DEEP WEB FOR JOURNALISTS – Comms, Counter-Surveillance, Search

“Compelling reading for all journalists” – Jim Boumelha, President, International Federation of Journalists.

Journalism has been transformed by the Internet and the Internet has opened journalists to levels of surveillance that would have horrified George Orwell. All journalists should be aware of the dangers they face in the digital world – the emerging battleground.

These days it is not just journalists working in repressive regimes that need worry. Increasingly, outwardly-democratic governments are tightening control over the Internet and those who use it.

Not every journalist needs be concerned about this. But it is important to know how to operate securely should you ever need to. If you can’t offer confidentiality, you are compromised.

DUNKIRK SPIRIT
The British may define themselves with the words ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ yet remarkably this is the first novel to tell the full true story of the evacuation in the early months of the Second World War. For the first time, journalist and best-selling author Alan Pearce tells the incredible story of personal sacrifice and bravery both on the home front and in the front line. Drawing on personal accounts and official histories, he dispels the common myths and gives a harrowing perspective of a great defeat and subsequent miracle seen through the eyes of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Heart warming and compelling, this is a book that raises the spirits, and begs the question could we ever do it again?

“PLAYING IT SAFE”
Imagine a world where you were banned from baking your granny a cake or feeding your child toast. Welcome to Britain in the 21st Century where the Job’s Worth now lords it large, issuing edicts of mind-boggling stupidity that ruin the quality of people’s lives all in the name of health and safety. We now live in a world where council workmen legally vandalise the graves of people’s loved ones and where wellington boots come with a 24-page instruction manual. There is virtually no area of our lives left untouched by the Health & Safety Brigade, a group that has banned even more commonplace activities than the Taliban.

Best-selling author and journalist Alan Pearce guides us through a tsunami of shocking new laws and stupendously mad regulations that do nothing to improve our lives but which leave us asking “Whose side are they on?”
