| − | ==Stevenson==
| |
| | | | |
| − | Most of these points just need a source and the sourcing is mostly availabe in the docs I will send which you can search by keyword...
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The "Corporate advisor" section
| |
| − | ***Previously advisor and/or member of: Consigna plc, British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (supposedly Murdoch was reluctantly persuaded to accept him as an independent director and recruitment head of BSkyB (Sunday Business 2/5/99)***
| |
| − | * <b>Lynn's note</b> - Murdoch may have been reluctant but the bit in the article doesn't express this directly. It says:
| |
| − | :'Pearson happened to be a major shareholder in BSkyB but Stevenson got his directorship of Rupert Murdoch's television company entirely independently. Pearson had two representatives on the Sky board: Goldman Sachs' John Thornton persuaded Murdoch to accept Stevenson as an independent director'. I've reworded the article accordingly.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This Murdoch "supposedly" thing mention needs a reference.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ***(Stevenson got this directorship because of Pearson's shareholding in the bank, the Halifax is a Lazard client, but Stevenson was chosen because it was also a client of his SRU)***
| |
| − | These statements--that S. got the directorship because of Pearson's shareholding in the bank, and the reason why S. was chosen being that the Halifax(?) was also a client of SRU--need to be supported - <b>Done</b>.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ***(Margaret Thatcher supposedly vetoed his appointment to the Tate but Tim Bell interceded on his behalf),***
| |
| − | source? need to support these 2 statements - <b>Done</b>

| − | The "New Labour connections" section
| |
| − | ***Having personally funded the 'Stevenson Commission',***
| |
| − | source?
| |
| − | <b>Lynn's note</b> unable to find, I've added a 'ref needed' to this bit in his article.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ***This quickly went on the road to privatisation***
| |
| − | I assume "This" means the info tech in schools? might be good to clarify for tired journos
| |
| − | <b>Lynn's note</b> Looks like this refers to the BBC being blocked in providing the service for free, thus it remained in the realms of private industry. But it looks like the BBC was given approval ([http://www.culture.gov.uk/creative/digital_curriculum_response.html DCMS BBC's application for Digital Curriculum]), so still not sure what this means.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ***SRU and Lexington Communications (a Labour-connected lobbyist firm started with money from Stevenson, who is a shareholder) got together an anti-BBC alliance to attack their free digital plans.***
| |
| − | source?
| |
| − | <b>Lynn's note</b> - unable to locate Lexington Comms connection. I've added a 'ref needed' to this part of his article. Sources re SRU founding/funding are below, but it looks like the article is referring to Lexington rather than SRU in this context.

(Sunday Times 20/10/96)***<b>Lynn's note</b> added source from the original refs section, source is no longer available to double check content.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I applaud giving refs like this in the body text, but do we get a 'go-to' ref as well, so that people can consult it online? This is probably what you meant, David, by putting in refs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ***Indeed their connections go right back to the British Youth Council.***
| |
| − | source? <b>Lynn's note</b> unable to locate source, nothing in the info sent and a quick google search didn't come up with anything. It may be that it was also mentioned in the Sunday Times article which is no longer available but I can't be sure.

There’s still a bit of work to do here. It won’t be concise, there’s likely to be some who fall through the net, but I don’t want to become too occupied chasing categories (we can always add the others as we come across them). I just need to followthe links on [[International Policy Network]], [[Tech Central Station]] and the [[Heartland Institute]] pages then this should be finished.
