  • The Argument of the Broken Pane', Suffragette Consumerism And
    1 TITLE PAGE ‘The Argument of the Broken Pane’, Suffragette Consumerism and Newspapers by Jane Chapman, Professor of Communications, Lincoln University School of Journalism, Campus Way, Lincoln LN6 7TS, tel. 01522 886963, email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Within the cutthroat world of newspapers advertising the newspapers of Britain’s Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) Votes for Women and The Suffragette managed to achieve a balance that has often proved to be an impossible challenge for social movement press – namely the maintenance of a highly political stance whilst simultaneously exploiting the market system with advertising and merchandising. When the militant papers advocated window smashing of West End stores in 1912 - 13, the companies who were the target still took advertisements. Why? What was the relationship between news values, militant violence, and advertising income? ‘Do-it-yourself’ journalism operated within a context of ethical consumerism and promotionally orientated militancy. This resulted in newspaper connections between politics, commerce and a distinct market profile, evident in the customization of advertising, retailer dialogue with militants, and longer-term loyalty – symptomatic of a wider trend towards newspaper commercialism during this period. Keywords: suffragettes, Votes for Women, The Suffragette, window smashing, advertisers, ethical consumerism, WSPU. Main text Advertisers ‘judge the character of the reader by the character of the periodical’ (George French, Advertising: the Social and Economic Problem, 1915) ‘The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable argument in modern politics’ (Emmeline Pankhurst, Votes for Women, 23 Feb.1912). Introduction and contexts One of the great achievements of the many and various activist women’s groups in Britain was their ability – despite, or more likely because of the movement’s diversity – to maintain a high, if fluctuating, public profile for a sustained period in history.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913
    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913 The arrival of the Tenth Cavalry sent Burlington into demographic shock. Almost overnight the small city acquired a substantial black community, a situation that clearly dismayed many residents. By David Work n July 1909, the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, one of four regular army black regiments collectively known as the Buffalo ISoldiers, arrived in Burlington, Vermont, to begin a four-year tour of duty at Fort Ethan Allen in neighboring Colchester. Their arrival alarmed the almost exclusively white population. Many people feared the presence of sizable numbers of African American soldiers in their community and a bitter debate ensued over whether the city should adopt Jim Crow facilities. For the next four years, the Tenth Cavalry would encounter similar reactions as it traveled throughout the north- east and as far south as Winchester, Virginia. Wherever they went, the black soldiers faced fear and suspicion and had to demonstrate good behavior to win the acceptance of the white population. Created in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry achieved its greatest fame in the late nineteenth century on the western frontier and then served with distinction during the Spanish-American War. In that conflict, the regi- ment charged up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won public renown as the “fighting Tenth Cavalry.” In the early twentieth century, the Tenth fought in the Philippine War, served in ..................... DAVID WORK earned his Ph.D. in American history in May 2004 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He is currently teaching at Texas A&M Uni- versity in Doha, Qatar.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

  • The Titanic in April 1912, a Very Special Ship Was Launched
    Name: Purple A Class: Date: The Titanic In April 1912, a very special ship was launched. The Titanic was the largest ship ever built. Inside, it looked like a beautiful hotel. Some people called it a ‘floating palace’. The owners of the Titanic said it was the safest ship in the world. 1 Why do you think people said the Titanic was a ‘floating palace’? Tick one box. Because it was made of gold Because it looked very beautiful and expensive 1 Because it always stayed afloat 2 Find and copy two things that made the Titanic very special. 2 Everyone thought the Titanic was safe. The Titanic had a ‘double hull’, which meant that the outside of the ship was made in two layers. If one layer got damaged, the second layer would still keep out the water. The Titanic’s first journey was from Southampton, England, to New York, USA, across the Atlantic Ocean. At first, everything went well. But just a few nights after the ship left England, disaster struck! 3 Explain how the Titanic’s ‘double hull’ was meant to make it safe. 1 4 Where was the Titanic going on its first journey? Tick one box. Southampton Atlanta New York 1 2 Even though the sea was calm, the Titanic hit a huge iceberg. The ship sank very quickly, in deep water. There were over 2000 people on board, and more than 1500 of them lost their lives. But why exactly did the ship sink? For more than 70 years, people searched for the ship.
