#JasonArday phoned me a few days ago to talk to someone who knows what media abuse feels like. His untimely death shows why we need part 2 of the Leveson enquiry into media conduct

The relentless British press pile-on should concern us all. Jason Arday and Meghan show how dangerous media hysteria can become. Thank God Harry protected Meghan and Archie. #JasonArday #MeghanMarkle

Disappointing to see academics at Brunel university don’t understand what Academic Freedom means.

Professor #JasonArday did it right by going to @goodlawproject.org to be heard in the midst of all the misinformation swirling around that soul. 🙏

![Text of an email (part 2)
Poor research on Jason Arday
----
'... I have not seen a single newspaper that claimed these marathons were a lie publish anything correcting those claims. Even yesterday, the BBC wrote: “Questions were also asked about Arday’s claims that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days, and 300 miles in three days for charity” in their piece about [Nathan] Cofnas resigning.'
-----
'We’ve covered three important media-literacy points in this piece:
'A respectable newspaper using an anonymous Reddit comment as the basis for a headline and story which they paid to push across social media, as part of an excessive campaign of articles focussed on one man, long after he resigned.
'A media narrative stripping a very real life-time achievement from a man, saying there was no evidence to back up his claim of running 30 marathons in 35 days, when that evidence was publicly available all along.
'A claim he never made being used as proof that he was a serial liar.'
----
'As I said at the start, I am only covering things I have evidence for. And I am not suggesting that he didn’t exaggerate, embellish or even lie about other things. He may well have done, but that did not warrant the coverage he received in the weeks leading up to his death.'
The fight for truth is on, as someone once said.

One Black professor was accused of plagiarism, & the British media seized on it as an opportunity to make sweeping generalisations abt the competence of Black scholars in academia.
It’s obvious that Jason Arday’s race played an sig role in the level of media attention his story received.

Curious that while MSM is obsessed with #JasonArday the story of another Cambridge academic has been ignored - despite allegations of safeguarding breaches and overseas donors buying influence.

Professor " #JasonArday worked on topics that are of obvious importance to society. And his work on these topics got attention, far more than most academics, even in his fields. I suspect that this, more than anything, is what made him into such a target." Important reading ⬇️ vital even.
Will there be any accountability? The prob is was both right & left leaning news orgs & they’re circling the wagons. The lack of basic humanity & decency *after* the fact is perhaps what’s most depressing of all.
Anyway, Jason’s piece is here:

Sonia has written and posted obsessively about Jason Arday over the past week or so but would like everyone to stop talking about that please

@matthew-wright.bsky.social The green squares are of people accused of plagiarism and keeping their jobs. The red squares are people accused of plagiarism who lost their jobs. What can the connection be? 🙃 #JasonArday

Would a white professor accused of academic misconduct have faced the same scrutiny?

The glee of these two is nauseating. Vengeance??“The reason that we are both grinning is that we are enjoying vengeance…” David Starkey talking to Nathan Cofnas. What on earth happened to the once respected David Starkey? #JasonArday #r4today
