Michael Balcon's Vision of a National Cinema
This article examines Michael Balcon's vision of a British national cinema, as articulated in a series of lectures and articles in the 1940s and early 1950s. Balcon is best known for his role as Director of Ealing films during that studio's peak years, yet he also was a significant spokesperson for Britain's film industry in a period of world war and the post-war reconstruction of Britain's social contract. For Balcon, it was crucial that British…

Sam Hutchinson. Settlers, War, and Empire in the Press
Sam Hutchinson’s Settlers, War, and Empire in the Press: Unsettling News in Australia and Britain, 1863–1902 examines the ways in which newspapers, both in Australia and to a lesser extent in Britain, constructed multiple, competing and complementary, identities among the Australian public in the second half of the nineteenth century. Hutchinson sees newspapers as ephemeral commercial products that, in order to resonate with their audiences, arti…
The Cultural Construction of the British World
This book collects eleven original essays in the cultural history of the British Empire since the eighteenth century. It is geographically capacious, taking in the United Kingdom, India, West Africa, Hong Kong, and Australia, as well as sites of informal British influence such as the Ottoman Empire and southern China. The book considers the ways in which British culture circulated within what John Darwin has called the British “world system”. In …
Hong Kong and British Culture, 1945-97
This book examines the place of Hong Kong in the British imagination between the end of World War II and the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in July 1997. It argues that Hong Kong has received far less attention from British imperial and cultural historians than its importance would warrant. It argues that Hong Kong was a site within which competing yet complementary visions of Britishness could be imagined—for example, the British pen…
Cultural Construction of the British World
This volume builds upon developments in recent years in reconceptualising the British Empire as a system structured around complex, multi-layered networks, which transcended conventionally defined boundaries between metropolitan and colonial space
Hong Kong and British culture, 1945–97
This book examines the British cultural engagement with Hong Kong in the second half of the twentieth century. It shows how the territory fit unusually within Britain's decolonisation narratives and served as an occasional foil for examining Britain's own culture during a period of perceived stagnation and decline.\nDrawing on a wide range of archival and published primary sources, Hong Kong and British culture, 1945-97 investigates such themes a…
Jonathan Silberstein-Loeb. The International Distribution of News
Jonathan Silberstein-Loeb’s The International Distribution of News: The Associated Press, Press Association, and Reuters, 1848–1947 explores intriguingly the intersections among business, different national regulatory regimes, and technology in the shaping of modern journalism. The book’s center of gravity is the U.S. and the United Kingdom and, as its subtitle reveals, three of their institutions, specifically the Associated Press (AP), the Pres…

The political economy of precarious work in the tourism industry in small island developing states
International tourism is now the predominant industry driving growth in many small island developing states (SIDS). Governments of small islands in the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and Pacific have seemingly put most of their eggs into one development basket – the all-inclusive holiday in a luxury hotel, resort or cruise ship. While this industry generates employment, foreign direct investment, and income for island governments and the private sector,…
Historical Approaches to Media Studies
In recent decades, media history has become increasingly prominent, with scholarship emerging from a wide variety of disciplines. This chapter examines the methodological issues involved in conducting historical research in media studies. Using Adrian Bingham's Family Newspapers? and Laura Beers's Your Britain as case studies, it explains such topics as historical context, locating primary sources, and the production and reception of media texts.…
The Political Cartoon as Educationalist Journalism
This article examines David Low's depiction of unemployment in his cartoons during the interwar period, as a case study of the political cartoon as journalism. In doing so, it highlights the instability of journalism as a genre or, put more positively, the self-conscious blurring of generic forms. Even as the word “journalist” shed its mid-nineteenth-century opprobrium, late nineteenth-century voices had argued over the competing claims of report…
Journalism history—a debate
In this exchange, Mark Hampton and Martin Conboy debate the best approaches to researching and writing journalism history. In the first essay, Hampton, taking as his starting point Conboy's 2010 agenda-setting article, “The Paradoxes of Journalism History”, argues that journalism history should be more deeply integrated within broader cultural, political, and economic historiographies, and that media history is key to this task. In the second ess…
Journalists' Histories of Journalism
Journalism history, like media history, is an impressively interdisciplinary field in which historians, literary critics, sociologists, philosophers, and communication scholars regularly engage each other's work. Yet journalism is also rare in the extent to which practitioners have written far-ranging histories of their own profession. Examining five well-known histories written by journalists practicing in Britain—Francis Williams, Phillip Knigh…
The Dynamics of Genre
In recent years, it has become a commonplace among Victorian periodical scholars that literature and journalism emerged as distinct (and gendered) fields only in the late nineteenth century.1 This occurred during a period in which British intellectual life became more highly specialized and, in important ways, fragmented. In the mid century, by contrast, ‘men of letters’ (some of whom were women) moved fluidly across what we would today recognize…
Projecting Britishness to Hong Kong
This article examines post-war British cultural diplomacy in Hong Kong, focusing on the British Council and Hong Kong House. Drawing on colonial office, British Council and Hong Kong government archival collections, it argues that neither the British nor Hong Kong governments placed a high priority on promoting British cultural values to the Hong Kong Chinese. Moreover, even this limited emphasis declined after the late nineteen-sixties, reflecti…

Early Hong Kong Television, 1950s–1970s
This article argues that the development of television in Hong Kong should be viewed as a part of British media history. Yet within this context, it is striking that the Hong Kong Government did not follow the public ownership model of the BBC (even though it had followed a similar model with radio broadcasting), nor did the Government make significant efforts to use television as a vehicle for promoting British culture within Hong Kong. Instead,…

The “Objectivity” Ideal and Its Limitations in 20th-Century British Journalism
Scholars of British journalism often refer to an Anglo-American shared ideal of “objectivity.” While well-demonstrated in the American context, however, this ideal is merely assumed in the British context. In fact, a close examination of professional discourse among 20th-century British journalists shows the limitations of this ideal's appeal. Although it has appeared in particular contexts, specifically as corporate norms at Reuters and the BBC,…

Newspapers in Victorian Britain
This article argues that while the prolific scholarship on the Victorian press arguably does not constitute a coherent research field that engages with common concerns, broader trends can be identified into which much of the scholarship falls. Specifically, many studies of the Victorian press can be categorized around three questions: the level of continuity or rupture between mid‐Victorian newspapers and the New Journalism beginning in the 1880s…

Understanding media
This article examines the theories of the press that circulated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, relating them to their economic, political and intellectual contexts. It argues that elite discussions of the press often stood in for discussions of the changing relationship between the elite and popular classes. In the mid-19th century, and ideal of the press as an `educational' agency predominated; the press should involve readers in a p…
Journalists and the 'Professional Ideal' in Britain
This article examines the early history of the Institute of Journalists as a case study of occupational development in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. It argues that disagreements over the putative meaning of 'professional' led to widespread belief that journalists' interests were best served by organizing as a trade union rather than as a 'professional organization'. Drawing on trade periodicals, memoirs and journalism handbooks, this arti…
