On the topic of media perspectives I like the idea of socialism and how it helps stabilize society by creating common bonds between members in terms of shared values and experiences. #comm233fa19 #mediaperspective

Cultivation theory examines the long-term effects of television, as an advertising student I wonder what effect commercials and ads on television have on us? I found a pretty cool source that talks about it.

I love learning about women in journalism, especially in the early 1900s. Having a women reporter really changed how people viewed the news and this is a great article that talks about the history of women in journalism. #comm233fa19 #journalism

I'm so happy to have author Fiona Veitch Smith as a guest today.

You may remember that I posted about her book The Death Beat a while back. I was fascinated with the fact that, in addition to her main character Poppy Denby being a journalist in the 1920s, Fiona is an experienced journalist herself. So I reached out to her and asked whether she may be interested in telling us a bit about being a women and a journalist in yesteryears, and she kindly accepted.

She presented me with an awesome article, which I can't wait to share with you.
Read on!

-------------------------------------------------

Poppy Denby, 1920s Reporter

The Poppy Denby Investigates books are about a young, female reporter sleuth in the early 1920s. Poppy Denby works for a tabloid newspaper in London called The Daily Globe. She initially gets a job as an administrative assistant to the editor, but when the lead journalist dies under mysterious circumstances, she picks up his story and takes over the investigation - eventually earning herself an appointment as a 'proper' reporter. By the end of the first book she is working as the arts and entertainment editor, dabbling in a bit of crime reporting on the side.

Poppy, in some ways, is based on my own experience as a young, female journalist working on a newspaper in Cape Town in the 1990s. I covered a broad range of stories, including crime and, on occasion, murder. I also covered art and culture, as the area in which I lived and worked was one of the main arts quarters of Cape Town. So a mix of arts and crime was part of my daily experience (professionally speaking, of course!).

Back then, two-thirds of the news room and the entire managerial staff was male. I now teach modules in journalism at a British university and the students are 75% female. So women have come a long way in the profession. But in Poppy's day, and certainly before that, women journalists were a rarity.

Awesome Woman and a Journalist of the 1800s and Early 1900s

Before the 1960s the women who worked on newspapers were mainly in secretarial roles. Those who did make it into the editorial department as writers were usually expected to cover domestic issues, celebrity gossip, fashion and so-forth. However, there have been some notable exceptions which gave me scope to develop the character of Poppy Denby.

The first woman in Britain to earn a salary as a journalist was Eliza Linton who worked for The Morning Chronicle from 1848 to the end of the 1860s. She, like me, was also a novelist. Unfortunately, she was renowned for her virulent anti-feminist views.

A supporter of women's rights was journalist Margaret Fuller, who worked for The New York Tribune in the 1840s. She was also a leading advocate for the abolition of slavery. As a journalist she travelled to Italy to cover the 1848 Italian Revolutions. She was given the job by the editor of The Tribune, Horace Greeley, who had no problem seeing the worth of women. He also appointed Jane Grey Swisshelm as the first female political correspondent to cover sittings of the US Congress. Horace (who shares his name with my grandfather) was partly the inspiration for Poppy's editor, Rollo Rolandson.

Also in America was the incredible Nellie Bly, one of the pioneers of investigative journalism. Nellie went under cover for The New York World (edited by Joseph Pulitzer) in 1887, spending ten days pretending to be a mentally ill patient in a New York asylum. She exposed the horrific conditions in the asylum and her article - and subsequent book - sparked public outrage and reform. I had not heard of Nellie before I wrote my book The Jazz Files, in which a woman is held against her will in an asylum for seven years. Poppy and her friend Delilah enter the asylum in disguise, posing as nurses. It was only when the book came out someone told me that it reminded them of the real-life antics of Nellie Bly.

Nellie also went around the world in 72 days, inspired by the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days, and wrote travel articles about her experience. She raced against another woman journalist, Elizabeth Bisland, who wrote for Cosmopolitan. Bly and Bisland left New York on the same day, travelling in opposite directions. Bly won the race by four days.

WWI and the 1920s

In Sweden, women were prominent in journalism from the beginning. In 1901 The Swedish Union of Journalists was founded and had female members from the very start. However, after WWI, the introduction of the 'women's section' in newspapers worldwide - funded by advertisers - ensured that female reporters were compelled to cover domestic issues.

This was a major setback for women in journalism as the First World War had provided the opportunity for a number of notable women to make their mark in the field, including the American, Winifred Bonfils, who wrote under the byline 'Annie Laurie'. Before heading to wartime Europe, Bonfils made her name doing sensational undercover exposés of polygamous Mormon communities in Texas (where she disguised herself as a boy) and the appalling conditions of a leper colony in Hawaii. Women journalists of the time were renowned for tackling difficult subjects of social injustice, and this is something that I pick up on in my Poppy Denby books.

During the 1920s strong-minded female journalists continued to break the mould, including Ester Blenda Nordström, the Swedish investigative reporter and explorer. Nordström made her name working undercover as a teacher in a Sami (Eskimo) community in Lapland, where she exposed racial injustice and abuse. The trend continued during the 1930s culminating in the start of the Second World War being broken by British war correspondent, Clare Hollingworth, working for The Daily Telegraph. In between her journalistic work, she helped run a refugee relocation programme, saving thousands of Jews and Communists from the Nazis. Hollingworth went on to be one of the leading foreign correspondents of the Cold War period.

As an advertising student there’s a lot of importance of advertising. I think in the past years the biggest change is how celebrities advertise products that aren’t as good as they say. This is false advertising and it’s changed how we view the world. #comm233fa19 #advertising

The quote from the movie spotlight, “We got to show people that no one can get away with this!” Was powerful to me because a lot of celebrities and big name people do get away with things in the media. Very powerful movie. #comm233fa19 #spotlight

Many people believe their local new outlet is doing well, but they are losing reporters and editors everyday leading to each paper being able to cover only small regions of the community. They are also starting to lose many of the experienced reporters. #comm233fa19 #newspaper

A little while ago, we wrote about powerful advertisement examples that were designed to raise awareness about important social and environmental issues. But what about animals? They don't have a way to raise awareness about the issues they face, so it's up to us to help them out.

Because of our inactivity and little concern to animal rights, according to WWF, there are around 20 species of wild animals in critical endangerment with a lot more vulnerable ones. If we let animal cruelty continue, we might lose such animals as tigers, gorillas, and whales.

These printed ads address different types of issues, but they're all about giving a voice to the voiceless. Most of us love animals, and yet we remain ignorant of or apathetic towards the abuse of domestic or circus animals or the extinction, poaching, and over-harvesting of wild populations. If you're an animal lover, consider putting your time or your money behind one of these noble campaigns!

There are lots of powerful animal welfare ads, and we've compiled a list of the most memorable ones. Ones that might just help to raise awareness to this awful case.
