Measuring the visibility of health scare studies in the UK media
Posted By rich,

Sometimes you catch glimpse of one too many similar news stories within a fairly small subject area, and think that behind the scenes there must be some blanket policy to push through everything and anything that’s relevant with little regard for contradiction or accuracy.
Health is an important topic to most individuals, a fact known and seized upon by the popular media. Consumers are obsessed with thinking they know what is good for them and what will cause them harm, because that of course is the secret to why we’re living so long, and why we take such good care of ourselves. Being able to opine “you shouldn’t do that, it’s bad for you” is part of the know-it-all’s core skillset. But where do these speculations typically come from?
The Relevance of an Holistic Approach to Web Strategies

The web is a complex environment. Complexity originates from specialisation, differentiation and integration.
Adam Smith, in his The Wealth of Nations, maintains that the Industrial Revolution has brought with it a process of specialisation of labour, by progressively differentiating roles within work processes. This course is responsible for positive impacts in the overall levels of efficiencies of work. Smith takes the example of a pin, showing how it requires ten different persons to efficiently produce it.
The same process involves our digital society, whose accelerated evolution behind the growth of technology brings a ‘structural differentiation’. Society, on the web, acts as a human organism, dynamically selecting, creating and evolving to satisfy emerging social needs. This process brings high levels of specialization of the body ‘organs’.

The Sun Newspaper hacked and redirected to LulzSec

The Sun Newspaper hacked. TheSun.co.uk owned by News International and Rupert Murdoch has been hacked and is now redirecting to the Twitter feed of a Lulzsec – twitter.com/lulzsec
Lulsec claims to be: Lulz Security® (LulzSec), the world’s leaders in high-quality entertainment at your expense.
And at time of writing Lulsec had 297,000 followers on Twitter.
In his most recent post Lulsec states clearly that he is having fun hijacking and hacking The Sun website:
“We have Joy we have fun we have messed up Murdoch’s Sun”
Others, such as @thatguynamedtom have tweeted that they find this “Hilarious”.
With all the media saga going on for News Corp, it now looks like The Sun is being targeted by more independent groups.
The hacker group has recently attacked several high-profile websites on companies such as Sony and Nintendo. However, it did say it was disbanding, but has obviously come back for one more foray.
