DESCRIPTION:Remaking the news? Can (or should-) academia improve migration
  reporting?\nRobert McNeil\n\nIn this seminar\, Rob McNeil (Deputy Directo
 r of the Migration Observatory\, COMPAS\, University of Oxford) will prese
 nt and discuss a new handbook he has co-authored with Tom Law (Global Foru
 m for Media Development/Ethical Journalism Network) for the International 
 Centre on Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) that provides detailed guid
 elines to support effective and ethical practices for journalists reportin
 g on migration. The handbook - at about 200 pages long - is probably the m
 ost comprehensive effort yet produced to teach journalists about how to re
 port migration. It was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.\nBut i
 t also raises important questions about the role of academia in the public
  sphere: Should there be rules or guidelines on how public/media debates s
 hould take place? Should we expect a level of qualifying knowledge for peo
 ple to express valid views about complex subjects (and how can we scrutini
 se this)?  Can we really expect a free exchange of ideas when people are i
 nformed by journalists? Is it positive for powerful states to fund program
 mes designed to train journalists - particularly those in less powerful st
 ates - in ethical practices\, or is it a form of hegemony designed to furt
 her support for certain political processes/ideas?\nRob will also use this
  opportunity to discuss some of his research on European media practices i
 n the reporting of migration.\nThe handbook is available here: https://www
