POPULISM
V
PURPOSE
THE NEW JOURNALISM & THE EARLY BRITISH
LEFT
PRESS FOR THE PEOPLE
• The New Journalism: An
‘Americanized’ Revolution in
Newspaper Language, Style
and Subject Matter (Wiener,
2011).
• Defined by hugely popular new
dailies – the Mail, Express and
Mirror.
• Unprecedented success of
newspapers “produced by (and)
for office boys”.
• A press that offered vibrant,
diverse content that mass
readerships wanted to read
(Conboy, 2002; Bingham and
Conboy, 2015).
POLITICS FOR THE PEOPLE
• Labour: 42 MPs
and over 400,000
votes by 1910.
• Policies: Welfare;
“assaults on
feudalism”; Taff
Vale reversal.
• Mindsets: Mass-
public interests
moving to the heart
of politics
HISTORICALLY SEPARATE
• New Journalism: Wider Media Narratives
• Early Labour: Political Histories
• Reality: Two, different phenomena keenly
interested in gaining mass support
• Similar aims & audiences; different
messages & intentions
THE “YELLOW” PRESS
• Hostile reactions from across the political left
• “Yellow”: Cheap, trashy, sensationalist.
• “Capitalist”: Greedy, the ‘enemy’.
• At odds with the ‘labour mission’.
A VOICE OF THEIR OWN
• Calls for a ‘daily’
• Letters to MPs
• Editorials
• A need to ‘fight back’
Labour’s daily, eight-page national newspaper (1912-1915)
THE DAILY CITIZEN
MIXED MESSAGES
• SPORT
• GOSSIP
• CRIME
• BETTING TIPS
• SENSATION
• LABOUR NEWS
• STRIKES
• GLOBAL
SOCIALISM
• LEFTIST
SCEPTICISMS
THEIR VIEWS AND OURS
WHAT IS A WORKER?
• Pages of the Citizen played out a wider ideological divide
within the early Labour movement.
• ‘Yellow’ Press = rival educator
• Success of dailies clashed with existing leftist understandings
of how to speak to, and understand, the mass working public.
• Citizen and other leftist press reactions inform history of a
party, and movement, struggling towards acceptance of mass
political communication (Beers, 2010).
