March Madness in High Def

Ryan Lawler notes in his Contentinople blog that CBS's high definition stream of the NCAA men's basketball tournament has been a great success.

CBS Sports reported that traffic to its NCAA March Madness on Demand site on the first day of the tourney increased 56 percent year-over-year, to 2.7 million unique users yesterday from 1.75 million uniques a year ago.


If there is a conclusion to be drawn, I do not think it is that internet video can or should compete with television. In this case, I believe the draw is a combination of the fact that watching television on Thursday afternoon is not an option for people with a day job, and that there are many games going on simultaneously and CBS television does not always cut to the game that the individual user wants to see.

I think the focus should be on the success of delivering a high quality video experience to a large audience, many of whom were at work. This is just another step in the direction of enterprise video becoming an essential element of the workplace experience.

In conversation with Martin Griffiths: How can a divided world address conflict?

In conversation with Martin Griffiths: How can a divided world address conflict? 1 October 2024 — 10:00AM TO 11:00AM Anonymous (not verified) Chatham House and Online

The former United Nations Under-Secretary-General describes how a weakening multilateralism system and dysfunctional political diplomacy can be revitalized by a humanitarian approach.

The international community is failing to stop conflict. Despite efforts by international organisations and state actors to resolve or prevent it from breaking out, wars around the world have left millions of people suffering. Unstable governments and global insecurity are contributing to an age of poly-crisis, compounded by growing inequity and impunity.

How can a divided world work better to prevent and resolve conflict and reduce the suffering of the civilians affected?

Martin Griffiths has spent decades working within the United Nations system and other institutions on conflict resolution and humanitarian action, most recently as Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and the Emergency Relief Coordinator. He worked on peace deals in Indonesia, Spain, Thailand, Myanmar, Darfur, Syria and Yemen and responded to emergencies in Ethiopia, Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, Sudan, Turkiye  and Gaza and elsewhere. In this discussion, he casts his expertise over the biggest challenges in the world today and assess the prospects for international cooperation on conflict resolution in the future.

Key questions to be discussed include:

  • How can a lasting peace be secured in the conflict between Israel and Palestine ?
  • Is the world too fragmented to prevent or resolve conflicts around the world?
  • What role can the United Nations play in today’s geopolitical environment?
  • How can the West and Global South better engage to limit conflict ?

Professor Sir Laurence Martin (1928-2022)

Professor Sir Laurence Martin (1928-2022) News release NCapeling 3 May 2022

Professor Sir Laurence Martin, director of Chatham House from 1991-96, has died aged 93.

Professor Sir Laurence Martin, director of Chatham House from 1991-96.

Professor Sir Laurence Martin was one of the UK’s leading experts on international security with a particular interest in nuclear strategy.

Before joining Chatham House, he was Professor of War Studies at King’s College, London and Vice Chancellor of Newcastle University. He was also appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear as well as holding several distinguished professorships.

His most well-known work was Two-Edged Sword: Armed Forces in the Modern World which was also the subject of the BBC’s Reith Lectures he gave in 1981.

Sir Laurence led Chatham House as the world was entering the post-Cold War era, a time when international relations were in a state of flux which, as he wrote in International Affairs, provided grounds for optimism that ‘the objective conditions exist to eliminate violent and mutually harmful conflict at least between the major powers’.

Professor Martin worked hard to ensure the financial sustainability of the institute following the loss of core funding from the UK government in the 1980s. By modernizing its approach to fundraising, he was able to invest in a much-needed refurbishment of the House, as well as the institute’s first foray onto the internet.

This enabled Chatham House to communicate with new audiences beyond its members, event attendees, and readers of printed reports, The World Today magazine, and International Affairs journal. He paid particular attention to the need for the institute to communicate its ideas to those making policy as well as wider audiences.

In addition to strengthening the institute’s research, he was keen to continue engaging its members in discussions to develop a well- informed understanding of international affairs.

On the 75th anniversary of Chatham House in 1995, he wrote that its role was ’providing the evidence and, above all, encouraging the habit of mind, to facilitate prudent, if possible optimistic, but never utopian judgements about world affairs’. Today’s staff would agree this role remains at the heart of delivering the institute’s mission.
