    Mass Circulation Periodicals and the Harmsworth Legacy in the British Popular Magazine Industry Howard Cox University of Worcester Paper prepared for the European Business History Association Annual Conference, Bergen, Norway, 21-23 August 2008. This is a working draft and should not be cited without first obtaining the consent of the author. Professor Howard Cox Worcester Business School University of Worcester Henwick Grove Worcester WR2 6AJ UK Tel: +44 (0)1905 855400 e-mail: [email protected] 1 Mass Circulation Periodicals and the Harmsworth Legacy in the British Popular Magazine Industry Howard Cox University of Worcester Introduction This paper reviews some of the main developments in Britain’s popular magazine industry between the early 1880s and the mid 1960s. The role of the main protagonists is outlined, including the firms developed by George Newnes, Arthur Pearson, Edward Hulton, William and Gomer Berry, William Odhams and Roy Thomson. Particular emphasis is given to the activities of three members of the Harmsworth dynasty, of whom it could be said played the leading role in developing the general character of the industry during this period. In 1890s Alfred Harmsworth and his brother Harold, later Lord Northcliffe and Lord Rothermere respectively, created a publishing empire which they consolidated in 1902 through the formation of the £1.3 million Amalgamated Press (Dilnot, 1925: 35). During the course of the first half of the twentieth century, Amalgamated Press held the position of Britain’s leading popular magazine publisher, although the company itself was sold by Harold Harmsworth in 1926 to the Berry brothers in order to help pay the death duties on Alfred Harmsworth’s estate.

  • Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: the Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63
    Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: The Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63 Howard Cox and Simon Mowatt Britain’s newspaper and magazine publishing business did not fare particularly well during the 1950s. With leading newspaper proprietors placing their desire for political influence above that of financial performance, and with working practices in Fleet Street becoming virtually ungovernable, it was little surprise to find many leading periodical publishers on the verge of bankruptcy by the decade’s end. A notable exception to this general picture of financial mismanagement was provided by the chain of enterprises controlled by Roy Thomson. Having first established a base in Scotland in 1953 through the acquisition of the Scotsman newspaper publishing group, the Canadian entrepreneur brought a new commercial attitude and business strategy to bear on Britain’s periodical publishing industry. Using profits generated by a string of successful media activities, in 1959 Thomson bought a place in Fleet Street through the acquisition of Lord Kemsley’s chain of newspapers, which included the prestigious Sunday Times. Early in 1961 Thomson came to an agreement with Christopher Chancellor, the recently appointed chief executive of Odhams Press, to merge their two publishing groups and thereby create a major new force in the British newspaper and magazine publishing industry. The deal was never consummated however. Within days of publicly announcing the merger, Odhams found its shareholders being seduced by an improved offer from Cecil King, Chairman of Daily Mirror Newspapers, Ltd., which they duly accepted. The Mirror’s acquisition of Odhams was deeply controversial, mainly because it brought under common ownership the two left-leaning British popular newspapers, the Mirror and the Herald.

Recent years have seen a rise in humour involving gross bodily functions, especially flatulence which would have been taboo in children's comics prior to the swhile depictions of corporal punishment have declined. For example, the literal slipper — the most common form of chastisement for characters such as Dennis, Minnie the Minx and Roger the Dodger — has become the name of the local chief of police Sergeant Slipper.

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.

  • 465 Chapter Nineteen Woman Appeal. a New Rhetoric of Consumption: Women's Domestic Magazines in the 1920S and 1930S Fiona Hack
    Chapter Nineteen Woman Appeal. A New Rhetoric of Consumption: Women’s Domestic Magazines in the 1920s and 1930s Fiona Hackney When in 1926 two brothers from South Wales, William and Gomer Berry, struck a deal to acquire the entire business of the Amalgamated Press (AP), they took on the mantle of ‘Britain’s leading magazine publishing business,’ after the untimely death of AP owner and press magnate, Alfred Harmsworth (Lord Northcliffe) (Cox and Mowatt 2014: 60–3). The continued importance of magazines aimed at the female reader for the Berry’s empire was emphasised by William in his first speech as chairman, and in the coming years a host of new titles including Woman and Home, Woman’s Journal, Woman’s Companion, Wife and Home, Woman and Beauty and Home Journal were added to established staples such as Home Chat, Women’s Pictorial, Woman’s World and Woman’s Weekly. The launch of over fifty titles by AP and its rivals Newnes and Pearson, and Odhams Press, put women and their magazines at the forefront of popular publishing in the interwar years. By the end of the 1930s Odhams Press, under the direction of its dynamic managing director Julias Elias (Lord Southwood), had usurped the AP’s position with its innovative publication Woman, which brought the visual appeal of good quality colour printing to a tuppeny weekly, something that previously had only been available in expensive, high-class magazines. The interwar years witnessed expansion and consolidation, struggle and innovation as these publishing giants competed to command the lucrative market for women’s magazines.

  • Odhams (Watford) Ltd (1935-1983)
    ODHAMS (WATFORD) LTD (1935-1983) Odhams (Watford) Ltd. was a pioneering printing company, established in 1935, situated in North Watford on the site where ASDA is currently located. When building started there in 1935, the area was mainly fields, and the coming of Odhams transformed not only the site, but also the neighbourhood, as houses, shops and schools were built to serve the expanding workforce.1 Little more than 20 years after arriving in Watford, Odhams was described as “one of the largest and most modern photogravure factories in the world, standing as it does on a 17½ acre site and employing nearly 2,500 work people”.2 It was established primarily to undertake high-speed colour photogravure printing of magazines, but it also had letterpress machines, which printed trade publications, magazines, catalogues, and books, published by its parent company, Odhams Press, as well as other publishers.3 Odhams (Watford) Ltd. was a subsidiary company of Odhams Press Ltd., and its story must begin with that of its parent company. ODHAMS PRIOR TO 1935 The founder of Odhams was William Odhams, who was born about 1812 in Sherborne, Dorset. He came to London in his 20s and worked as a compositor at the ‘Morning Post’. He started up in business about 1847, initially in partnership with a fellow compositor at the ‘Morning Post’, William Biggar.4 In 1847, the business obtained the contract for printing the ‘Guardian’, an ecclesiastical paper, which it held for over 75 years.5 The printing premises were originally at Beaufort Buildings, Savoy, and then moved to Burleigh Street.6 Other papers printed at Burleigh Street were the ‘Railway Times’, the ‘Investors’ Guardian’, and the ‘County Council Times’.7 In 1892, William Odhams sold the business, ‘William Odhams’, to his sons, William James Baird Odhams, and John Lynch Odhams.
