Enjoying the new memoir ‘Revolucion to Roxy’ by @philmanzanera, lead guitarist in Roxy Music, who I remember as Phillip Targett-Adams, a fellow boarder at Dulwich College. I’m bottom left, he’s top right in this photo from the book.
Ofcom feels the need to say its CEO Dame Melanie Dawes ‘does not play any role in the decision-making process in relation to the assessment, investigation, and enforcement of broadcasting standards generally and due impartiality matters specifically”. bylinetimes.com/2024/04/23/ofc…
The cross-examination of Angela van den Bogerd at the Post Office Inquiry should be turned into a trainee video for recruits into corporate life warning them what happens when you start to believe that sticking to corporate ‘messaging’ is more important than the truth.
Another excellent blog from Stewart Purvis, a former Ofcom official, on the absurd mess Ofcom have got themselves into over GB News.

This is a very good piece analysing how craven @Ofcom has become under its current woeful leadership. GB News now either ignores or openly mocks the regulator.

Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
I've supported Ofcom in fostering diversity of views. But they've got this one wrong. They're creating a gulf between 'News' & 'Current Affairs' that doesn't exist; and they rely too much on audience perceptions. There has to be an editorial grip on what is impartial and fair.

So, @Nigel_Farage - one of the founders & owners of @reformparty_uk - can present an “impartial” programme on a TV “news” channel during the general election according to the broadcasting regulator @Ofcom. The leader of the party @TiceRichard & its only MP @LeeAndersonMP_ can…

Ofcom-commissioned audience research finds ‘the most prevalent view was feeling uncomfortable with politicians presenting current affairs programmes’ but decides not to change its current policy allowing it on GBNews. ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/20…
Andrew Neil: "I'm surprised how tolerant Ofcom has been of GBnews... I certainly would never have allowed politicians to interview other politicians from the same party... incredible... on these areas Ofcom needs to find a backbone... & quick."
Hard to explain to those who didn’t know her what a total force of nature she was, prone to eye-watering bursts of colourful language that would make a hardy sea-dog blush but a brilliantly instinctive director of some of ITN’s greatest programmes. We’ll never see her like again.

Courtesy of the @ITNArchive, a look behind the scenes at News at Ten from 1971 - uploaded as a tribute to legendary director Diana Edwards-Jones. @thetvroom @tvlive @AlStewartOBE @StewartPurvis youtube.com/watch?v=YfofH-…
Diana Edwards-Jones was the floor manager on the first night of ITN in 1955. Di, or ‘DEJ’, has died aged 91. She became a great studio director on major live events such as Man on the Moon. In the 1980s I was privileged to sit alongside her being told what to do.

Hi @glastonbury, it’s @Harlequins calling 🫡. #BSKO
@StewartPurvis @NickCohen4 I’ve worked for people like this. I came to believe their primary function is to insulate executives from reality (and, of course, blame)
@StewartPurvis No it won’t Stewart there are always immoral vermin ready to “obey orders”. Nothing will change.
I am sick to the back teeth of former Post Office executives saying 'I don't remember' and 'I don't recall' when faced with clear evidence of their failings. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry
@StewartPurvis Your article highlights the absurdity of Ofcom’s conclusions and why it shouldn’t be using focus groups to determine policy. As a regulator it should be much much better than that. Melanie Dawes seems way out of her depth. Someone who understands impartiality needs to take over.
Another excellent blog from Stewart Purvis, a former Ofcom official, on the absurd mess Ofcom have got themselves into over GB News.
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
Stewart Purvis was the editor & CEO of ITN. An academic & advisor to Ofcom He knows of what he writes. Also Ofcom & Electoral Commission know what is going on here. Loss making GB News is being funded to “nudge” the Tory Party to the right to shift electoral equilibrium.
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
Excellent blog, summarising the seemingly cynical flaws in Ofcom's research. When GBNews began, I gave Ofcom the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. It's clearly not fit for purpose.

@StewartPurvis We’ve been having this in Italy for the last forty years. Welcome to the party.
This is very well worth a read. In my view, @Ofcom and @dawes_melanie are not fit for purpose.
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
It’s barking mad and utterly disgraceful and near-traitorous, is what it is @Ofcom
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
Good dissection of the @Ofcom focus groups that led to the guidance issued yesterday for the General Election. In short, Ofcom are not covering themselves in glory here.
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
Chilling read from @StewartPurvis on the way .@Ofcom has caved in to @GBNEWS .@Ofcom is not doing its job It has failed
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
“Chris Banatvala adds this important final point: ‘when all is said+done, this qualitative research shows ‘Across groups there was common concern about politicians presenting current affairs content‘. Surely that is the beginning of the debate+not,as Ofcom seems to imply,the end”
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
@StewartPurvis Isn't Ofcom dancing on the head of a pin here, and treating Reform as a compamy and not a party (even though Farage is listed on the Companies House register as 'leader of a political party)?
Hard to explain to those who didn’t know her what a total force of nature she was, prone to eye-watering bursts of colourful language that would make a hardy sea-dog blush but a brilliantly instinctive director of some of ITN’s greatest programmes. We’ll never see her like again.
Diana Edwards-Jones was the floor manager on the first night of ITN in 1955. Di, or ‘DEJ’, has died aged 91. She became a great studio director on major live events such as Man on the Moon. In the 1980s I was privileged to sit alongside her being told what to do.
