The Hugh Cudlipp lecture: Does journalism exist?

"Don Tapscott, in his book Growing Up Digital, has explored some of the ways in which the technologies of the last 20 years have helped develop a generation of fierce independence; of emotional and intellectual openness; of inclusion; biased towards free expression and strong views; interested in innovation, used to immediacy; sensitive to/ suspicious of corporate interest; preoccupied with issues of authentication and trust – which includes having access to sources; interested in personalisation or customisation rather than one-size fits all; not dazzled by technology, but more concerned with functionality."

On gospel, Abba and the death of the record: an audience with Brian Eno

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else's target, which I've never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed. You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."

Academic takes exception to Air NZ uniform

"I see this as grandstanding by Mr Taonui. Air New Zealand has been in consultation with the Maori Language Commission and other Maori who are experts in this area. It is a shame Mr Taonui did not consult his elders before this outburst. He has displayed a concerning lack of knowledge on the basics of our culture".

THE SHOCK OF INCLUSION

"Unfortunately for us, though, the intellectual fate of our historical generation is unlikely to matter much in the long haul. It is our misfortune to live through the largest increase in expressive capability in the history of the human race, a misfortune because surplus always breaks more things than scarcity. Scarcity means valuable things become more valuable, a conceptually easy change to integrate. Surplus, on the other hand, means previously valuable things stop being valuable, which freaks people out."

Terrorism and child pornography used to justify surveillance society, says academic

“My concern is that its easy policy-making… if you say it’s against terrorism and it’s against child pornography then nobody is going to say no."

His comments echo those made by Dame Stella Rimington, the former head of MI5, who last year accused ministers of interfering with people's privacy and playing straight into the hands of terrorists, by creating a “police state”

The Comparative Risk of Terrorism

"Consider that on this very day about 6,700 Americans will die.... Consider then that around 1,900 of the Americans who die today will be less than 65, and that indeed about 140 will be children. Approximately 50 Americans will be murdered today, including several women killed by their husbands or boyfriends, and several children who will die from abuse and neglect. Around 85 of us will commit suicide, and another 120 will die in traffic accidents."
