    FLEET STREET LAWYERS’ SOCIETY Please reply to: Times Newspapers Limited, Times House, 1 Pennington Street, London E98 1LG. 13th December 2006 The Rt. Hon. Baroness Ashton, URGENT BY HAND & FAX Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs, Selbourne House, 54-60 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6QW. Dear Cathy, Following the meeting at the Newspaper Society on Monday, I think it is extremely important that you see what the newspapers and broadcasters, which constitute the Fleet Street Lawyers’ Society, have to say about the current government proposals on Freedom of Information. The letter, which follows, has been circulated amongst all the companies listed below and they have approved its content. I hope therefore it will be taken into account at the crucial meeting you are having tomorrow with the DCA Information Rights User Group. We, the Fleet Street Lawyers, are writing to express our very serious concern at the proposals that the DCA has recently published to limit access to information under the Freedom of Information Act. The initial success of the Freedom of Information Act in promoting greater openness by public authorities has been one of this government’s significant achievements. Authorities increasingly recognise that they must respond to the new legislation with greater transparency. However, instead of encouraging, and taking credit for this process the government’s current proposals suggest it wishes to reverse it. Each of the two proposed changes to the FOI Act’s fees regulations would, in our view, severely restrict the media’s use of the Act. The public would be denied information which they need and which the media, which is traditionally referred to as the “eyes and ears of the public” by the Law Lords, should be in a position to provide them with about public authority decision-making.

  • Paper View by Philip Dalling
    Paper View By Philip Dalling The news that Jon Cook of Arena Essex-Lakeside was to be the first of several speedway personalities to be featured on TalkSport during the summer months made me think about the current (and past) media coverage of speedway. The attitude of the 'quality' press to the sport varies considerably. As far as the national papers are concerned, the Daily Telegraph usually carries a paragraph or so about the Grand Prix, while The Guardian (more about that one later) and The Independent will usually mention the Cardiff event. On the downside, The Times even seems to have stopped using results on a regular basis. Regional newspaper coverage appears to me to be still good - fairly recent visits to Coventry and Wolverhampton have both coincided with 'wrap around' special editions of the Evening Telegraph and the Express and Star for matches at Brandon and Monmore respectively, whilst the Plymouth-based Western Morning News has first-class coverage of both the revived Devils and of West Country hero, Cornwall's Chris Harris. My new book (sorry for the plug) on Nottingham and Long Eaton Speedway 1928- 1967 (Tempus) has received excellent coverage from the Nottingham Evening Post and the Derby Evening Telegraph. Returning to the national press, it is interesting to note that in the 'golden age' of the late 1940s, several men who later became top by-lined Fleet Street sports columnists cut their journalistic teeth at least partly on speedway. Names like Desmond Hackett of the Daily Express (writing at a time when the Express sold four million copies a day), and J L Manning of The Daily Mail feature in the pages of the Stenner annuals of the period.

  • Complaint by Mr Christopher Williams About Going Underground Lockdown Edition
    v Issue 425 26 April 2021 Complaint by Mr Christopher Williams about Going Underground Lockdown Edition Type of case Fairness and Privacy Outcome Not Upheld Service RT Date & time 29 July 2020, 09:30 Category Fairness Summary Ofcom has not upheld this complaint about unjust or unfair treatment in the programme as broadcast. Case summary The programme was a discussion and phone-in programme concerning topical issues. During the programme, the presenter interviewed Mr Steve Bell, a political cartoonist for The Guardian newspaper about reports that he had been fired from the publication. Mr Williams complained of unjust or unfair treatment in the programme because it included “false claims of inaccuracy in my reporting” which he said were “damaging to my reputation”. Ofcom found that the programme did not present, disregard or omit material facts in a way that was unjust or unfair to Mr Williams, that he was provided an appropriate and timely opportunity to respond and his response was fairly reflected in the programme. Programme summary On 29 July 2020, RT broadcast an edition of Going Underground Lockdown Edition, a discussion and phone-in programme concerning topical issues. During the programme, the presenter interviewed Mr Bell, a political cartoonist for The Guardian, concerning speculation on social media that he had been fired from the publication after drawing a cartoon that depicted the Home Secretary, Ms Priti Patel, as a bull. During the interview, the following exchange took place between the presenter and Mr Bell: Issue 425 of Ofcom’s Broadcast and On Demand Bulletin 26 April 2021 1 Presenter: “You’ve been sacked from The Guardian, that’s what the big reports have been! 40 years at The Guardian, and now you’re sacked!

  • Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: the Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63
    Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: The Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63 Howard Cox and Simon Mowatt Britain’s newspaper and magazine publishing business did not fare particularly well during the 1950s. With leading newspaper proprietors placing their desire for political influence above that of financial performance, and with working practices in Fleet Street becoming virtually ungovernable, it was little surprise to find many leading periodical publishers on the verge of bankruptcy by the decade’s end. A notable exception to this general picture of financial mismanagement was provided by the chain of enterprises controlled by Roy Thomson. Having first established a base in Scotland in 1953 through the acquisition of the Scotsman newspaper publishing group, the Canadian entrepreneur brought a new commercial attitude and business strategy to bear on Britain’s periodical publishing industry. Using profits generated by a string of successful media activities, in 1959 Thomson bought a place in Fleet Street through the acquisition of Lord Kemsley’s chain of newspapers, which included the prestigious Sunday Times. Early in 1961 Thomson came to an agreement with Christopher Chancellor, the recently appointed chief executive of Odhams Press, to merge their two publishing groups and thereby create a major new force in the British newspaper and magazine publishing industry. The deal was never consummated however. Within days of publicly announcing the merger, Odhams found its shareholders being seduced by an improved offer from Cecil King, Chairman of Daily Mirror Newspapers, Ltd., which they duly accepted. The Mirror’s acquisition of Odhams was deeply controversial, mainly because it brought under common ownership the two left-leaning British popular newspapers, the Mirror and the Herald.

It has been accepted for inclusion in International Yeats Studies by an authorized editor of TigerPrints. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Introduction: Yeats and Mass Communications David Dwan and Emilie Morin eats often aspired to a lofty independence—to an aristocratic form of art that had “no need of mob or Press to pay its way” (CW4 163). But his own desire for an audience—at least of some notable scale— Ytriggered many a descent from the mountaintop and much contact with the throng (Standish O’Grady would rue the way Yeats had “got down into the crowds”).1 His pursuit of a public necessarily led him into the world of mass media—a landscape populated first by newspapers and later by radios, which he learned to navigate with shrewdness and skill. The purpose of this special issue is to examine Yeats’s various ventures in mass communication—a key component of the literary marketplace in which the poet advertised and ped- dled his wares. Yeats’s exposure to the demands of journalism, book reviewing, and radio broadcasting also had a decisive bearing on his poetics, influenc- ing his ideas about how art should be received and even structured.

  • Breaking News: How the Wheels Came Off at Reuters
    A Poisoned Chalice 1 A Poisoned Chalice n one armchair sits Jeremy Paxman, one of Britain’s best-known, often feared television interviewers. Facing him Iis a relaxed and smiling Sir Peter Job, newly knighted chief executive of Reuters, one of the most famous companies in the world. The pair is flanked by giant TV screens, cameramen training lenses on the stage on which they sit. Below them in the cavern- ous ballroom of London’s Grosvenor House Hotel is an expectant audience of 1,200 current and former staff of the global news and information giant, now celebrating its 150th anniversary. The occasion, in July 2001, also marks the retirement of Job who, after ten years at the helm, is handing over to Tom Glocer, a former mergers and acquisitions lawyer and the first American and first non-journalist to head the company. Reuters is riding the crest of a wave – three decades of virtu- ally uninterrupted growth. But, although profits are running at 1 BREAKING NEWS record highs, cracks are beginning to show. The share price, driven up to all-time highs in the dotcom craze, is 40% below its peak, and only the previous day Reuters has announced more than 1,000 redundancies. Nobody really seems to care. Reuters has had its ups and downs with the markets before and has always ridden out the downturns. Job is not going to let this latest blip spoil the party and responds to Paxman’s questions in his customary self- congratulatory tone. “Would you recognize a bus if you saw one, Sir Peter?” Paxman gives Job an easy ride – this is, after all, a PR gig, not Newsnight – ribbing him gently about his journalistic back- ground and his comment that, now aged sixty, he qualifies for a bus pass.
