  • Wapping-Gate Exposes Serious Questions About the Ethics of UK Journalism and the Collusion of Media, Politics and Security Forces
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/07/27/ethics-journalism/ Wapping-gate exposes serious questions about the ethics of UK journalism and the collusion of media, politics and security forces A broad debate is needed about ethics in journalism and how to enforce them without impeding on press freedom when it comes to matters of genuine public interest, writes Bart Cammaerts. There is a long standing tradition in this country (as in many others) that if you want to remove something from the public debate because it is too controversial or damaging and there is an urgent need to move on, you announce an all-encompassing independent inquiry preferably broad in scope which will self-evidently need ample time, resources and a more sober, rational, atmosphere to come to any kind of conclusions. Wapping-gate is no different; at least three parallel processes have been put in motion to come to terms with all that happened – or rather did not happen. However, despite the efforts of several actors in this ever- evolving scandal to try and put a lid on it, they failed miserably. “The worst is still to come”, Rebekah Brooks told the flabbergasted journalists at News of the World after the decision to close down the Sunday newspaper. One wonders how much worse it can get? The one chasing the scandals has become the scandal, but one of a much bigger proportion than any scandal it ever reported itself. For many political observers this was a scandal waiting to happen, surprising really that it took so long.

  • Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London
    Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London Compiled January 2020 Whitechapel Bell Foundry: a matter of national importance This fact book has been compiled to capture the breadth of the campaign to save the site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, which is currently threatened by a proposal for conversion into a boutique hotel. Re-Form Heritage; Factum Foundation; numerous community, heritage and bellringing organisations; and thousands of individuals have contributed to and driven this campaign, which is working to: reinstate modern and sustainable foundry activity on the site preserve and record heritage skills integrate new technologies with traditional foundry techniques maintain and build pride in Whitechapel’s bell founding heritage The site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain’s oldest single-purpose industrial building where for generations bells such as Big Ben, the Liberty Bell, Bow Bells and many of the world’s great bells were made. Bells made in Whitechapel have become the voices of nations, marking the world’s celebrations and sorrows and representing principles of emancipation, freedom of expression and justice. As such these buildings and the uses that have for centuries gone on within them represent some of the most important intangible cultural heritage and are therefore of international significance. Once the use of the site as a foundry has gone it has gone forever. The potential impact of this loss has led to considerable concern and opposition being expressed on an unprecedented scale within the local area, nationally and, indeed, internationally. People from across the local community, London and the world have voiced their strong opposition to the developer’s plans and to the hotel use and wish for the foundry use to be retained.

  • The BBC and Henry VIII's Heirs
    The BBC and Henry VIII’s Heirs Richard Danbury 2020-11-13T17:21:17 Once again, the BBC is under pressure. Once again, the British Government is briefing hostile newspapers about how both it, and its sister public service broadcaster, Channel 4, are in the firing line. Once again, dark clouds gather over its future, which has been called into question. The licence fee, the hypothecated tax that provides the corporation with its revenue, has been under threat in the past, but this time, it’s proved the lightning rod for more dissent, with a citizen’s campaign to defund the BBC. How did we get here? Where should we go? Where will we go? Where we were One way of looking forward is to look back. Specifically, to 1528. That does sound like an extravagant claim but bear with me. 1528 was the date when the English authorities – then in the figure of King Henry VIII and his Council in Star Chamber – started to regulate the English printing trade. But he wasn’t breaking new ground in regulating the flow of information. Many years before even Henry, the doctrine of scandalum magnatum was developed, which made illegal ‘disgraceful words against eminent persons’. Indeed, the 1275 Statute of Westminster, which introduced the offence, railed against what it called ‘false news’ centuries before Donald Trump. It did not matter – and I’ll come back to this – that what you were saying was true. The greater the truth, they said, the greater the libel, on the grounds that true words were more likely to sow dissent, and so more likely to be harmful to the King’s Peace.

  • Hugh Cudlipp Lecture
    Thank you very much for inviting me to deliver the Cudlipp Lecture and so follow in the footsteps of some first rate media figures. Not to mention Paul Dacre. I believe I am the first Cudlipp Lecturer to have won the Cudlipp Award, 24 years ago. I do not attach too much significance to winning as the main judge was Robert Maxwell and I won it for coverage of his mercy missions to save the starving in Ethiopia. It was quite a trip. As for the highlight – it’s hard to choose between these three; when he demanded a personal butler on arrival and was told by the manager of the Addis Hilton that there was something of a shortage of butlers during the famine; the hour long meeting it took to persuade him not to come to the famine stations with us, on the grounds that pictures of Captain Bob amid the starving might not be terribly good for his image; or the day he left for home early, with a note telling us "my work here is done. I have gone home to resolve the miners' strike." Mike Molloy, my first editor at the Mirror, delivered a great line when Hugh Cudlipp died ten years ago. “His heyday was his entire career." Of modern media figures of whom that might be said, like him or not, consider his influence good or bad, or both, Rupert Murdoch is the one who springs to mind, and stays there. Cudlipp was a name to inspire, his legend born not merely in Mirror sales figures of five million, but in the standards he expected.

Indeed, they do it so much better than real life, which is why we read them. Elizabeth Kent uncredited. The crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land. Whicher finds the missing child at a refuge for fallen women run by Roman Catholic nuns which had taken her in. Before leaving, she had gone into the same outdoor privy to change into a boy's clothes, cropping her hair at the same time. When Whicher offers to help a country lady find her niece, he's drawn into a disturbing case of murder which brings him up against wealthy and powerful figures and throws him into conflict with his Murders were supposed to happen on the desperate streets of London, not in the bedrooms of well-tended rural children.

Stephen and an opportunistic thief are the main murder suspects but Stephen convinces Whicher that he was the intended victim as he was about to hear important news from his grandfather Joshua,now in an insane asylum.
