Hair salons as a promising space to provide HIV and sexual and reproductive health services for young women in Lesotho
This study suggests that offering HIV/SRH services in hair salons in Lesotho seems to be largely acceptable and feasible with some addressable barriers, based on survey data. A pilot intervention, guided by this study's recommendations, is warranted to translate these findings into practice
Examining the fidelity of implementation of SKIP Cymru (Successful kinaesthetic instruction for pre-schoolers- Wales) by early childhood teachers in Wales following a programme of professional develop…
Purpose Early childhood is a crucial time to develop fundamental motor skills (FMS) such as throwing, running and kicking (Goodway, J. D., J. C. Ozmun, and D. L. Gallahue. 2019. Understanding Motor Development: Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults. Jones & Bartlett Learning.). Existing research into the play-based early childhood curricular in Wales found that children were not making progress in learning object control skills (Wainwright, N., …
The Relationship between Physical Activity and Motor Competence of Foundation Phase Children in Wales during the School Day
Early childhood is a crucial time for children to develop their fundamental motor skills (FMS), serving as a foundation for engagement in lifelong physical activity (PA). With increasing concerns over the declining levels of PA and motor competence (MC), the aim of this study was to explore the predictors of PA in children in a play-based curriculum. A secondary purpose was to explore levels of PA and MC during the school day. The final aim was t…
How does online postal self-sampling (OPSS) shape access to testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? A qualitative study of service users
Our findings constitute one of the largest qualitative studies to have explored OPSS and offer valuable insights to providers. OPSS shapes access to STI testing in a number of ways, including facilitating access in many circumstances, but users also want to retain access to clinic-based services, particularly for when they believe they need support beyond STI testing
Alienated in Community
In the 1990s, the author—now a transactional analyst, trainer, and supervisor in psychotherapy—became involved in a Christian organization that offered community membership to support sexuality reorientation, also known as conversion therapy. That encounter with alienation compounded the effects of a childhood rife with homophobia. In this essay, the author draws on these lived experiences to identify key cultural and psychological processes that…
Developing a whole-school mental health and wellbeing intervention through pragmatic formative process evaluation
Formative, pragmatic process evaluations can support researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in developing robust scientific evidence-bases for acceptable and feasible local innovations that do not already have a clear evidence base. The case of a whole-school restorative approach provides a case example of how such an evaluation may be undertaken

The withdrawal of local and regional news journalism
In Wales, as elsewhere, there has been a steady withdrawal of established professional journalism from newsrooms and communities after decades of redundancies, staff cuts and recruitment freezes. This withdrawal has almost certainly been hastened and intensified by large publishers&s; decisions to maintain high profits to fund regular shareholder dividends. Media Wales publishes more news, owns more outlets and employs more journalists than any o…
Conclusion
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book looks at hyperlocal publishers both as contributors to the public sphere, fulfilling to some extent a normative journalistic role, and as chroniclers of the everyday. It highlights how hyperlocal news was being discussed by commentators and by some academics as potentially playing a role in reinvigorating both communities …
Inside the hyperlocal newsroom
Citizens are seen as active contributors, which in some way has eased the pressure on hyperlocals of having to be constantly finding new material. While On the Wight represents, to an extent, the &s;fictive&s; hyperlocal entrepreneur as discussed widely in policy-focused literature, the publishers draw on a much broader discourse to situate their practice, rather than simply an entrepreneurial one. One other source of income for On the Wight has …
Sustaining hyperlocal journalism
This chapter describes hyperlocal publishers as entrepreneurial subjects as much as journalists. Whilst running hyperlocal websites has become a useful feature of undergraduate and postgraduate journalism training, it is unclear how many emphasise the need for entrepreneurial skills alongside journalistic ones. The chapter explores the underlying attitudes that hyperlocal publishers have towards the economics of hyperlocal within the context of v…
Inside a news black hole – case study of a town with no newspaper
This chapter describes a mix of research methods to gain an understanding of the nature of what many commentators were calling the "news black hole" in Port Talbot. The voice and influence of citizens, however, diminished in the face of cuts and closures. The chapter discusses the ability of Port Talbot&s;s weakened journalism infrastructure to provide information, representation and scrutiny to citizens. Low levels of knowledge may be linked to …
From lost pets to local corruption
This chapter presents an analysis of the UK hyperlocal news sector, largely covering the period 2012–2015. It looks at extent, variety and content of hyperlocal news and information operations and shows how they contribute to local public spheres of information, bringing together empirical data from a range of research methods including a content analysis, a survey and interviews. As well as there being generalist hyperlocals who occasionally car…
Hyperlocal news in context
In this chapter, the authors provide an overview of scholarly concerns about the decline of the local press. For many scholars, hyperlocal journalism can potentially fulfil the role of rejuvenating a &s;denigrated&s; public sphere whose journalism is "turning people off citizenship rather than equipping them to fulfil their democratic potential". The authors begin by looking at scholarly concerns over the impact a declining local press has on dem…
Practising hyperlocal journalism – authenticity and reciprocity
This chapter describes the motivations and practices of hyperlocal journalists. It also describes how hyperlocal journalists draw heavily on a civic values discourse in order to contextualise their practice and how that in turn motivates them to be an authentic voice for citizens. The chapter examines how hyperlocal publishers talk about their news operations. Hyperlocal publishers are very conscious that what they choose to talk about can affect…

Hyperlocal Journalism
In the wake of the withdrawal of commercial journalism from local communities at the beginning of the 21st century, Hyperlocal Journalism critically explores the development of citizen-led community news operations. The book draws together a wide range of original research by way of case studies, interviews, and industry and policy analysis, to give a complete view of what is happening to communities as their local newspapers close or go into dec…

Discourses of Enterprise in Hyperlocal Community News in the UK
In recent years, a new wave of hyperlocal community news websites has developed in the United Kingdom (UK), with many taking advantage of new opportunities provided by free open-source publishing platforms. Given the trend in the UK newspaper industry towards closure and retrenchment of their local and regional press titles, it is perhaps understandable that policy-makers have shifted their gaze to these sites. This article examines the viability…
Reciprocity and The Hyperlocal Journalist
Increased interest in hyperlocal news has led to growing evidence of its economic value, its ability to play traditional democratic roles associated with news, and its merits and deficiencies in comparison with the outputs of a declining established commercial news industry. Given many hyperlocal producers cite the desire to play a role in producing better communities, this paper breaks new ground in examining the social and cultural dimensions o…

The Myth of Moral Panics
This study provides a comprehensive critique - forensic, historical, and theoretical - of the moral panic paradigm, using empirically grounded ethnographic research to argue that the panic paradigm suffers from fundamental flaws that make it a myth rather than a viable academic perspective.

Have They Got News for Us
The BBC elicits and uses a number of different types of audience material, but the corporation has most wholeheartedly embraced what we call Audience Content (eyewitness footage or photos, accounts of experiences, and story tip-offs). Indeed, when the term user-generated content (UGC) is used by BBC news journalists it usually denotes only this kind of material. Audience material is often described by commentators and practitioners as having revo…

Selling Science
Over the last 20 years science news has been written by dwindling numbers of reporters, with higher workloads, and less time than previously to conduct tasks such as finding, researching, and checking news stories. Simultaneously, a growing science communication sector is developing more power to influence what, and how, such news is reported. This paper examines media coverage of animal–human hybrid embryos in the context of a highly efficient p…

This accessible text examines the subject of further serious offending through the medium of major inquiries, inspections and reports. Inquiries discussed include the Clunis Inquiry, the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry, the Marchioness Inquiry and the Anthony Rice Inquiry. This book explores the extent to which recommendations are im…
The Irresistible Revolution
Handbook of Public Protection
Public protection has become an increasingly central theme in the work of the criminal justice agencies in many parts of the world in recent years. Its high public profile and consequent political sensitivity means that growing numbers of criminal justice professionals find their daily work load dominated by the assessment and management of high risk of harm offenders. Developments such as sex offender registers and (in the UK) Multi Agency Publi…
Advertising and Fiction in the Pickwick Papers
It is well known that many of Dickens's novels were published in monthly serial parts. Not so commonly known is that each of these monthly numbers consisted not only of Dickens's words and his illustrator's pictures but also a substantial advertising supplement. In the original serial numbers of The Pickwick Papers , the presence of advertising cannot escape notice. Before reaching the illustrations that precede the novel in each serial part, the…
