The top tier lot of the Tomato Festival also houses the city’s Slope Amphi- theater: a 300-seat outdoor setting that has been used for movie screenings, musical acts and even public programs. “The amphitheater holds great opportunities for us to do some things for movies one night of the festival,” Lombardo said. “I’d like to see the upper lot as a section for children with some rides and vendors.” As mentioned, music is a big part of the festival, and Mayor Lombardo would like to bring in larger acts or former well-known local acts that would be interested in doing a reunion show during the festival. “I would love to see that be the theme, ‘We’re back,’” Lombardo exclaimed. “I’d love to approach The Badlees to ask if they were willing to do a one-off show. It would be great to see older local bands like Strawberry Jam, Mere Mortals or Stonebridge, for example.” Lombardo envisions having recording artists like America or Don McLean playing at the festival. “We had The Badlees play before, we had Shirley Austin and The Shirelles, and I think we need do that again and freshen it up a bit,” Lombardo said. Tony Callaio le photo | Sunday Dispatch “I’m willing to look at anything.” Jenny Yonick, of Camp Hill, was the top female nisher in last year’s Tomato Festival 5K. The Tomato Festival parade and the tomato fi ghts have been an important part of the festival and with the advent of coronavirus, Lombardo admits from here on out they will have to be re-evaluated. Also up for re-evaluation is the possibility of the layout changing over the next few years as well as looking to expand the festival physically to adjoining areas. Another piece of the festival puzzle is the 5K walk/run that Lombardo doesn’t see going away. In fact, he’s looking for new faces on the committee that could take the run to a new and fresh level in the coming years. “I want the festival be a celebration of being back together and that will be the theme for next year, and I’m confi dent that we will be beyond this thing (COVID),” Lombardo said. “We are not going to forget it and there will be remnants of it, but I know we’re going to be in a place where we’re going to safe and we’re going to move it forward.” LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE AT NEXT YEAR’S TOMATO FESTIVAL!

  • 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.

Based on an examination of the correspondence of whig and radical polit- icians, and of the files of the morning Chronicle, it illustrates the impact which Perry made on the world of politics and journalism. The main questions discussed are how Perry responded, as a Foxite journalist, to the chief political issues of the day; the extent to which the whigs attempted to influence his editorial policy and the degree to which he reconciled his independence with obedience to their wishes4 the difficulties he encountered as the spokesman of an often divided party; his considerable involvement, which was remarkable for a journalist, in party activity and in the social life of whig politicians; and his success as a newspaper proprietor concerned not only with political propaganda, but with conducting a paper which was distinguished for the quality of its miscellaneous features and for its profitability as a business enterprise.

Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate Collegec 1251246 ii PREFACE This is a content analysis of the front page news content of the Houston Post and the Houston Chronicle before and after the Post was bought by Toronto Sun Publishing Co. The study sought to determine if the change in ownership of the Post affected the newspaper's content, and if the news content of the Chronicle also had been affected, producing competition between two traditionally noncompetitive newspapers. Many persons made significant contributions to this paper. I would like to express special thanks to my thesis adviser, Dr. Walter J.

  • You Are What You Read
    You are what you read? How newspaper readership is related to views BY BOBBY DUFFY AND LAURA ROWDEN MORI's Social Research Institute works closely with national government, local public services and the not-for-profit sector to understand what works in terms of service delivery, to provide robust evidence for policy makers, and to help politicians understand public priorities. Bobby Duffy is a Research Director and Laura Rowden is a Research Executive in MORI’s Social Research Institute. Contents Summary and conclusions 1 National priorities 5 Who reads what 18 Explaining why attitudes vary 22 Trust and influence 28 Summary and conclusions There is disagreement about the extent to which the media reflect or form opinions. Some believe that they set the agenda but do not tell people what to think about any particular issue, some (often the media themselves) suggest that their power has been overplayed and they mostly just reflect the concerns of the public or other interests, while others suggest they have enormous influence. It is this last view that has gained most support recently. It is argued that as we have become more isolated from each other the media plays a more important role in informing us. At the same time the distinction between reporting and comment has been blurred, and the scope for shaping opinions is therefore greater than ever. Some believe that newspapers have also become more proactive, picking up or even instigating campaigns on single issues of public concern, such as fuel duty or Clause 28. This study aims to shed some more light on newspaper influence, by examining how responses to a key question – what people see as the most important issues facing Britain – vary between readers of different newspapers.

Connecticut Law Review. 263. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/263 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 47 NOVEMBER 2014 NUMBER 1 Article Copyright at Common Law in 1774 H. TOMÁS GÓMEZ-AROSTEGUI As we approach Congress’s upcoming reexamination of copyright law, participants are amassing ammunition for the battle to come over the proper scope of copyright. One item that both sides have turned to is the original purpose of copyright, as reflected in a pair of cases decided in Great Britain in the late 18th century—the birthplace of Anglo-American copyright. The salient issue is whether copyright was a natural or customary right, protected at common law, or a privilege created solely by statute. These differing viewpoints set the default basis of the right. Whereas the former suggests the principal purpose was to protect authors, the latter indicates that copyright should principally benefit the public. The orthodox reading of these two cases is that copyright existed as a common-law right inherent in authors. In recent years, however, revisionist work has challenged that reading. Relying in part on the discrepancies of 18th-century law reporting, scholars have argued that the natural-rights and customary views were rejected.
