Racism in the 1960s Two years on from arguably the most racist election campaign in British history, people were continuing to shun their new black and Asian neighbours. Smethwick, in 1966, was a community divided. Landlords would not let their houses to them. Churches closed their doors to well-dressed families, so as not to upset the white congregation. E ven haircuts were off limits as racist barbers refused to let immigrants into their salons. "They should live in a district by themselves. They're not clean," one young mother said at the time. Another man complained: "They're a nuisance when you've got to walk past them in the street, they won't move. They're a nuisance at work." Another claimed: "They're content with Kitekat [cat food] and dog food, instead of ordinary meat." About 75,000 immigrants a year were arriving in Britain in the mid 1960s and yet there had been precious little information given to natives ...

A tabloid is more for entertainment purposes, a broadsheet is more for informing the audience of current events. The Observer was a broadsheet in the 1960s. The Guardian is now a hybrid newspaper (combination of Tabloid and Broadsheet)

The representation featured in the online observer reflects its values and beliefs'. Discuss how far you agree with this statement in relation to Extract 3  The observer and the online observer are publications that sit towards the political spectrum, commonly known to reference difficult issues in recent affairs. The Observer also often displays different ethnicities, discussing different cultures and being mostly inclusive throughout. This shows that they do present their beliefs of equality. The paper's readership is generally on the mainstream left of British political opinion, and its reputation as a platform for liberal and left-wing representation. The paper commonly comments on political events with their opinions, with a possible intention to influence the reader towards a certain party for future political decisions. This is further proving that they do present their beliefs in their papers.

-Racism? -Homophobia? -Xenophobia? -Nationalism? -Sexism? On one hand, Women's rights are represented on the front cover, with a respectable medium, close up shot of the Queen. This can be seen as a feminist movement , by putting the Queen as the main image of the cover, whilst there is an image of the back of The Duke of Edinburgh lower down on the page. This was deliberately laid out this way to present Prince Phillip as a lower figure of less status and importance than the Queen. However, the covering of Prince Phillip, may be seen as an anti-feminist message, because it is showing that Phillip, a male, is not equal as the Queen, a female.  Contrastingly, this advert of women's lingerie objectifies women, by presenting women as 'sex objects' for men to use. It also promotes a beauty standard on how society expected women to look (light-skinned, slim). This is hypocritical, as the cover clearly presents a feminist message w...

morse code- Created a way to talk to people without being near them, this made news circulation decrease because it meant that recent affairs could be discussed from a distance without needing to be near each other, however if made the industry somewhat stronger because it made news outlets able to discuss stories from further away making stories less localised and more interesting? typewriter - Created a way for more people to write articles like the newspapers already being produced and discuss local affairs in different ways, without necessarily needing to buy a newspaper. However this meant it was much easier to produce news and for cheaper, which is more convenient for industries. Cameras- Cameras were very special when they were introduced because it provided a visual story as well as the written story. Cameras originally, as they were so new and rare, were expensive so people bought newspapers to see the photographs. Radio- Radio decreased circulation figures because is m...

Print newspapers in the 1960s and 2010s Newspapers in the 1960s were already fearing competition from other media – in this case, television. However, newspaper circulations were very high by today’s standards. The peak in newspapers’ circulation was in the early 1950s, with decline ever since. By 1965, circulation of Sunday newspapers had fallen to 25 million, which represented 1.4 newspapers per household (a fall from over 2 per household in the 1950s ), meaning that it was common to buy more than one Sunday newspaper. By comparison, total circulation of Sunday newspapers in 2010 was down to about 10 million, which represents about 0.4 per household. The segmentation of the newspaper market in the 1960s reflected the clear class and political differences in society: Labour supporting working class readers bought the Mirror , Conservative supporting working class readers bought the Daily Express ; the social ...
