Pioneering journalist Ambrose Gonzales originally published his vivid character sketches of former slaves living along the South Carolina coast in the State, the newspaper he founded with his brother Narcisco in 1891 and South Carolina's largest newspaper today. Gonzales's stories focus on the black dialect of the South Carolina low-country developed by isolated plantation field hands who seldom came into contact with their white owners. He captures their characteristic patois and creates an authentic record of African American stories and speech of the time.

You can't be neutral about the media. Some are critical of it, some distrust it, but almost all of us are influenced by it. So why do newspapers in Goa behave the way they do? Can we get some clues from what insiders say about their experiences? This book covers over four decades of post-colonial Goa's newspaper scene. It offers colourful - if highly personalised, and often critical - stories of those who saw the media from the frontline. Read about the media and first assembly elections of 1963, and attempts in the 1970s to build alternatives in the English-language and Konkani. Many pages fo

In the early hours of January 4th 1944 a Wellington bomber of the RAF crashed in Brockhurst wood near the village of Farnham Common. Of the crew of six only one survived. After the war the people of the village clubbed together for a memorial and installed a stained glass window in the Anglican Church of St. John’s nearby. Forty years later Mrs. Florence Payne, mother of the dead rear-gunner, Sergeant Victor Payne, returned on a pilgrimage, revisiting the site and the church. The local newspaper covered the visit in a moving story and raised questions in the mind of

After many very profitable years, newspaper publishers in most OECD countries face declining advertising revenues and significant reductions in circulation and readership, especially among younger people. At the same time, many promising new ways of news creation and distribution are evolving, enabled by increasing technological capabilities, new information intermediaries, and decentralized forms of content creation.Despite these new possibilities, however, no business or revenue-sharing models have
