I was discussing the future of the BBC in Scotland at Holyrood today. It was a really rich discussion - so much at stake in respect of protecting our democracy and what role public service media can play. Our GUMG submission (w/ @catrionaforrest.bsky.social) here: www.parliament.scot/~/media/comm...

Today @catherinehapper.bsky.social gave evidence at the Scottish Parliament Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee Inquiry into Scottish Broadcasting.

Catherine referenced the work of @gu-mg.bsky.social and UofG's media programmes.

Here's a new special issue of Journalism Studies, edited by @dr-hm-mabweazara.bsky.social and @catherinehapper.bsky.social and dedicated to our former colleague Greg Philo. It revisits the core concerns of media sociology - power, ideology, bias - but broadens the focus beyond Europe and America.
