Daniel Jackson
I am a researcher, educator and consultant in the field of media, communication and politics.
My research broadly explores the intersection of media and democracy, including news coverage of politics, the construction of news, political communication, and political talk online. I am co-convenor of the Political Studies Association Media and Politics Group and have hosted its annual conference at BU in 2011 and 2013.
I am committed to educational innovation and the empowerment of students. I am co-founder and committee member of Amilla: the national competition for PR students. I co-founded and jointly edit the Journal of Promotional Communications: an open access journal dedicated to showcasing the best student scholarship in this field. I was formerly the Programme Leader for the BA Public Relations degree at BU, and Framework Leader for the suite of undergraduate programmes offered in the CMC academic group.
In recent years I have been increasingly engaged in consultancy and knowledge exchange. I have been heavily involved in the creation and development of the Creative Enterprise Bureau: a unique collaboration between academics and students in the Media School at Bournemouth University. Through the CEB I have led research and communications consultancy projects with regional and national clients including the Mirror Group and Channel 4.

levels. Second, the contingency of framing effects is a contested but crucial area of the framing paradigm and deserves greater attention in strategic framing studies. The study therefore examines this in detail by testing a number of individual characteristics for their moderating effects. The author found that relative to issue-based coverage, strategic news frames increased issue-specific political cynicism, but this effect was
only evident for those who were less politically engaged and knowledgeable. The effects of the strategy frame on more global measures of political cynicism were minimal. The findings are discussed in the light of ongoing debates about framing
effects and the media’s role in democratic engagement.
of politics has moved away from a focus on issues, and instead towards political strategy. Research evidencing such concerns has tended to examine strategic news at a macro level and rarely delves into the complexities surrounding its manifestations. This study addresses this issue by conducting a content analysis of a non-election issue in the British news media (press and TV news) over a three-month period, examining strategy news as a frame. The issue chosen for case study was the “euro debate” of May June 2003. Findings showed the euro debate to fulfil many typical characteristics of EU reporting in the British media, with coverage cyclical and driven by events, and subsequently lacking sustained engagement with the issues. Although there was a roughly equal balance of issue and strategy framed stories in the press, certain features of coverage gave strategy greater prominence. Despite much of the content analysis’s findings confirming the worries of media critics, a number of qualifications emerge, such as the active role that politicians play as sources of strategic news.

Within this report – commissioned by the UK’s Paralympic broadcaster, Channel 4 – we consider everyday experiences of disability and disability sport within the context of the London 2012 Paralympics and televised coverage of the Games. The analysis is based 140 in-depth interviews that took place in the UK over a period of eighteen months, during the lead up to, and immediately after, the Games: between January 2011 and September 2012. Embedded in the lifeworld of our participants, we ask whether the 2012 Paralympics was successful in changing perceptions of disability.
In this report we present:
– An overview of how involved students are engaging in knowledge exchange through consultancy via a comprehensive audit of all 164 UK HEI’s. Here, we identify different models of student consultancy in terms of their links to research and education, and offer some more broader reflections on the way that UK universities are engaging with business.
– Through four case studies (with a total of 32 interviews and 3 focus groups), an analysis of the key tensions, barriers and motivations (both internal and external) in integrating students in consultancy in ways what benefit them, academic staff, HEIs and external organisations.
– The implications for the management of such projects, and a series of recommendations for those who wish to involve students in university consultancy services.
The report should be essential reading for academic leaders and staff involved in delivering education for employability.
