Weekly New/Digital Media homework Week 17

WEEK 17

1. BBC justifies decision to allow Stephen Doughty to resign live on Daily Politics

  • Corporation defends allowing shadow foreign office minister to resign, saying it was simply broadcasting breaking news
  • The BBC has launched a staunch defence of its journalism after the Labour leadership accused the corporation of pursuing a “particular political narrative” in light of its decision to allow the shadow foreign office minister Stephen Doughty to resign live on air.
  • In a letter to the Labour party’s director of communications and strategy, Seumas Milne, the head of the BBC’s live political programmes Robbie Gibb said that the corporation had simply broadcast a breaking news story.
Google Pixel C review

  • The Pixel C is Google’s first own-brand tablet, designed and made via China by Google and is the best Android tablet available at the moment.
  • The Pixel C joins the Chromebook Pixel - the first piece of hardware designed solely by Google - but instead of running Chrome OS the Pixel C runs the latest version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, making it the first tablet to do so.
  • The Pixel line is different to the various Nexus devices which are made in partnership with third-party manufacturers such as HTC, LG or Huawei. There, the manufacturer designs and builds the device, while Google sets some of the requirements and provides the software.
