And drumming, you build up muscles. in the head, as well, im not really that age. you know, iteach, im with the kids all the time. stewart hardy has played in local essex bands for years. for the drumathon, stewart is doing an overnight session next tuesday, from 10pm at night till 10:00 in the morning. 12 hours? 12 hours. how are you going to manage? caffeine, primarily, ithink. i dont know. its a long session, ive never played for 12 hours before, but thats the nature of what were doing. if we...

Frustrations of the coverage. particularly in scotland watching coverage. this framing that the snp failed to win a majority and its just become repetitive, this mantra, someone will say that, someone else sticks up to correct it. the parliamentary system stays up to having a majority government so when the majority previously under alex salmond, that was a freak event. it was not supposed to happen. and so when nicola sturgeon was saying she wasnt expecting to win the majority, she wasnt becaus...

With mobeen azhar. hello. the news cycle, the news agenda, why is the news told in the way it is? im thinking about the way the media covered the recent election. new mayors, new councillors, new mps, but all i could think about was the giant inflatable boris johnson. you must�*ve seen it. im talking about this 30 foot blow—up version of the prime minister that appeared outside hartlepool count at 4am and then magically reappeared at the marina when he came to meet the winning candidate in f...

Of a crisis over the weekend. and the spectacular conservative win in hartlepool. _ we had a four—day period from the election going through with the results of four separate local. elections spread out over three days. - we had a real marathon telling the story of the i results. and the first result _ was the conservatives winning the police and crime i commissioner election. and of course nationally we were looking at - what was happening in hartlepool. - so we were beginning to wonder what ...

But i think on a daily level, we are now in a habit- of seeing the stories at _ the beginning of the day and how it transforms. i think there are loads of people who are political geeks or have i theirjob as it and theyll be i following it minute by minute, hour by hour. but i think the bulk of our readers are people who want to _ perhaps know what is - happening in the morning and know whats happening in the evening. _ its yourjob to cut - through the bluster and the noise in that space of time...

Slightly naive approach. it was slightly out of the usual narrative, _ that huge inflatable. the thing is lets imagine the conservatives had lost, i suspect that huge inflatable would also become the image of the by—election. i think the interesting question is was the focus of these elections far too much on england in an off—year election and the height of the biggest public policy success any government has ever known basically since the war? and not on the future of the united kingdom. i...

Knew about this in advance? everything we are hearing is that they didnt. it is not a conservative piece of branding. i think the prime minister quickly turned it to his advantage. the result meant it became almost a metaphor for something quite helpful to the tory party. because of the tory gains in seats like hartlepool and the by—election and we heard the prime minister offered to buy it for his personal collection. it does feel as though it was fairly coincidental. i think its an interesti...

Like to thank keir starmer and keir starmer, his response was i would like to thank dan norris by making sure that no one outside of bristol or indeed outside of the bristol metro area ever writes about his quite impressive result. but that was an attempt to control the news agenda. look, were using this terrible result to catalyst for change and wielding the axe, im a strong leader, hear me roar. of course the problem was he succeeded in moving the story on from the result. and demonstrating he...

Bases first and is we serve in exclusive market moving news. 0n the b2b side we supply close to 3000 media companies and broadcasters with news from across the globe. and then on the b2c side we have our reuters.com events as well as content marketing arm. they are primarily the three areas of business that we do. of course, we talked a lot and have been talking a lot about the recent election. one of the defining images or video clips from the election was when im sure you remember this, when k...

So the model of people generating their own content and therefore breaking their own news, is that a threat to the reuters model? no, i dont see it as a threat. i think its an amplification. i think its something that is of great use for reuters. as well as i think its really important that you think about the supply chain of content be it either creation verification and distribution. so unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation on social media platforms. and reuters does a lot of work an...
