In our first video post, Ronan Martin is joined by Dr Douglas Chalmers. Douglas has a background in economics and is a lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University where he teaches media ethics.
In this in-depth interview, Douglas covers issues such as the increasing monopolisation of the media, the role of the internet in journalism – as well as in the recent Arab uprisings – and the significance of the Wikileaks revelations.
The discussion was filmed at Caledonian University in the journalism department’s custom built TV newsroom.
Despite a slight technical hitch with camera 1 at the beginning – and a rather troublesome and intrusive earpiece! – we are pleased to have had such a productive discussion on our first attempt.
