Topic: Cherwell (newspaper)


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Cherwell (newspaper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cherwell newspaper is a student newspaper published by and for students of Oxford University.
Cherwell was conceived by two Balliol College students, Cecil Binney and George Edinger, on a ferry from Dover to Ostend during the summer vacation of 1920 while the students were travelling to Vienna to do relief work for the Save the Children charity.
In 1946 Cherwell was briefly banned by the university for distributing a survey on the sex lives of undergraduates, and in 1954 ran a series of pin-up photographs entitled "Girls of the Year".

Newspapers use photographs to illustrate stories; use editorial cartoonists, usually to illustrate writing that is opinion, rather than news; and also often include comic strips and other entertainment, such as crosswords and horoscopes.
Newspapers have been developed around very narrow topic areas, such as news for merchants in a specific industry, fans of particular sports, fans of the arts or of specific artists, and participants in the same sorts of activities or lifestyles.
In the yellow journalism era of the 19th century, many newspapers in the United States relied on sensational stories that were meant to anger or excite the public, rather than to inform.

Beginning with newspapers, magazines and television stations in his native Australia, Murdoch expanded into British and American media, and in recent years has become a powerful force in satellite television, the film industry, and other forms of media.
In his early years of newspaper ownership, Murdoch was an aggressive, micromanaging entrepreneur; the popular myth regarding this period suggests that his standard tactic was to buy loss-making Australian newspapers and turn them around by introducing radical management and editorial changes, and fighting no-holds-barred circulation wars with his competitors.
Newspapers report that Murdoch has bought TGRT in a partnership with Turkish recording mogul, Ahmet Ertegün and there are alleged reports that Murdoch has acquired Turkish citizenship to overcome the current obligations against capital sales to foreigners.

 University newspaper finds traces of cocaine at Oxford Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
An investigation by the Oxford University newspaper Cherwell has found cocaine traces in the Oxford Union, and numerous clubs and pubs frequented by the university's undergraduates.
Cherwell reporters, equipped with cocaine-testing kits, visited 17 venues regularly frequented by students and took samples from the lids, cisterns and other flat surfaces in lavatory cubicles.
Students contacted by the newspaper said drug dealers were attracted to Oxford because students were prepared to pay inflated prices for poor quality cocaine.

 Oscar Wilde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His behaviour cost him a dunking in the River Cherwell in addition to having his rooms (which still survive as dedicated function rooms at his old college) trashed, but the cult spread among certain segments of society to such an extent that languishing attitudes, "too-too" costumes and aestheticism generally became a recognised pose.
Aestheticism in general was caricatured in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta Patience (1881).
He was torn apart by no small number of critics — The Wasp, a San Francisco newspaper, published a cartoon ridiculing Wilde and Aestheticism — but also was surprisingly well received in such rough-and-tumble settings as the mining town of Leadville, Colorado.

In shorter form, the investigation that follows (here annotated) was written as a newspaper article, was invited in August 1999 by two of the Sunday broadsheets, but then went unpublished.
One result of this unusual tactic was that there was never, as is customary, a formal hearing to decide the question, a question whose implications if applied to other university presses would arguably make it one of the most important decisions in charity law this century.

The reasons Lachlan gave for his exit were his yearning for Australia, where he spent six years helping to oversee operations of the News Corporation there, and a desire to spend more time with his wife and infant son.
In his early years of newspaper ownership Murdoch was an aggressive, micromanaging entrepreneur, notably taking on British printers' unions to reduce his staff costs, and exploiting the selling power of soft-core erotica in the form of page three girls (such as Samantha Fox) to increase circulation.
During the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, all 175 Murdoch-owned newspapers worldwide editorialized in favor of the war.

 Possible Clinton Return To Oxford Gets Mixed Reviews -- 01/16/2003
Although Clinton attended the school in the late 60s and makes frequent trips to Britain, some observers on both the right and the left have since questioned whether Clinton's admitted affair with Monica Lewinsky, the furor over presidential pardons and other political scandals would disqualify him from the post.
Working in Clinton's favor, should he decide to run for the post, would be his fund-raising ability - the cash-strapped university is in need of a financial boost - and his popularity with Oxford undergrads.
The ex-president's daughter Chelsea is currently studying at Oxford, and according to a poll to be published Friday by university newspaper Cherwell, Clinton is the top choice for chancellor among the school's undergraduates.
