  • Orwell's Crystal Chandelier
    Orwell’s Crystal Chandelier – Steve Wadhams May – July 2010 Orwell’s Crystal Chandelier May – July 2010 Steve Wadhams I began the Preface to my book “Remembering Orwell” by noting “with some discomfort that I am an exact contemporary – thirty-nine years old in 1984 – of Winston Smith” and that “I am writing this book on April 4th, the very day on which Smith began his rebellion against Big Brother”. Winston Smith‟s job at the Ministry of Truth was to rewrite history. “Remembering Orwell” was an attempt to preserve it, by presenting more or less verbatim the thoughts and memories of 80 people who knew either George Orwell or Eric Blair – conversations I recorded for my five hour radio documentary; “George Orwell: A radio biography”, which aired across Canada and the USA, on January 1st 1984. Well, twenty five years later I‟m still alive and well and still a full time radio producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. However, most of the people who kindly agreed to be interviewed all those years ago have now passed on. But if I want to bring any one of them back to life and power and thought, restored to their 1983 selves all I have to do is pull out the box that‟s been sitting under my desk all this time, pick any one of the 60 or so cassette tapes which hold the original unedited conversations, put it into the machine and press „play‟. Of course I don't have a recording of Orwell himself because there aren't any, but I see his face every day.

For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Elective and Experiential Affinities: British and American Foreign Correspondents and the Spanish Civil War David Deacon Abstract This article examines the experiences, attitudes and perceptions of British and American correspondents who reported on the Spanish Civil War directly. The analysis shows that the international news net in the war was more extensive and effectively organised in Republican held territories; and that, taken overall, the political sympathies of the international news corps inclined more towards the Republicans. With some journalists, these reflected pre-existing political viewpoints, but in many cases these sympathies were forged through their experiences in Spain. The article concludes with a discussion of the impact these political positions had on journalists’ interpretations of their professional roles and responsibilities. Keywords: Foreign correspondents; international news; Spanish Civil War; propaganda. Introduction There are increasing concerns that standards of foreign correspondence in British and American news media are not what they were. Academic and journalistic sources have identified declining levels of foreign news coverage, decreasing editorial investment in foreign news desks, and, with the advent of new technologies and presentational formats, an emerging news culture that values immediacy over measured analysis (MacGregor, 1997; Fenton,2005; Parks, 2002).

  • Holloway 1 CHAPTER TWO the Flight to France and Concentration Camps
    Holloway 1 CHAPTER TWO The Flight to France and Concentration Camps: The NJC and the Spanish Refugees I fear that with thousands of refugees gathered in such a small space there will be terrible suffering.1 –Richard Rees, Volunteer for the Society of Friends and NJC, January 1939 As Francoist troops reached Barcelona, approximately 500,000 Spanish refugees fled over the Pyrenees to the French border along with National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief (NJC) and other British relief workers who had been working in Barcelona. Of this experience, Dr. Audrey Russell, who had a long history of working with both the Society of Friends and the NJC, stated, ‘From the last few days in Barcelona and the flight to France, I have seen such horrible things that I no longer have the ability to feel. I have become a robot.’2 Instead of remaining behind to provide relief to the hundreds of thousands in Barcelona still without food, clothing and shelter, NJC workers mobilised their efforts, setting up tents beside the road from which to distribute food and provide medical care. As the refugees and aid workers reached the French frontier, the refugees were herded into internment camps – women and children were scattered throughout the country in smaller groups while men were concentrated along the Mediterranean coast. Most humanitarian organisations accepted the war’s end and saw the physical needs of the refugees as their new aim, providing food, shelter and medical supplies. The antifascist stance of the NJC workers, however, allowed them to sympathise, and indeed empathise, with the refugees who could not fathom living under a fascist dictator.
