Problems Which Do Not Exist in the Field of Sound Alone’
The launch of television in the 1930s posed new challenges to the British Broadcasting Corporation’s efforts to regulate references to businesses and product names on its advertising-free airwaves. In developing such policies for television, the BBC recognized the greater role the new medium gave to inanimate objects, including those bearing logos and maker’s names, and the potential for outside camera shots to include business signs and advertis…
The BBC’s Controversy Committee, 1928–1929
When the British Broadcasting Corporation in early 1928 was freed from earlier restrictions on addressing controversial topics in its broadcasts, its management created a special internal body to oversee their handling. The Controversy Committee addressed a range of potentially contentious subjects, making decisions and recommendations and establishing formats. Its work shows efforts to provide a practical application of the BBC’s public service …
A modern version of restoration comedy? Double entendre, objectification, fearful men and rakes manqué in the television work of Benny Hill
Benny Hill's once globally popular (but controversial) television humour was often built around elements associated with Restoration comedy. These included double entendre; the objectification of women (which Hill in the 1980s intensified, to the detriment of his comedy and career); and themes involving men fearing women. Additionally, some of Hill's characters had traits suggestive of those of Restoration comedy, although his men generally lacke…
Crime News in a Loyalist Press Environment
Several laws regulate and influence reporting on crime in the United Arab Emirates, a country in which journalism functions within a Loyalist Press environment. These include elements in the 1980 press law and the recently updated penal code and cybercrimes laws. This legislation can secure the confidentiality of police investigations, protect privacy, and prevent the spread of false information, but it can also hinder timely reporting and the di…
From Peers to Professionals
In their work on the regulation of social media influencers, Catalina Goanta and Sofia Ranchordás noted that the topic’s complexities involve, among other things, rethinking “the distinction between peers and professionals” (2019, 14). The United Arab Emirates in 2018 addressed this issue by essentially professionalizing what had previously often been seen as a form of “peer-to-peer” marketing. It did this by requiring official licensure for inde…
The brevity and severity of ‘Golden Age’ piracy trials
A sampling of piracy and piracy-related trials involving mainly English (later British) and colonial courts between 1670 and 1731 shows that from opening statements through deliberations they were rapid affairs, few extending beyond a single calendar date, and that on average they appear to have convicted about six of every 10 defendants who pleaded Not Guilty. That conviction figure is impacted by high-volume trials in 1700 and 1722 that acquitt…
A certain false, malicious, scandalous and famous libel’
This research examines the surviving plea roll from Sir Henry Morgan’s 1685 libel action against London publisher Thomas Malthus, presenting what it reveals about the substance of the complaint in the context of contemporary English libel law and Morgan-related sources. Malthus and rival printer William Crooke had produced competing English translations of buccaneer Alexandre Exquemelin’s memoir of Morgan-led operations against the Spanish, which…
John Massey, George Lowther, and the taking of the Gambia Castle , 1721
Documents from UK archives and surviving contemporary journalism provide a wealth of detail (some of it long overlooked) about the 1723 piracy trial of English army officer John Massey. He, along with mutineer George Lowther, ran away in 1721 with the well-armed Royal African Company ship Gambia Castle and went on a short piratical cruise in the Caribbean. The documents and articles shed light not only on Massey, who would be hanged for his crime…
The Berlin Newspaper Der Panzerbär , April 1945
The Berlin newspaper Der Panzerbär, which functioned briefly in April 1945, is of historical interest to the study of propaganda, and that of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) in particular. The newspaper's contents reveal the NSDAP propaganda machine functioning in circumstances of immediate violence and utter irrationality. The involvement of NSDAP propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in the newspaper is documented, alth…
