Justin Rosenstein had tweaked his laptop’s operating system to block Reddit, banned himself from Snapchat, which he compares to heroin, and imposed limits on his use of Facebook. But even that wasn’t enough. In August, the 34-year-old tech executive took a more radical step to restrict his use of social media and other addictive technologies.

New documentary about the undercover spies is being made | Undercover with Paul Lewis and Rob Evans | UK news | theguardian.com

A new documentary about the police’s undercover operations is being made.

Back in November 2011, Channel Four broadcast a documentary about Mark Kennedy, the police spy who spent many years undercover in environmental groups. It was made very much from his point of view.

This new documentary will be different - it tells the story from the point of view of those who were the targets of the police’s covert espionage.

Jason Kirkpatrick, the director of the new documentary Spied Upon, says that the aim of his film is to show the “human story of what it’s like to be targeted by secret police, while revealing at a human scale today’s complex international spying apparatus.”

Jon Slattery: UK Riots: Where’s the journalism on the causes?
►http://jonslattery.blogspot.com/2011/08/uk-riots-wheres-journalism-on-causes.html

The Guardian’s Paul Lewis, who has won plaudits for his frontline reporting of the riots in the UK, says journalists have so far failed to provide a thorough analysis of why the trouble broke out.

He contrasted the innovative way in which social media like Twitter was used to report the riots with a lack of analysis and attempts by journalists to get to the roots of what caused such large scale civil unrest.

Speaking at an NUJ meeting to discuss coverage of the riots, Lewis described much of the journalism in the aftermath of the riots as “really quite bad”.

He said: "I haven’t read a single good piece which has interviewed a lot of people who were involved in the riots. Not one. I cannot understand why that is. Foreign reporters manage to interview members of the Taliban but not interview kids who were involved in the riots in the UK. It’s almost incomprehensible .
