As I stepped out of the lift on Canary Wharf’s 21st floor, I was greeted by the Sky News headline “death of print?” on the breaking story that the Independent will cease publishing next month. It was ironic that I then spent the next two hours hearing the RETAIL NEWSAGENT NEWS ● CONVENIENCE ● PROFIT complete opposite. Alison told me how she is taking a risk and breaking newspaper conventions held for hundreds of years in an attempt to win back lapsed readers in the category. Only time will tell One quote I’ve heard several times in the past few days is “you if the launch is a can’t keep doing the same thing but expect different results”.

The Mirror Group is backing her and putting independent retail- ers at the heart of its strategy for doing so, including paying you to distribute two million free copies on Monday’s launch day. Your challenge is if every store can get five lapsed newspaper readers to buy a copy once the price rises to 50p in two weeks’ time, it will be worth an extra £6m in retail profit margin. Only time will tell if the launch is a success but most retail- CHRIS GAMM Editor ers I’ve spoken to are positive and up for the challenge. Belvedere @ChrisGammRN retailer Amit Patel told me he’s more sceptical about the future of news.

The Faculty of The Department of History Written Under the Direction of Dr. John Gordon By HEATHER LYNN McQUEEN Richmond, Virginia April 19, 2004 I pledge that I have neither given nor received any unauthorized assistance during the completion ofthis work. Abstract This paper examines how early London coffee houses catered to the intellectual, political, religious and business communities in London, as well as put forward some information regarding what it was about coffee houses that made them "new meeting places" for Londoners. Coffee houses offered places for political debate and progressively modem forms of such debate, "penny university" lessons on all matter of science and the arts, simplicity and sobriety in which independent religious groups could meet, as well as the early development of a private office space. Preface I remember as a child watching my parents pouring themselves mugs of coffee each morning, the smell of the beans filling the kitchen, and since these early sights and smells, the world of coffee has been an intriguing, interesting, exotic, and informational part of my life.

    Alison Phillips Editor, Daily Mirror Media Masters – September 26, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in Canary Wharf, London, and at the offices of the Daily Mirror, joined by their editor in chief, Alison Phillips. Previously in charge of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, she was also launch editor of New Day, the short-lived newspaper, in 2016. She also leads on addressing gender imbalance at Mirror publisher Reach, heading up their Women Together network, and is this year’s Society of Editor’s popular columnist of the year. Alison, thank you for joining me. Hi. Alison, you were appointed in March. It must have been an incredibly proud moment for you, how is it going? It’s going really well, I think. I hope. It’s been a busy few months, because obviously Reach has bought the Express as well, so there have been a lot of issues going on. But in terms of the actual paper at the Mirror, I hope, I feel, that we’re reaching a point of sustained confidence, which is so important for a paper. We’ve had some real success on campaigns, which I think is really our lifeblood. And I think we’re managing to energise the staff, which is absolutely essential for a well-functioning newspaper. Is it more managerial at the moment with the organisational challenges that you’ve been dealing with? Because you must, as the leader of the business, as the editor, you’ve got so many things you could be doing, you’ve got to choose, having to prioritise.

  • Montana Crowds of People Gathered on the Streets on That Fatal Tuesday
    Montana, 11-12, p.1 Montana Crowds of people gathered on the streets on that fatal Tuesday. No one knew where it had come from; no one knew why, but everyone had heard the rumor, and everyone was curious for more information. A panic swept the state as they gossiped nervously. Many people were rifling frantically through Bibles, while others looked at the sky, wondering if a storm was to come. Still others hurriedly ushered their families out of state, hoping to avoid that terrible tragedy to come. No one was working, no one was having fun, no one was sleeping; everyone whispered among themselves, wondering quietly but not daring to speak aloud. It all started the day before, early that morning as the sun went up. John Smith woke up and, very normally, showered, brushed his teeth, shaved and dressed. He just as normally ate breakfast, grabbed a couple of pieces of toast to eat and poured himself a glass of orange juice, and walked out the door towards his newspaper-editing office. He reached his office and found, just as usual, the three newspapers other editors had published in the same city. John spread the newspapers on his desk (still very normally) and smoothed them out to read, but the headline of the first newspaper caused him to choke on his own saliva. He adjusted his glasses and smoothed the paper out to be sure he was reading it correctly. John was not mistaken, however, and he shook his head after reading the article, disturbed, as he hurried out of his office to his secretary.

An analysis of UK newspaper company financial Newspapers; UK media; reports was thus performed to determine whether predictions of future of journalism extinction similar to those made in North America are likewise unfounded and to compare their performance. Results showed more variation than in the U.S. and Canada. Most UK newspapers are still profitable, but not as profitable as before. The Times, historically a loss maker, has moved to profitability in recent years with the introduction of a paywall for its online content.
