  • Fea on Morrison, 'John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic'
    H-New-Jersey Fea on Morrison, 'John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic' Review published on Saturday, April 1, 2006 Jeffry H. Morrison. John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic. Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 2005. xviii + 220 pp. $22.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-268-03485-6. Reviewed by John Fea (Department of History, Messiah College) Published on H-New-Jersey (April, 2006) The Forgotten Founding Father? Americans love their "founding fathers." As most academics continue to write books that address questions related to race, class, and gender in early America, popular historians and writers (and even a few rebellious academics such as Joseph Ellis or H.W. Brands) make their way onto bestseller lists with biographies of the dead white men who were major players in America's revolutionary struggle. These include David McCullough on John Adams, Ronald Chernow on Alexander Hamilton, Ellis on George Washington, and a host of Benjamin Franklin biographies (recent works by Walter Isaacson, Edmund Morgan, Gordon Wood, Brands, and Stacy Schiff come to mind) written to coincide with the tercentenary of his birth. One of the so-called founding fathers yet to receive a recent full-length biography is John Witherspoon, the president of the College of New Jersey at Princeton during the American Revolution and the only colonial clergyman to sign the Declaration of Independence.[1] Witherspoon was a prominent evangelical Presbyterian minister in Scotland before becoming the sixth president of Princeton in 1768. Upon his arrival, he transformed a college designed predominantly to train clergymen into a school that would equip the leaders of a revolutionary generation.

  • On the Application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 15.07.1996 COM(96)302 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT on the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television without Frontiers" EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the second monitoring report on the implementation of Article 4 (European works) and Article 5 (independently produced European works) of the 1989 "Television without Frontiers" Directive. It covers the years 1993 and 1994. As with the previous report, it is based on national reports provided by each Member State as regards the broadcasters under its jurisdiction. The conclusions of the report are as follows: * There is a marked improvement in the quality of reporting by Member States. A number of methological difficulties have been ironed out as compared to the previous period. * In quantitative terms, the data is comprehensive. * The report confirms that all Member States have transposed Articles 4 and 5, although the flexible wording of these provisions has resulted.in differing levels of effectiveness and in variations as regards the basis on which they are applied. * The number of channels surveyed was 148 (105 in 1992). Of these, 91 broadcast a majority proportion of European works in 1994 (as compared to 70 channels doing so in 1992). Moreover, in almost all Member States, the majority of mainstream terrestrial broadcasters (which account for by far the largest share of the audience) achieved, or exceeded by a considerable margin, the majority proportion. There was only a limited number of exceptions and in most of these cases the proportion remained close to 50%.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2017 269 John Witherspoon’s American Revolution Gideon Mailer Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, 2017 440 pages $45.00 ISBN: 978-1469628189 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i2.92 On December 7, 1776, a British army brigade entered Nassau Hall, the primary building on the campus of the College of New Jersey at Princeton, and used it as a barracks and horse stable. The troops occupied this building, one of the largest in British colonial America, until George Washington’s Continental Army arrived on January 3, 1777 and drove them out of town at the Battle of Princeton. One British officer stationed in Nassau Hall would later write, “Our army when we lay there spoiled and plundered a good Library….” The damaged library belonged to Reverend John Witherspoon, the president of the college, who had fled Princeton for his own protection shortly before the arrival of British soldiers. Earlier in 1776, John Witherspoon sat in the Pennsylvania State House as a member of the New Jersey delegation to the Continental Congress. We know that he played a major role in Congress, but the destruction of his papers have prevented historians from writing the kinds of magisterial biographies of him like those published on George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, or Thomas Jefferson. Historians do have, however, Witherspoon’s extensive published writings, allowing them to explore the depths of his religious and political thought. This is the approach that Gideon Mailer has taken in his new biography John Witherspoon’s American Revolution.
