The preceding chapters demonstrate how Rammohun Roy became a transnational celebrity through his religious and social reform activities. This status was amplified by free press and free trade activists who claimed the famous Bengali for their causes, extending his renown into political circles opposed to Old Corruption. Central to this story is James Silk Buckingham, whose improbable odyssey from provincial sailor to member of parliament owed everything to a stint as radical journalist and colonizing advocate in Calcutta. There he became a friend and ally of Rammohun. After his banishment to Britain, Buckingham helped reintroduce the famed Bengali to British audiences in the new guise of political radical. The current chapter will examine this process in the context of the campaign for a free press. In chapter 7, attention will be directed at the free trade movement, where others joined Buckingham in celebrating Rammohun.KeywordsSocial ProgressColonial RuleGood GovernmentBritish RuleEast India CompanyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Media Reporting, Mobility and Trauma

Last year saw the passing of the Communications Act, a measure which is likely to change the face of broadcasting in Britain quite as drastically, perhaps even more so, than the Broadcasting Act 1990. The enactment of this particular piece of legislation was the culmination of a lengthy process which kicked off in 1998 with the publication of the Green Paper Regulating Communications, which was followed in 2000 by the White Paper A New Future for Communications. The Draft Communications Bill was published in 2002; this was then subjected to pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee of the two Houses, chaired by David Puttnam, which published its report later in the year. As a result, the Bill was partially re-drafted; it was then presented to Parliament, which passed it in 2003. As someone who was involved, at that time as a media journalist, in the battles around the Broadcasting Bill in the late 1980s, I had an overwhelming sense of deja vu (or, rather, deja lu), when Regulating Communications appeared in 1998. Now, though, I was back in academia, but still equally concerned with matters of media policy and regulation, and keen to involve myself in the processes of consultation and lobbying which I knew lay ahead. However, over the next five years, it was not primarily as an academic that I found myself involved but, rather, as the Chair of the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom, and thus, in turn, as part of a loose alliance of NGOs and trade unions opposed to the Bill’s neo-liberal thrust. Fellow media academics were conspicuously thin on the ground, and of the tiny handful who poured enormous effort into trying to influence the Bill’s contents, the majority, in my view, did their most effective work under the auspices of bodies such as the Voice of the Listener and Viewer, the Campaign for Quality Television and the Third World and Environment Broadcasting Project. And now it’s consultation time yet again, with the run-up to BBC charter renewal and Ofcom consulting in all directions. Once more the

This chapter focuses on turn-of-the-century London. It discusses the United Kingdom's relatively broad civil liberties and open asylum policy which provided anarchists on the run with a safe haven in troubled times. However, as the chapter argues, for the revolutionary anarchists who lived for the smoldering tension of latent class war, safety could be stultifying. Many exiles struggled to survive, although some found work, and the Spanish Atrocities Committee and the anarchist German Club provided material support and food. Apart from linguistic and cultural challenges, they faced a powerful anti-Spanish prejudice. Therefore, many emigrated to continental Europe or the Americas. The chapter pays attention to some of those who journeyed across the ocean and were turned away at every port. It also uncovers how Catalan anarchist Joan Montseny and Teresa Mañé hatched a plan to launch a press campaign to free the remaining prisoners in Montjuich. The chapter assesses the implications of Montseny's decision to return to Spain on the reinvigoration of the Montjuich campaign. It considers the two monumental developments that were well out of Montseny's control: the Dreyfus affair in France and the Spanish–American War.
