His family had a strong tradition of Liberalism. He became a journalist and author, after having given up his legal career due to ill-health. He continued to suffer from ill-health throughout his life. He started writing when he moved with his family to Liverpool and became newspaper correspondent, for the Barmouth Advertiser in 1904 and then the Liverpool Courier, reporting on Evan Roberts' revival meetings in Liverpool in 1905. He became the editor of Y Genedl Gymreig and The North Wales Observer in 1908. He was also editor of Y Goleuad for two terms. He resigned from Y Genedl in 1930, having returned there in 1918, to become a freelance writer. He wrote a weekly column and reviews for the Liverpool Daily Post and the Manchester Guardian, and from 1919 he used the pen-name Celt for his articles for the Liverpool Daily Post.

Among his other published works are Gorse Glen (1948), a translation of Hugh Evans' Cwm Eithin; David Lloyd George (1943), and Y Wasg Gymraeg (1945).

    Welsh Lessons © Antone Minard, 2016 This series of lessons is designed to accompany the Welsh courses I offer through the Vancouver Welsh Society, currently scheduled to meet once a week for two ten-week terms. They are designed to supplement the class meetings, or to substitute if you have missed a meeting, or just to serve as a reference. Because heritage language learners all come with different abilities and progress at different paces, each lesson is divided into three sections: Level A for Beginners, Level B for Intermediate, and Level C for advanced. Each lesson starts with a flowchart to help you assess your level for that particular lesson. This is a work in progress, and over the next year or so I will be adding dialogues, exercises, and example quotes from Welsh songs and folklore, and if I can find someone to contribute, illustrations. If there are errors, or if you find something confusing, please contact me at [email protected]. The Welsh Lessons here are meant to complement your other learning tools. There are a lot of great resources online, such as the Say Something in Welsh course (https://www.saysomethingin.com/welsh/course1). The awesome duolingo now has Welsh; it’s not perfect, but it’s very effective for progress in the early stages. Finally, of course, if you’re not a member of the Vancouver Welsh Society, why not join via Paypal as a thank you? Only $20 per year for an out-of-area membership. Lesson One: Alphabet & Pronunciation Diagnostic Page, Lesson 1 Question 1: No: Go to Level A Can you more or less pronounce Mae ’nghath i yn llwyd ?

  • Explanatory Notes
    EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. General. It might be well if readers would, before beginning to use the book, enter, on the relevant pages, the corrigenda printed on p. lviii. Further, in spite of the liberal provision of cross-references, a reader may not always easily find the article (if there is one) on a particular person; as the decision to include some of the articles in the Appendix was not made until the pages under the appropriate letter in the main text had been printed off, it is certain that there are no advance cross-references to those articles. It is suggested that the reader, before abandoning hope, should make certain that his quarry is not included in the Appendix, or that there is no account of him in the article on his family, or that he has not been entered under one of the other variants of the spelling of his name—see note 2 below. The references at the foot of an article are not intended to be 'bibliographies' —they are, in principle, merely lists of the sources which the contributor has actually used, though in many instances the works mentioned do give bibliographical information. Book-titles (and occasional quotations) in Welsh are printed in the spelling (however out-dated today) of their original publication or writing. Square brackets have been used to indicate divergencies (corrections or additions) from the text of the Welsh edition; but the articles in the Appendix, and the few articles in the main text which have been entirely recast for this edition (see p.

  • A Short Report Into Community Radio in Wales
    National Assembly for Wales Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee A short report into community radio in Wales November 2019 Recommendations Recommendation 1. The Welsh Government should fund a community radio body for Wales. The body would offer practical support to stations, perform a representative role and co-ordinate cross station co-operation and knowledge sharing. Practical support might include performing common tasks for stations like HR, marketing or grant writing. The body should also help forge links between community stations and other interested bodies like commercial and BBC radio. Recommendation 2. The Welsh Government should place more government advertising, particularly public information campaigns, with Community Radio stations and provide guidance to other public sector bodies in Wales to draw their attention to the possibilities of using the sector more. Recommendation 3. The BBC should actively engage with community radio to give access to the output and promote the use of their Local Democracy Reporting Service. Recommendation 4. The BBC and commercial radio should work with community radio to develop a pathway for community radio volunteers to gain experience at their radio stations as a means of developing talent across Wales. www.assembly.wales A short report into community radio in Wales Recommendation 5. The BBC should offer community radio stations preferential rates and first refusal when selling off radio equipment they no longer use. Recommendation 6. Radio Joint Audience Research (RAJAR) should develop a less complex and cheaper audience survey that community radio could use. Stations that chose to use this new service should then be able to access the advertisers that place adverts using RAJAR ratings.

  • Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Radio yng Nghymru / Radio in Wales CWLC(5) RADIO01 Ymateb gan Pwyllgor Cynghori Cymru, Ofcom / Evidence from Ofcom Advisory Committee for Wales The possible impact of the deregulation of commercial radio on audiences in Wales In May 2017, the Advisory Committee submitted a response to the consultation by the UK Government Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DDCMS) on proposals to deregulate commercial radio within the UK. We supported the broad thrust of the proposed relaxation of current regulatory provision, including the removal of existing music format requirements and Ofcom’s role in ensuring a range of choice in radio services. It is worth explaining why. It is an understandable reaction to suggest that relaxing these requirements will lead to the homogenisation of the radio provision for listeners in Wales. The music will all sound the same and it will be increasingly difficult to tell the stations apart. Surely local commercial stations were meant to be local and reflect the communities they serve instead of becoming (in some cases) just links in a chain of commercial stations across the UK? Commercial radio, however, faces a number of challenges in the coming decade. It already faces competition from the internet, where equivalent stations undergo no regulation of any kind. The potential switchover to digital, whenever it may come, also poses a similar problem. Existing legislation does not provide for any regulatory requirements on digital commercial stations in terms of programme formats or the provision of news.

  • Wales and Ofcom
    Wales and Ofcom A Report by an Advisory Group to the Minister for Culture, Sport and the Welsh Language, Welsh Assembly Government 27th March 2003 Contents Executive Summary p. 2 Terms of Reference and Membership p. 4 1. Background p. 5 2. Government Intentions p. 9 3. Ofcom Functions in the Nations p.15 4. Issues facing Wales and Ofcom p.24 1 Wales and Ofcom Wales and Ofcom - Executive Summary This report was prepared at the request of Jenny Randerson AM, the Minister for Culture, Sport and the Welsh Language within the Welsh Assembly Government. The report considers the possible future role and functions of Ofcom in relation to Wales, and provides an assessment of issues of importance to Wales and Ofcom in light of the reform of the regulatory environment for broadcasting and telecommunications. The terms of reference and membership of the Advisory Group are outlined on page 4. The first chapter of the report provides an outline of current issues in relation to broadcasting and telecommunications in Wales. The chapter outlines Wales’ political culture and governmental arrangements, and draws attention to its unique bilingual identity and distinct cultural context. Media consumption patterns are distinct from those in England and Scotland, as are certain aspects of broadcast content. Attention is drawn to the particular problems associated with broadcast delivery in Wales as a result of topography and population dispersal, and the issues raised by this in terms of democratic accountability. There are also particular issues for Wales in terms of telecommunications infrastructure, and the roll out of digital broadcasting and advanced telecommunications.
