  • Media Education Journal – Autumn/Winter 2004/5 ‘Invisible Journalists’ by Jenny Mckay, University of Stirling [email protected]
    Media Education Journal – Autumn/Winter 2004/5 ‘Invisible Journalists’ by Jenny McKay, University of Stirling [email protected] If you go into a newsagent to buy a magazine you’re likely to find around 450 titles to choose from. If you shop at one of the bigger supermarkets there might even be as many as 800. Yet this still represents only a small selection of the total number of magazines published in the UK. That figure is about 8,500 and can’t be precise because every year another 500 or so titles are launched. Some disappear too but the fact is that the UK has a large and lively periodicals industry publishing a huge range of titles to expanding audiences at home and abroad. These audiences tend to trust what they read in their magazines more than they trust their newspapers. Millions of magazines are sold weekly and almost everyone reads or buys one, or more likely several, at least on an occasional basis. This year saw the birth of two magazines which additionally represent the birth of a sector. Zoo and Nuts have found their young male readers and look set to thrive thanks, partly, to their multi-million pound launch budgets (£8.5m and £8m respectively) but also to the skill of their publishers in manipulating consumers into changing their behaviour. So now the UK has a men’s weekly magazine market that didn’t exist before, and that is ‘bursting with potential’ according to Sylvia Auton, chief executive of IPC Media which publishes Nuts.

Some species produce potent toxins that can sicken or kill people, domestic animals, and wildlife. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to cyanotoxin poisoning because of their tendency to swim in and drink contaminated water during algal blooms or to ingestalgal mats.

  • Early Development of News Sites in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1990S: Exploring Trans-Atlantic Connections
    Will T. Mari Early Development of News Sites in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1990s: Exploring Trans-Atlantic Connections Abstract The many close, trans-Atlantic connections between the United States and Britain were the setting and inspiration for much of how these nations’ respective media systems produce and consume news online today. Publishers, soft- ware engineers and journalists in both nations shared worries about the impact of the internet on the newspaper industry, and the early migration—or, in many cases, the uneven migration—to online news sites during the 1990s. This paper will explore some of those shared concerns, down to the editor and reporter level, with a special focus on the mid-to-late 1990s, and concluding with what changed by the end of that decade, and what did not. It is part of a larger study examining the internet and journalism’s initial encounters. It is based on a close reading of trade publications, memoirs, oral-history interviews and other primary-source material, and inspired by the work of Niels Brügger, with its treatment of ‘web history’ in a serious and contextualized way. Keywords internet history, media history, history of online news, transnational media history In 2020, looking back at how journalism looked online in the 1990s, with its slow, buzzing dial up, simplistic graphics made of low-resolution photos (if they were posted at all) and lack of streaming, it might be hard to see the connection to the present, with its TikTok, immersive apps and omnipresent (more or less) Wi-Fi.

  • Journalists' Collective Representation and Editorial Content in Newspapers
    Journalists’ collective representation and editorial content in newspapers Purpose: This article examines the intriguing juxtaposition of a bona fide independent union for journalists in Britain which is vocal about editorial standards and interference yet has seldom taken collective action to respond to such instances. Design/methodology/approach: A grounded approach to this phenomenon used is used by way of examining the intersection of the nature and influence of journalistic professionalism, the journalists’ material and economic interests and the particular approach of the union to both these matters. The data is based on qualitative fieldworks supplemented by secondary sources. Findings: The journalists and their union have yet to identify and articulate, and the conditions which give rise to these, a strategy for defending their professional interests which is compatible with and supportive of strategies for defending their material interests. Practical implications: There is a need to develop a strategy by which journalists can collective exert more influence over editorial content. Social implications: The quality of content of newspapers could be enhanced by the greater influence of journalists as a collective body. Keywords: journalists, collective action, editorial content, Britain Type of paper: research paper Journalists’ collective representation and editorial content in British newspapers Introduction The dominant explanations of the processes and dynamics by which the editorial content of newspapers in Britain is created
