Just like last time, those interested in coming along should let me know (as soon as possible) and I will send you a brochure of lots and lots of B&Bs and hotels to choose from, covering a wide range of sizes and prices. Then it’s up to you to organise your accommodation. This is essentially a Cartoonists’ Club of Great Britain convention. It is a purely social event for the club’s members, their families and their friends. All are welcome – the more the merrier. Stratford is fab and is slap-bang in the middle of England, so I don’t want to hear any North/ South arguments (except from the Scots who are allowed). There’s plenty to see and do in Stratford (when not in the pub). There are the theatres, the world’s best row of restaurants in Sheep Street, and the shopping is simply fabulous, dahling.

Introduction This paper focuses on the contemporary Scottish poet Jackie Kay and the comic strip ‘The Broons’ by studying Jackie Kay’s representation of this family in contrast to its characterisation in the comic strip. 1 This study presents a brief introduction to Jackie Kay and ‘The Broons’ and pays attention to Kay’s referential portrayal of this Scottish family in five of her poems: ‘Maw Broon Visits a Therapist’ (2006a, p.46-47), ‘Paw Broon on the Starr Report’ (2006a, p.57), ‘The Broon’s Bairn’s Black’ (2006a, p.61), ‘There’s Trouble for Maw Broon’ (2005, p.13-14) and ‘Maw Broon goes for colonic irrigation’ (unpublished). 2 Each of the poems will be approached stylistically by using the advantages offered by corpus linguistics methodology; in particular, the program Wordsmith Tools 3.0.

  • Edinburgh's Oor Wullie Sculptures
    Edinburgh's Oor Wullie Sculptures Raising money for charity takes on many forms of media from television, radio, newspapers ads, flyers, shows, concerts, door‐to‐door and other campaign techniques. While we were in Edinburgh, we got to see and photograph several Oor We Wullie sculptures that are being utilized to raise funds for youth. According to the Edinburgh News: In Edinburgh, Scotland the 2019 Oor Wullie Big Bucket Trail was in the city as well as other communities such as Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness. Two hundred sculptures will be in the cities mentioned between June 17 and August 30, 2019. The purpose is to raise money for three children's hospital charities via five city auctions for the sculptures. The charities mentioned include the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, the ARCHIE Foundation and Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. The hospital charities work with the National Health Service to provide care and services for babies, children and young people. According to msn.com: Oor Wulie is a popular comic strip character in Scotland. Scotland's Princess Beatrice became part of the fundraising campaign on June 17, 2019. D.C. Thomson Media has commissioned 200 life‐sized sculptures of the comic book character to put in the five cities to help fundraising. A similar campaign in 2016 raised 900,000 pounds. Besides the 200 on the streets, another 350 "wee" sculptures decorated by local schools, community groups and youth organizations can be seen in libraries, art galleries and shopping centers. According to britishcomics.com: "Oor Wullie is a Scottish comic strip published in the D.C.

The exhibition has been programmed in partnership with DC Thomson to celebrate the 80th anniversary of The Broons and Oor Wullie. The invited artists, Rabiya Choudhry, Rob Churm, Craig Coulthard, Malcy Duff, Hideyuki Katsumata and Sofia Sita, have each visited the DC Thomson archives and are exhibiting their own individual takes on the rich cultural history of our city’s publishing. The exhibition features murals, prints, drawings, sculpture and video alongside archive material. ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION RABIYA CHOUDHRY Edinburgh-based artist Rabiya Choudhry’s work takes inspiration from childhood memories and subconscious dreams. She has created new work for the exhibition loosely based on her own family and inspired by DC Thomson’s riotous comic strip The Numskulls, about a team of tiny human-like technicians who live inside people’s heads and run their bodies and minds. Choudhry’s own comic creation, The Coconuts, is the basis for a new pair of paintings in homage to The Numskulls. The paintings are titled dream baby dream and houses for the holy, in reference to songs by the bands Suicide and Led Zeppelin respectively.

But that’s good news for both sides of the divide, argues a PR academic It is time to admit that the two disciplines of journalism and PR are two sides of the same coin and that there is now complete freedom of movement between them. What’s more, with PR generally being better remunerated and flourishing, whereas journalism – print and broadcast – seems to be in a constant state of crisis, has public relations emerged from being seen by journalism as a poor and distant relation to taking on the role of a rich and powerful cousin? With the continuing growth of jobs in the PR industry – in business, politics, government and with exploding demand for PR online – more and more students who might have been attracted to journalism courses are now opting for PR degrees. Drawn to London, as the centre of European media, they arrive in increasing numbers from all over the world.

  • 16News Journalism and Public Relations
    Journalists and their sources 259 News journalism and public relations: 16 a dangerous relationship Kevin Moloney, Daniel Jackson and David McQueen “A lot of people think that British journalism is corrupted. I agree with them. Our job as journalists is to tell the truth, but repeatedly we fail. From the great global falsehoods on weapons of mass destruction and millennium bugs to the daily dribble of routine disinformation and distortion, we serve up stories which are no better than the idea that the Earth is flat.” Nick Davies (2008) “Getting PR material into the news is easy. You just need to know what buttons to press.” Bournemouth University BA Public Relations graduate (2012) When news journalism and public relations (PR) meet in the newsroom, there is tension. These two communication types want incompatible outcomes: independent reporting against favourable reporting. At a time when PR is on the rise, the challenge for contemporary journalism is to produce news that retains a critical distance from its sources, no matter how strong the tide of PR. That tide has strengthened in the UK because of the phone hacking-scandals of 2008 to 2011 caused by widespread but often-denied illegal and unethical practices when journalists listened in to private conservations. The British press had to wash its dirty linen before global audiences at the televised Leveson Inquiry into Press Standards (2012) which exposed 260 Kevin Moloney, Daniel Jackson and David McQueen News journalism and public relations: a dangerous relationship 261 the interconnected world of politics, lobbying and media pow- er.
