NUJ Welcomes May's Review of the Press NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE Informedissue 22 March 2018 Trinity Mirror’s decision to extend its digital pilot, Birmingham Live, makes it essential that the major newspaper groups answer questions about the impact their policies will have on the sector. Concerns about the threat to media plurality were raised after Newsquest’s recent takeover of the independent, family-owned CN Group, which owns two regional dailies, five weeklies and magazines. The deal could result in the UK’s local newspaper industry becoming a duopoly of Newquest and Trinity Mirror since Johnston Press’s debts make its viability appear at risk. The NUJ will be calling for the big three news groups, Newsquest, Trinity Mirror and Johnston Press, to be called to account for failing to invest in journalism Newsquest strikers at the Swindon Advertiser and presiding over the loss of hundreds of titles and thousands of journalist and photographer jobs.

  • Scottsih Newspapers Have a Long Hisotry Fof Involvement With
    68th IFLA Council and General Conference August 18-24, 2002 Code Number: 051-127-E Division Number: V Professional Group: Newspapers RT Joint Meeting with: - Meeting Number: 127 Simultaneous Interpretation: - Scottish Newspapers and Scottish National Identity in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries I.G.C. Hutchison University of Stirling Stirling, UK Abstract: Scotland is distinctive within the United Kingdom newspaper industry both because more people read papers and also because Scots overwhelmingly prefer to read home-produced organs. The London ‘national’ press titles have never managed to penetrate and dominate in Scotland to the preponderant extent that they have achieved in provincial England and Wales. This is true both of the market for daily and for Sunday papers. There is also a flourishing Scottish local weekly sector, with proportionately more titles than in England and a very healthy circulation total. Some of the reasons for this difference may be ascribed to the higher levels of education obtaining in Scotland. But the more influential factor is that Scotland has retained distinctive institutions, despite being part of Great Britain for almost exactly three hundred years. The state church, the education system and the law have not been assimilated to any significant amount with their counterparts south of the border. In the nineteenth century in particular, religious disputes in Scotland generated a huge amount of interest. Sport in Scotlaand, too, is emphatically not the same as in England, whether in terms of organisation or in relative popularity. Additionally, the menu of major political issues in Scotland often has been and is quite divergent from England – for instance, the land question and self-government.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • Friend Or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925
    FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925 Mary Mellon A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Jacqueline M. Olich i ABSTRACT MARY MELLON: Friend or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925 (Under the direction of Dr. Louise McReynolds) This thesis focuses on the career of Russian journalist Olga Alekseevna Novikova (1840-1925), a cosmopolitan aristocrat who became famous in England for her relentless advocacy of Pan-Slavism and Russian imperial interests, beginning with the Russo- Turkish War (1877-78). Using newspapers, literary journals, and other published sources, I examine both the nature of Novikova’s contributions to the British press and the way the press reacted to her activism. I argue that Novikova not only played an important role in the production of the discourse on Russia in England, but became an object of that discourse as well. While Novikova pursued her avowed goal of promoting a better understanding between the British and Russian empires, a fascinated British press continually reinterpreted Novikova’s image through varying evaluations of her nationality, gender, sexuality, politics and profession. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925……………….…………...……………………….1 Introduction……………………………………………………………….1 The Genesis of a “Lady Diplomatist”…………………………………...11 Novikova Goes to War…………………………………………………..14 Novikova After 1880…………………………………………………….43 Conclusion……………………………………………………………….59 Epilogue: The Lady Vanishes..………………………………………….60 BIBLIOGRAPHY……………………………………………………………….63 iii The removal of national misunderstandings is a task which often baffles the wisdom of the greatest statesmen, and defies the effort of the most powerful monarchs.

  • Anatomy of Front Pages: Comparison Between the New York Times and Other U.S
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 949–966 1932–8036/20170005 Anatomy of Front Pages: Comparison Between The New York Times and Other U.S. Major Metropolitan Newspapers YUNG SOO KIM1 DEBORAH S. CHUNG University of Kentucky, USA Using content analysis, this article compares the front-page elements of The New York Times with six major metropolitan national newspapers to assess how different news organizations package and present their most important page to the public. Findings reveal that The New York Times featured more international and national news stories, depended more frequently on its own staff for both stories and images, and used smaller headlines on its front pages compared with the other major metropolitan newspapers. Keywords: newspapers, The New York Times, journalism, front pages, page design, news media Newspapers serve a critical function in presenting a selection of the day’s events to their communities, and each day’s news presents a set of perspectives of the most important happenings to their publics (Utt & Pasternack, 2003). Perhaps the most important location to find such representations of society’s most critical events is a newspaper’s front page. The first page of the newspaper is what grabs a reader’s attention, and, thus, editors devote much energy in determining which story elements should be placed on the most prized page of their publication (McQuail, 2010; Singer, 2001). When designing the front page, a complex process is at play. For example, story selection is critical (Reisner, 1992). The most important stories should be featured prominently to entice impulsive buyers. However, stories are not the only features that are presented on the front page.

  • THE PRESS WAR of 1981 George Rosie, Journalist
    THE PRESS WAR OF 1981 George Rosie, Journalist For media watchers in Scotland, 1981 w1l oo down as the year that the Lonrho-backed Sunday Standard dropped like a depth charge into the normally placid waters of the Scottish press. The launch of the Standard,at a time when the Scottish economy was rocky, was a bold and aggressive piece of marketing by the publishers George Outram (who also publish the Glasgow Herald and the Evening Times) and had the effect of knocking out The Scotsman's plans to start their own Sunday paper, and at the same time put a cutting edge on the old ri­ valry between the Glasgow Herald group, and the Edinburgh duo ~ Scotsman and the Evening News. And, as things developed, that rivalry became anything but friend­ ly. It led to a serious haemorrhage of talent out of Edinburgh (and in­ to Glasgow), the first strike in the history of The Scotsman, and end­ ed with traditionally non-militant journalists denouncing their man­ agement as incompetents, whose ham-fisted and penny-pinching policies were • ••.. threatening to end more than 150 years of authoritative and responsible journalism.' In the view of one Scotsman journalist, "It's been a hell of a year so far. We've got ourselves some more money, and everything looks normal on the surface. But I've got a feeling we might have paid a pretty high price for the cash." The catalyst for the brief, but heated, press crisis of 1981 was the advent of the Sunday Standard, subtitled 'The Quality of Scotland' and launched on the back of an expensive advertising campaign on April 26th 1981.
