in the process of becoming sexual bodies. This article explores notions of the adolescent `unfinished' body in the context of HIV/AIDS education for young people. Drawing on empirical research carried out in Australian secondary schools, we look at the concepts of the project of the self and reflexivity as they are articulated by you…
All Red in the Face: Students' Views on School-Based HIV/Aids and Sexuality Education
School-based HIV/AIDS and sexuality education is a fraught area, the site of struggles around moral values, knowledge, the nature of childhood and adolescence and pedagogy. The dominant discourses on HIV/AIDS and sexuality education in Australian secondary schools, as evident in policy documents, are currently predominantly libertarian and therapeutic, championing the need for 'openness' in the interests of the students' emotional maturity and so…
Experts in Crisis: The Framing of Radio Debate about the Risk of Aids to Heterosexuals
Analysis of media representations of AIDS needs to examine the narrative construction of `otherness' and `expertise'. This paper is part of a project examining the narrative representation of the `new expertise' in Australia in a variety of popular media forms after the 1983 pessimism of the `Grim Reaper' television campaign. It examines the radio debate around Michael Fumento's The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS in terms of the empiricist and cultura…
