This book offers an introduction to the key legal and ethical topics confronting Australian journalists and strategic communicators both at home and internationally and offers a suite of reflective techniques for navigating them. It starts by positioning morals, ethics, and the law in their historical and philosophical frameworks by tracing the evolution of free expression and professional media ethics. Media law and ethics are then contextualized in their modern international human rights framework. Readers are equipped with a skill set for reflecting on the law and ethics of professional media dilemmas - including mindful reflection, the Potter Box, journaling, concept mapping, and discussion. Such approaches are then applied to key topic areas, including free expression; reputation; confidentiality; privacy; justice; intellectual property; national security; discrimination and harassment; and conflicted interests. Each is examined in terms of its philosophical underpinnings, relationship to human rights, professional ethical context, international examples, legal principles, key Australian laws, legal cases, and strategies for applying reflective practice techniques. It concludes on a confident note - imploring communicators to engage in constructive and mindful strategic communication with the authority and confidence that results from a working knowledge of media law and ethics. This handbook is for professional communicators and students in all fields, but particularly in journalism, public relations, corporate communication, media relations, and marketing.

"90 seconds to midnight" is the first book in a series of novels. The Prologue sets the scene at 24 January 2023, when the Science and Security Board (SSB) of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) adjusted the Doomsday Clock to "90 seconds to midnight" its closest it had ever been to a predicted global catastrophe, since its inception in 1947. Midnight is the predicted time of Doomsday: annihilation of the planet. The main protagonist is Joe Clifford, who graduated in 2017 with a BSC Economics (Honours) from The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London. He had been headhunted in his last year at university by a recruiter from MI5, the UK''s Security Service, under a graduate induction program. "90 seconds to midnight" chronicles his induction and initial training at MI5 and his first post as an internal intelligence officer. He is fast tracked after three months and undergoes extensive training in preparation for his detachment as an active field agent in the Counter-Espionage division of MI5. The book concludes with his first case as a field agent where he plays an integral part in investigating a perceived Chinese attempt to commit cyber warfare. These books are fictional, although they do at times refer to real life people, places and occurrences, for authenticity.

This study examines the sufficiency of U.S. field artillery doctrine and force structure for the conduct of exploitation and pursuit on the airland battlefield. Focus is primarily upon the operational level of war, although salient tactical lessons are investigated as well. An historical analysis of deep offensive campaigns conducted by the Soviet and American armies of World War II, compared and contrasted with the more recent experience of the Israeli Defense Force during the 1973 MidEast War, offers a synthesis of relevant considerations for exploitations and pursuit from battlefields in the past. Next, the study looks to see whether modern-day planners have applied those historical lessons to current and projected U.S. artillery doctrine and force structure. Then, an assessment is offered on the possible impact of technology upon conclusions drawn from the three historical case studies. The study concludes that field artillery organizations and doctrine of the future must emphasize a systemic approach to deep offensive missions. Recommendations include: joint mission analysis of exploitation and pursuit by field artillery and air force agencies; the establishment of fire support coordination centers and conventional artillery reserves at echelons above corps (EAC); considerations of fire support to be held in reserve until counteroffensive actions are initiated; designation of field artillery organizations to be trained especially for the conduct of deep offensive missions; and reconfiguration of divisional artillery organizations. Finally, the author lists those fire support tasks which appear critical to the successful accompaniment of maneuver forces at operational depths.

In children under the age of five, the majority of unintentional injuries occur in the home, with higher levels of injury morbidity and mortality being found among those from more deprived backgrounds. This paper presents the findings of a systematic review about the effectiveness of programmes in decreasing unintentional injury rates to children (aged up to 15 years) in the home. The effectiveness of the provision of home safety equipment with or without installation, safety education or a home risk assessment is presented by outcome: injury rates, installation of smoke alarms and installation of other home safety equipment.
