No cause for celebration: the rise of celebrity news values in the British quality press
No full textIn their study of news values in in the British press Harcup and O’Neill (2001) noted that celebrity was one of the redefinitions of the ‘taxonomy of news values for the twenty-first century’. At the time, Harcup and O’Neill made no judgement about the changes in news values in their redefinition, nor did their research focus on the relative importance and potency of certain
news values in the hierarchy of news. Using celebrity case studies from recent decades in the British ‘quality’ press, this article seeks to do just that, demonstrating that the pervasiveness and volume of coverage of celebrity has risen exponentially over 30-plus years. Celebrity/entertainment news values would appear to have risen much higher up the hierarchy of news, guaranteeing extensive coverage if combined with other news values such as surprise and bad news. The findings give rise to a wider debate and concerns about the colonisation of celebrity news and dumbing down in so many areas of British journalism, and the implications for the public

Otkrio sam da sam umro
No full textVijestOtkrio sam da sam umro dok sam pokušavao napisati knjigu. To još nije bila ova knjiga. Živio sam sa suprugom u stanu s pogledom na dvorište, dva kata iznad restorana. Osoblje restorana voljelo se družiti u dvorištu u prizemlju, u onom unutarnjem prostoru od kojeg zgrade oblikuju poliedar izopačene prisnosti. Ondje bi jeli, pušili, pričali na telefon, brbljali. Njihove riječi prolazile su kroz zidove mog doma. Kao da sam bio u Strindbergovu Paklu i slušao glasove koji su ga slijedili po jeftinim pariškim hotelima na zalasku 19. stoljeća. No to je bio Rio de Janeiro i za razliku od švedskog pisca, ja nisam bio lud. Ili sam želio vjerovati da nisam. Budući da su me svako jutro budili glasni razgovori koji mi danju nisu dali raditi, a noću ševiti, često sam se žalio na buku. Kada moji prigovori ne bi urodili plodom, zaurlao bih kroz prozor: „Zašuti, kurvin sine!”. Jedne noći nakon kratke izmjene uvreda, bacio sam na njih prvo što mi je došlo pod ruku: vreću smeća punu pisama. Zauzvrat, na prozor dnevnog boravka bačeno je jaje. Moja žena je plakala. Bjelanjak je i dalje curio po staklu kad su pokupili kuverte i uputili se u najbližu stanicu. Policija me privela tereteći me za prijetnju i napad ili opasno ponašanje, broj policijskog izvješća 014-03595/2011

Stvari koje sam trebala učiniti
No full textAvionsku kartu kupila sam u jedan ujutro u somalijskom internet-caféu otvorenom dvadeset četiri sata na dan u prizemlju zgrade u Hackneyju, gdje sam imala garsonijeru. Nekoć sam imala laptop, ali sam ga prodala. Ne zato što mi je osobito trebao novac, iako mi je uskoro i zatrebao jer je poslije bilo nemoguće naći posao. Stavili su u novine našu sliku, znate, s odmora na Kreti, na koji smo otišli četiri i pol mjeseca nakon što smo se upoznali; ja držim nož i vilicu povrh slabo pečena odreska kao kanibal, a njegovo suncem opaljeno lice pritisnuto je uz moje, oči poluzatvorene jer smo cijeli dan pijuckali nešto na vrućini. Upravo mi je rekao da me voli i na toj fotografiji prokleto blistamo. Slika je idealna za ono što su novine htjele prikazati; posrećilo im se pa su je dobili samo zato što je visjela iznad moga radnog stola na poslu, a poslije se, naravno, nisam tamo smjela vratiti. Ali ne, nije bilo zbog novca, prodala sam laptop jer nisam mogla prestati pretraživati internet. Uzela sam tri slobodna dana. U call-centru to se može, uzeti slobodno u zadnji tren. Prečesto to radim jer se katkad ne mogu suočiti s djevojkama s narančastim puderom i njihovim licima koja kažu „al ono, fakat” i dečkima s jeftinim, sjajnim kravatama pastelnih boja koje bazde na cigarete Benson & Hedges dok drsko šeću pokraj mene. Od svih njih sam starija deset godina i budući da je neki konzultant odlučio da će voditelji ureda spremnije kupovati fluorescentne žarulje koje im nude poslovno odjeveni telefonisti, nosim svoju nekadašnju odjeću, elegantne suknje i bluze; kao da nosim duha. Dobro mi ide, doduše; u glasu mi se čuje osmijeh, tako kažu, pa su me zadržali iako svaki dan nastane gužva kad ne žele sjesti za stol pokraj mene. Mislim da ti klinci, koji stoje vani u kaljuži dok između smjena puše i jedu piletinu i pomfrit iz malih kartonskih kutija, imaju vrlo jadne živote. U početku sam ih čak sažalijevala, ali nekomu poput mene sažaljenje je luksuz. Mislila sam i da će im dosaditi da me provociraju, ali u dulje od godinu dana koliko ondje radim, još im nije dosadilo
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
ŠTO SAM VIDIO U JEDNOJ ŽUPI

Recordings of the discovery of novel food patches in common woodland birds in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK 2021
No full textThis dataset contains information about the recordings of great tits, blue tits, marsh tits and nuthatches discovering novel food patches in relation to manipulated local population densities (see 1a4dcbb3-c4fb-4bd4-acb3-d03932de9323). Prior to and during the density manipulation experiment, novel feeders were placed at random locations and the discovery of these was recorded using a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag attached to each bird and the information recorded using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antenna within the feeder. The experiment took place in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK between January and March 2021, as part of a study on the effects of ecological factors on social structure and information transmission. Data collection was performed by Keith McMahon, Sam Croft and Kristina Beck. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/S010335/1), The ecology of behavioural contagion in natural systems
