By undertaking a qualitative case study of London based newspaper, the Guardian, the thesis explores how newspapers started to consider online journalism as not only a new way of doing business, but as a completely new genre of journalism. In 1998, the Guardian was ranked the ninth biggest among twelve national daily newspapers in terms of circulation, but by 2001 its website was the most popular newspaper website in the country. The Guardian’s venture into online journalism began in 1995, when a team of developer known as the New Media Lab was tasked to develop a strategy for online publishing. Over the next few years, several web projects were launched, with varying level of success before pinnacling in a network of websites, Guardian Unlimited in 1999. The increasingly larger focus on the internet as both a tool and platform for publishing, which did not unfold without discontent and critique from advocates of traditional news making, changed the way the Guardian and other newspapers saw their media product and themselves as a company.

  • The Future of Two Festivals
    The Future of Two Festivals By Gerald Pratley Spring 1993 Issue of KINEMA BERLIN 1992 Flying into Berlin is now so very ordinary. No need to worry about wandering out of the narrow corridor over East Germany leading into the divided city; no fear now of being shot down by a watchful MIG; now the Frankfurt-Berlin train can stop where it likes and motorists can leave the autobahn on the way in. The fear and atmosphere of menace have gone. Checkpoint Charlie has gone; Bernard Samson has come out for the last time. No one will get riddled with bullets trying to cross the Wall because the Wall has disappeared. Was it ever there? Hard to believe as the West Berlin double-deckers pass the Brandenburg Gate and drive straight through to Alexanderplatz. A history of forty years has disappeared, to become a tick in time a hundred years hence. Surprisingly many former West Berliners are not too happy about this sudden unexpected turn of events. And why? Because before the reunification West Berlin was their very own tight little island, their own ”land,” independent, generously funded by the West German government a long way away in Bonn and which had no control over it, free to do what it liked under the protection of the three occupying powers, with everyone drawn together by the need to preserve themselves at all cost from an enemy surrounding it on all sides. But now Berlin is just another big sprawling European city in a big country, now Germany’s capital with a government still years away in Bonn, with growing financial and social problems and with two former populations used to different political ways of life finding it extremely difficult to come together under capitalism.

How has the rise of the internet, videogames and TV series influenced appropriations, fan vidding and ghosting effects? How do actors now play with the intertext of their previous Shakespearean roles? This essay explores the twenty-first century afterlives of the flood of UK/US Shakespearean films released in the nineties in the wake of Branagh’s 1989 commercially and critically successful Henry V. 2 As the last century drew to a close, the rush of films (see Plate 1) that were based on or inspired by Shakespeare’s play-texts generated, as Mark Burnett and Ramona Wray observed, “considerable speculation about Shakespeare’s marketability and cinematic appeal”,1 setting Shakespeare as a prominent figure in cinema and in the popular psyche.

  • BBC ONE Spring/Summer 2002 5 Drama
    Drama of Tony Blair, IT and gangsta rap can be strange DRAMA and comfortless, leaving these working-class heroes happy to try their luck at one more job. They cemented their friendships in Germany and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Spain, and this new series takes the “cowboy” builders on an incredible journey from Middlesbrough to Arizona. “The timing seems absolutely right for the return of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet,” says Controller of Drama Commissioning, Jane Tranter. “The fact that all the original team have embraced it so enthusiastically demonstrates the power that the show still has to excite people. It’s moved on, in spirit and in time, and the maturity of the characters has brought a new edge and humour to the storytelling.” A BBC production for BBC ONE, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is produced by Joy Spink and directed by Paul Seed. The executive producers are Laura Mackie and Franc Roddam. Being April Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, the hit drama of the Eighties, which followed the fortunes of an intrepid band of British brickies, returns to BBC ONE this spring. The production reunites the original cast of Jimmy Nail (Oz), Timothy Spall (Barry), Kevin Whately (Neville), Tim Healy (Dennis), Pat Roach (Bomber), Christopher Fairbank (Moxey) and newcomer Noel Clarke (Wyman), with original writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais and creator Franc Roddam. The last 15 years have been kinder to some of the lads than others. One drives a Bentley, another a taxi. Marriages have come and gone. But when Oz turns up with an irresistible offer, the “Magnificent Seven” find that the friendships they made on the road to Düsseldorf Three kids.
