The flags issue was probably easier to cover because of the symbolism and the notion that a flag was being taken down from public buildings and there was an erosion in a sense of identity. even though it was a result of a democratic vote by an elected body. people could probably focus on it much more easily and people could probably also focus on the dispute over parades. because you have the orange order marching down a particular route and being stopped and the follow. this is been so unusual ...

The security measures taken by photographers... photographers are actually up close in a way that journalists and reporters arent. the security measures that they adopt varies. we will see some tv crews coming to the riots and theyll actually have a security person with them. someone with warzone training. and it will be that personsjob to look after the backs of the camera crew. they will watch and see where the journalist park their cars. there was one, i dont know whether it was russian tv cr...

Towards him, he decided to step back, thankfully. as i turned around the other male was on top of me, standing in front of me, i confronted him at that point by loudly shouting in the street at him. and including asking, what are you doing? extremely distressing. another photographer also had his car trashed as well. we dont think that was a targeted attack, but suzanne, kevin is a colleague of yours, have you spoken to them, is he ok? yeah. he is very, very courageous young man. hes 26 years of...

To see this happening. again, its something you see happen a lot, when there are tensions or protests. because people look to further inflame those. and they have different reasons for wanting to do that. these inauthentic accounts, which were removed, definitely had the hallmark of an influence information. you then begin asking the question, who would do this and why? weve seen other messages circulating on places like whatsapp, where its very difficult to get to the bottom of who sharing in t...

In those local markets. so i think the audience dictates. surely size does matter in your game. do you have it with power, do you ever strong arm a channel into perhaps taking a drama series that you are trying to push in exchange for something else? you might say to the bbc, yes, you can have a mastermind for this much but you have to take this series as well. do you ever find yourself making those sorts of deals? well, in some territories on some programmes we have, the division im responsible...

They didnt take it seriously enough and shes actually had to kick up a major fuss about it to get the attention that it deserves. lets take a sharp turn now and think about the world of tv. we have got cathy payne here. the bbc announced last month at bbc four would, its words, -- in its —— in its words become the home of the most distinctive content from across the bbc�*s archive. basically, it will no longer commission original content for the channel. vice media is also closing its line...

Produce content. and for a large part of the rest of the world, where we dont have production entities, we licence the right to produce shows or licence shows that are already made. we are governed by broadcasting standards in each of those territories. and whatever you say about content and how you consume content and audience in any market tells you what they want to watch. and there is culture. culture tastes are so specific to every territory. and that will never change. that is why many of ...

I think that quote you mentioned is so poignant because what happens on social media very much bleeds into whats happening on the streets. suzanne, have you seen much of this activity on social media? yes, there is a lot of that activity on social media. and threats can spread. in the past, may be a threat to a journalist was more direct. now hundreds of thousands of people can see it. theres a colleague of mine, a fantastic young female journalist on a sister paper of the belfast telegraph. she...

You make it sound like there were others. there is always those ones but i think at the end of day youve got to look at the commitment of the network and at that time and it was really hard to move it from itv. it was channel five, stood up and made a commitment and is continued with that commitment. so its not always about the money then. theres a lot you have to weigh up when you do these deals. just to give you a bit of a bio to help the audience as well you went on to become the boss of end ...

Attention to themselves, they want to stay low key, they want to be understated and be able to move around quickly. but its very much a balancing act. what i have found is photographers may be choosing not to work on their own, they would better work in small groups. to have a wee bit of cover. kevins experience was awful but a lot of photographers that i would speak to say there hasnt been a major problem with the rioters. it will maybe only be if there are too close and people feel that their ...
