Look and Learn A History of the Classic Children's Magazine By Steve Holland Text © Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 2006 First published 2006 in PDF form on www.lookandlearn.com by Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 54 Upper Montagu Street, London W1H 1SL 1 Acknowledgments Compiling the history of Look and Learn would have be an impossible task had it not been for the considerable help and assistance of many people, some directly involved in the magazine itself, some lifetime fans of the magazine and its creators. I am extremely grateful to them all for allowing me to draw on their memories to piece together the complex and entertaining story of the various papers covered in this book. First and foremost I must thank the former staff members of Look and Learn and Fleetway Publications (later IPC Magazines) for making themselves available for long and often rambling interviews, including Bob Bartholomew, Keith Chapman, Doug Church, Philip Gorton, Sue Lamb, Stan Macdonald, Leonard Matthews, Roy MacAdorey, Maggie Meade-King, John Melhuish, Mike Moorcock, Gil Page, Colin Parker, Jack Parker, Frank S. Pepper, Noreen Pleavin, John Sanders and Jim Storrie. My thanks also to Oliver Frey, Wilf Hardy, Wendy Meadway, Roger Payne and Clive Uptton, for detailing their artistic exploits on the magazine. Jenny Marlowe, Ronan Morgan, June Vincent and Beryl Vuolo also deserve thanks for their help filling in details that would otherwise have escaped me. David Abbott and Paul Philips, both of IPC Media, Susan Gardner of the Guild of Aviation Artists and Morva White of The Bible Society were all helpful in locating information and contacts. -
The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: an Analysis of Interviews From
Running head: THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication May 2014 By Shawn L. Denevan Thesis Committee: Dr. Arthur Challis, Ed.D, Chair Dr. L. Paul Husselbee, Ph.D Dr. Matthew H. Barton, Ph.D ` THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO ii The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future Shawn Lee Denevan Dr. Arthur Challis, Thesis Supervisor Abstract Speculation regarding the viability of radio's future presents itself whenever a new audio medium is put forward as a possible competitor to radio. From TV, FM radio, CDs, cassettes, Satellite radio and now Internet radio, AM/FM terrestrial radio has been predicted to "die" at the hand of these competitors numerous times since radio's inception. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the way radio operated as a business. Technology has changed the way radio stations program content. The Internet has provided new audio competition for radio. This study examines the role of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, changes in content and programming, and technology that continues to affect the way radio is perceived as a business and as a medium. An analysis of interviews from radio professionals—whose careers in the radio business may span from before the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to the present, and who have the insight and knowledge to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of radio's past and present—suggests that radio has a bright future if radio can return, in portion, to its past programming ideals of being live, local, and relevant to the communities it serves. -
Double Act to the Whole Addyman Family
WINNER OF THE SMARTIES PRIZE AND THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL I'm an only child. I always longed for a sister. I thought it would be particularly marvellous to have a twin sister. Then you need never feel lonely. You'd always have someone to play with, someone to share secrets, someone to walk to school with and whisper to at night. I've always been fascinated by identical twins. It must be so weird looking at another person exactly like yourself. Some twins invent their own language when they're very little and get wrapped up in their own private twin-world. I wanted to write about this. I decided my twins would be particularly close because their mum had died. I like jewel names so I called their mother Opal. I thought she'd call her twin daughters jewel names too. Rubies are red and Garnets are red, often quite hard to tell apart. They seemed perfect names. Rubies are much more expensive than garnets. I thought my Ruby would particularly like that! Ruby was born twenty minutes before Garnet. She says that makes her the boss. She certainly bosses Garnet around! The twins look absolutely identical but they've got very different personalities. Ruby is very bouncy and funny and a terrible show off. She's desperate to be an actress when she grows up. Garnet absolutely detests the idea of acting. She's a very quiet shy girl, imaginative and hard working. I don't think you'd be able to tell the twins apart at the beginning of the day – but you'd have more luck at the end. -
1 Introduction 2 a Proposed Theory and Method for the Incorporation of Comic Books As Primary Sources
Notes 1 Introduction 1. It is common within scholarship to use the term ‘comics’ in reference to both the industry and the medium (encompassing comic books, comic strips, sequential narratives, visual narratives and graphic narratives). Syn- onymous terms have been used mainly to avoid frequent repetition of the word ‘comics’. However, it is acknowledged that ‘comic strips’ generally refer to comics that occur within newspapers while ‘comic books’ tend to be published in pamphlet form, either as anthologies or as one longer narrative. 2. A stance echoed by Carr, who also suggests that history itself is the ‘con- tinuous process of interaction between the historian and his facts’ (1961, 24). 3. For more on children’s comics in relation to the general market pre-Haselden, see Chapman (2011) and Perry and Aldridge (1975). 4. Churchill, W. The Few, House of Commons, 20 August 1940 http://www .winstonchurchill.org/learn/speeches/speeches-of-winston-churchill/1940 -finest-hour/113-the-few, accessed 13 January 2014. 5. There were clearly practical problems for wartime industries everywhere. Hammond and Towheed have pointed out that the price of paper almost doubled in the first two weeks of the First World War; rationing was quick to follow, and yet somehow the trade was expected to cope with an immedi- ate 25 per cent increase in the demand for news. The steady personnel drain made it increasingly difficult to continue ‘business as usual’ (Hammond and Towheed: 2007, 4). 2 A Proposed Theory and Method for the Incorporation of Comic Books as Primary Sources 1. This book focuses on the widening of sources within history. -
