A technique called draw and write was used to ascertain the views of the young people. Permanent repository link:There was an interest in and reports of cooking and food preparation in the home among the children in all three schools. Families played a significant role in the food preparation of food and in helping the young people prepare food.The reports from the children in this survey display a disparate food culture. The Wales andHerefordshire schools showed a greater propensity for chips and fried foods as the mainstay of many meals, this inclination was less evident in the London school. Yet other aspects of global food culture such as fast food and burgers and pizzas have clearly gained a hold. But there is also an attempt to include them within traditional mores and values related to food such as the 'proper meal'.The ubiquitous preference for chips and fried foods indicates that at an early age children are developing preferences for processed foods high in fat. This was also evident in the number of drawings and words that mentioned visits to McDonalds and the use of brands names such as 'McFlurry'. 7The stories from the children indicate that the prominent person in the household for the transmission of cooking skills is still 'mum', although there is evidence from the current stories of men becoming more involved in the kitchen. There was an interesting sub text with stepfathers in the London school seeming to play a large part in the 'emotional work' of food preparation.Overall the research suggests a lot of commonality, but also differences between the schools in terms of how food culture is interpreted geographically.

In this article, we suggest that three concepts from cultural and media studies might be useful for analysing the ways audiences are constructed in science communication: that media are immanent to society, media are multiple and various, and audiences are active. This article uses those concepts, along with insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS), to examine the category of 'the disengaged' within science communication. This article deals with the contrast between 'common sense' and scholarly ideas of media and audiences in the field of cultural and media studies. It compares the 'common sense' with scholarly ideas of science publics from STS. We conclude that it may be time to reconsider the ontology of publics and the disengaged for science communication.

In 2006 Queensland's Courier-Mail was relaunched in a ‘compact’ format. This study compares one week of the broadsheet format of The Courier-Mail (the third week of September 2005) with the corresponding week from the new compact format a year later. The study demonstrates that the new format of the newspaper was not merely an aesthetic change: increased advertising and a more regular use of pullouts were accompanied by often-significant changes in editorial content. Refining Sparks' model of print media fields (2000: 14–15), the authors demonstrate how this change in positioning of the newspaper might be mapped against other print media and suggest that this model might also have wider application in understanding a media landscape experiencing legislative and technological change.

This article details the creation (by lead author Reichheld) and successful use by many organizations of the Net Promoter Score (NPS). The article states that the score is built around the answer to the question: How likely would you be to recommend [Organization X] to a friend or colleague? According to the authors, “the score has become the cornerstone of a whole system of management aimed at cultivating great customer experiences. A similar process asking employees how likely they would be to recommend their firm as a great place to work (and why) has evolved into employee NPS.” The best organizations are those in which leaders practice the “Golden Rule, ‘love thy neighbor as thyself,’ or, more secularly, ‘enrich the lives you touch’.” The authors contend that a “true Golden Rule solution has to satisfy requirements across multiple dimensions. It has to: (1) enhance the happiness and well‐being of others; (2) maintain or, preferably, enhance their dignity and well‐being; and (3) strengthen the web of communities supporting that relationship.” Six challenges are presented to this Golden Rule leadership, which are in the authors’ words: Superficial understanding of the Golden Rule; Bad incentive/reward systems; Inadequate feedback/measurement; No safe time and place to process feedback; Anonymity; and Bad Behavior.
