In the late 1940s, a constant public and political pressure led a Royal Commission to conduct investigations into such alleged press practices as its monopolistic tendencies, its suspected bribery of film critics, its allowance of advertisers to dictate editorial policy, and its blacklisting of name figures that included Noel Coward, Haile Selassie, and Claire Luce. As a result of the Commission’s findings, in 1953 the first British Press Council was formed—a jury of respected journalists and laymen who ride herd on the press in Britain. This account by George Murray, one of the first chairmen of the Council and one of Britain’s best-known editorial writers, reviews the Council’s origins and tells the story of its battles in becoming a truly self-regulatory body. Because of the interest in creating a similar body in this country Mr. Murray’s account will have exceptional relevance to events in this country today.
Council housing is as much a part of the capital as Big Ben or Buckingham Palace; so why is it so much harder to find books that capture these often architecturally beautiful estates? Over the last few decades, we've seen council houses fall into disrepair and defamation. This book, written and photographed by Jack Young - who has spent the last two years visiting every corner of London to find the city's most unique structures - features beautiful images, personal interviews and design insights that celebrate some of our most vital urban buildings. A photographic celebration of some of London's most important and innovative council housing.
