Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

    Tennis in and Around Sheffield, 1874-1914

    Tennis in and Around Sheffield, 1874-1914 Andy Lusis Volume two of The History of the City of Sheffield, 1843-1993 includes a chapter on sport and recreation by Patrick Renshaw, which includes only two references to tennis. After informing us that it can be played in parks, he later tries to redeem himself with: “Finally, any writer on sport who failed to mention such local heroes as Roger Taylor, the tennis player who conquered mighty Rod Laver in his prime at Wimbledon in 1970, ... would deserve to be kicked into touch.” Anyone with an interest in tennis history might expect more of a writer with that surname, but he is only following a long tradition of local historians who have failed to appreciate the rich heritage of tennis in Sheffield. It is unlikely that the area around Sheffield has received better treatment. Before starting to redress the balance it is worth looking at the origins of lawn tennis and its arrival in Sheffield. Origins of lawn tennis What was the state of racket games in Britain in the 1870s? Real tennis (as we now call it, but simply called tennis then) was a game difficult to master, restricted to specially built courts mostly at exclusive clubs. Rackets (or racquets) was not much different. There were some expert players and women were very unlikely to take part. Squash rackets was little known at this time. Badminton, although devised earlier from the children’s game of battledore and shuttlecock (a kind of keepie uppie), and developed by army officers in India, was introduced to the public as a new game in 1873 for indoor and outdoor play, and seemed set to become a fashionable pastime.

    The Draft Liverpool Local Plan EXTRACT CITY CENTRE CHAPTER September 2016 liverpool.gov.uk 6 Liverpool City Centre 6 43 6 6 Liverpool City Centre Context 6.1 The purpose of this chapter is to set a vision and objectives for Liverpool City Centre and specific planning policies/ approaches (both area and thematic based) which are unique to the City Centre. The Core Strategy did not include a City Centre Chapter, however policies within some of the thematic based chapters did include City Centre specific policies. Given that the City Council is now developing a Local Plan for the City it was considered appropriate to bring all the policies that are unique to the City Centre into one chapter. However, in all cases development proposals within the City Centre should be considered against all relevant city wide policies as well as specific policies within this chapter. Once adopted, the policies within this chapter will enable planning decisions to take account of city centre priorities and issues. 6.2 Given this is a consultation document, the chapter has not been fully developed. It does include a draft vision and set of draft objectives based on issues identified. The City Centre SIF has informed these. Some policies are more developed than others and for some policy areas the document only highlights issues that may need to be covered by policy.The consultation process will assist in drawing out all the key planning issues that need to be addressed in the City Centre. 6.3 It is intended that this chapter will also include a schedule of proposed City Centre allocations which will be shown on an inset Policies Map.The proposed boundary of the City Centre and Character Areas is shown on Map 1.
