News Department

The News Department of the Foreign Office is responsible for managing news about British foreign policy in the UK as opposed to managing news overseas or dealing with policy questions and public diplomacy which are the responsibility of departments such as the Public Diplomacy Policy Department.
==Lies and power==
John Pilger relates his experience of the News Department:
:Mark Higson was the Iraq desk officer at the Foreign Office in 1989 when the British government was still giving Saddam Hussein almost anything he wanted, secretly and illegally, a year before Iraq invaded Kuwait. Higson, who resigned in protest, was one of the few British officials commended by the Scott inquiry into the arms-to-Iraq scandal. He described "a culture of lying" at the Foreign Office.
::"The draft letters I wrote for various ministers," he later told me, "were saying that nothing had changed, the embargo on the sale of arms to Iraq was the same."
::"Was that true?" I asked.
::"No, it wasn't true . . ."
::"And your superiors knew it wasn't true?"
::"Yes. If I was writing a draft reply for a minister, replying to a letter from an MP, I wrote the agreed line. I also wrote replies to go to members of the public. The letters were awfully polite. But we were all quite well aware that nothing had changed: that Jordan was being used [to get arms to Iraq]."
::"So how much truth did the public get?"
::"The public got as much truth as we could squeeze out, given that we told downright lies . . ."
:I went to the Foreign Office that same year, 1989, to interview Lord Brabazon, a junior minister. The subject was Cambodia. The Thatcher government was then supporting the Khmer Rouge-led coalition and the SAS was secretly providing training in mine- laying. Like its part in the arms-to-Iraq scandal, the Foreign Office was lying about it. (Two years later, the Major government owned up.)
:I was met by a minder from the news department, Ian Whitehead, who took me aside, as he was no doubt used to doing with journalists, and told me to "go easy" on the minister. With the interview under way, he began shouting that I had departed from the "agreed line of questioning". No "line" had been agreed. These days, the style is less obtuse, but the aim is the same. Senior broadcasters and commentators pop in to the Foreign Office without any material favours expected; for them, the flattery and "access" are enough. Thus, much of the world is represented in terms of its usefulness to western "interests".

Newswatch

Newswatch (officially Newswatch UK Ltd) is a right-wing media monitoring company. It was incorporated on 6 September 2007 and is co-owned and directed by the right-wing activist David Keighley and a managing consultant called Barclay Thompson. Companies House, Newswatch UK Ltd Annual Returns, made up to 6 September 2008 It went out of business in 2009 but was subsequently resurrected.
Shortly after Newswatch was founded, its Managing Director Barclay Thompson was quoted by the Guardian's Roy Greenslade as saying: 'Today's media has enjoyed an easy ride, and thinks it can get away with murder. But, from now on, it will have to think twice.' Roy Greenslade, 'Media bias is in the eye of the beholder', Guardian Media Blog, 10 October 2007 According to Greenslade:
[Keighley] argues that the complaints procedures of the various media regulators - the BBC Trustees, Ofcom and the Press Complaints Commission - are "rather gruelling". Instead, he is urging businesses and institutions that want to "fight back" to use his new outfit. (He doesn't say how much he will charge for his services).What he does say is that Newswatch will "use a range of robust analytical tools to study the British broadcast media. Our methodology is firmly based on established academic principles utilising core quantitative and qualitative research techniques." Roy Greenslade, 'Media bias is in the eye of the beholder', Guardian Media Blog, 10 October 2007
Newswatch was the successor of Minotaur Media Tracking which David Keighley co-owned with 
Kathy Gyngell, a former TV-am producer and the wife of Keighley’s former boss and close friend Bruce Gyngell. ‘Former TV-am boss dies’, BBC News Online, 8 September, 2000 Kathy Gyngell is listed as one of four team members on the Newswatch's website along with Keighley, Barclay Thompson and the company’s main researcher Andrew Jubb. Newswatch, The Team [Accessed 14 January 2009]
Newswatch's predecessor Minotaur Media Tracking produced a number of reports for the Eurosceptic think-tank Global Britain and the Centre for Policy Studies. The great majority of these reports alleged a bias in favour of EU integration in the UK media (particularly the BBC) and several alleged a broader bias against right-wing politics and the Conservative Party.
The company filed an application for striking-off on 2 September 2009 and was dissolved on 29 December that year. Companies House, Newswatch UK Ltd Company Filing History [Accessed 14 January 2009]
==Funding==
 In 2013 Newswatch was still functioning: according to filings at the Charity Commission it was given £40,000 by the conservative foundation the Institute for Policy Research.Institute for Policy Research Annual Return 2013. Data from the Charity Commission.
In October 2017 Newswatch published a pro-Brexit report but claimed it was independent of the Brexit lobby. However its website was soliciting donations to be paid to Leave.EU.

Newton S. Miler

Newton S. Miler was a senior CIA counterintelligence officer until his retirement in December 1974. At the inaugural meeting of the Consortium for the Study of Intelligence in April 1979, presented an essay on counterintelligence which argued, in Roy Godson's summary, that "counterintelligence in the US is generally misunderstood, organizationally fragmented, hemmed in by legal and other restrictions, and- in sum - inadequate to deal with the threats of hostile espionage, covert action, terrorism and sabotage that face the nation."Roy Godson, ed., Intelligence requirements for the 1980s: Elements of Intelligence, National Strategy Information Center, 1983, p.14.

Nexium

==Background==
Nexium (esomeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for the treatment of acid-related diseases, such as peptic ulcers and gastresophageal reflux disease (GERD) or heartburn. AstraZeneca. Research: Gastrointestinal. Accessed on the 13 May 2009. It is manufactured by AstraZeneca.
==PR Strategies==
Fleishman-Hillard launched a 'community-based patient-education program' to promote Nexium (also known as the 'Little Purple Pill') in 2001. The PR firm partnered with Minor League Baseball; the Coalition for Healthier Cities and Communities (CHCC); and used baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and Nexium user Jim Palmer as their ambassador to travel to baseball parks across America. The aim was to reach undiagnosed 'GERD sufferers' and urge them to seek help from their doctors. The campaign led to around 100,000 doctor visits.Fleishman Hillard. Global Reach. Targeted Execution.
