Ireland 2016 The European Rising Part 5 The Media

Published on Mar 19, 2013 Directed and edited by Marcus Howard

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. The real St Patrick's Weekend march of 2013 took place in Dublin but you probably didn't hear about it because of the media. On 16th March a selection of Irish austerity groups, independent media for Irish people gathered together outside RTE studios to protest media bias. Interviews are included with TNS Radio, This part focuses on the battle for Irish media.

Aisling Fitzgibbons (The Girl against Fluoride), Direct Democracy Ireland, Debtoptions, the National Demand Licensing Campaign. This part also features footage of the Ballyhea Bondholder Bailout movement who are achieving the attention of global media yet feel ignored by RTE, Ireland's public service broadcaster. RTE is a semi-state company. Marcus Howard, the maker of this documentary series is independent of all these organizations. He is a teacher of Media analysis and runs a free educational blog. RTE remain the only news company to have issue with this documentary series who removed part 2 of the Ireland 2016 European Rising series. Thankfully it was only a few seconds of footage that was disputed. So I removed the disputed content and reuploaded it. News company footage which I have used in previous parts such as Euronews, TV3, TG4, BBC, RT have had no issue with any of the footage I have used.This documentary is for educational purposes for teaching media analysis. It is not for profit but simply an educational critique. Feel free to disagree but I advise you to look up what these groups and organisations are about before you decide. All these groups are representing issues affecting Irish people and are uniformly feeling ignored by RTE. 

So now you know about it. What are you going to do?

Propps and Todorov's Narrative Theory

Todorov believed that all stories started with an equilibrium. Then a disruption to that equilibrium woud cause Disequilibrium. This would in turn cause a disruption and unsettlement. There is an attempt to repair the damage of the disruption

Vladimir Propp helped develop narrative by analysing the formula and attributes of characters to help develop a narrative story. By deconstructing Russian fairy tales he was able to identify a narrative structure in all stories. He also identified the following character types in most movies.



The villain who struggles against the hero.
The dispatcher who helps send the hero off on their quest.
The (magical) helper who helps the hero on their quest.
The princess or prize- Often the story end when the hero marrys the princess usually after defeating the villain. The hero would like to mrry her but because of an unfair evil, is prevented from doing so.
The father gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero and marries the hero. the father is often sought during the narrative.
The donor prepares the hero or gives them some magical object.
The hero reacts to the donor and weds the princess. The hero may be a victim/seeker hero.
The false hero may take credit for the hero's actions and may try to marry the princess.

Ireland 2016 The European Rising Part 3 is now online.

Part 3 of my little project researching how Ireland today may need to get some advice from it's past to see a way forward. On February 6th 2013 the Irish Bank and Reconcilliation Bill was rushed through the Dail under emergency legislation. €20 billion is written off our debt but our grandchildren have to foot the bill.

The video looks at the Dail debate, answers one of the questions put by party members opposing the bill by looking at the annual Turning of the Seal at Mansion House which guarantees the sovereignty of the Irish people. The video also looks at the objections of some of the opposing parties to the bill and the protest of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions march which assembled over 100,000 to protest nationwide. The protests were from teachers, nurses and the Guards as well as numerous other trade unions objecting to EU austerity.

Hopefully you will find it interesting and whether you agree or disagree, this could be a very important hiistory lesson.

Marcus Howard

Ireland 2016 The European Rising Part 2 now online

I recently posted a 2nd part to my documentary "Ireland 2016 The European Rising". Part 2 looks at the rights of Irish citizens in tough eonomic times and what lawmakers of the past would make of Irish law today. I thought it would be a relevant topic for discussion as the concept of Irish sovereignty is being discussed more and more in 2013. Part 2 features footage concerning the Irish Constitution, the Irish Proclamation, the Lisbon Treaty as well as debates within the European Parliament about Ireland originally voting No and being asked to vote again. The video concludes with a speech by JFK about what Irish independence means to the world.

For You To Do:
Discuss in class the following

• How could the media in Ireland learn from this case?
• What are the advantages of a press that is held to account and potentially fined?
• What are the disadvantages if there is greater privacy forced on the press?
• Who should be the judge of what constitutes a story that is in the public interest?
• Should celebrities have a right to privacy?
• Should the general public have a right to privacy?
• How realistically can this be enforced with the advent of new media as a result of the internet (blogs, Twitter etc)?
• Should the public have a role to play in selecting what news they purchase/consume?

If you wish to investigate the role of the London paparazzi, here is a documentary by BBC 3 from 2009. This is Part 1 of 7 and casts an often overlooked eye into the methods used by newspapers and magazines to get the pictures they want.
