UK: St Bride’s Church for press 50th anniversary needs your newspaper
St Bride’s Church, in the heart of London’s Fleet Street, has been the spiritual home of the press for the last 500 years. To celebrate the 50th anniversary since its rededication (following its restoration after World War 2), St Bride’s is holding a series of special events about the press, including a special Harvest Festival Service, on Oct. 14. The Church is asking editors from around the world to send in their newspaper to be displayed on this occasion.
St Bride’s has been known as the press’ church since the 16th century, when the Fleet Street area abounded with print presses and later newspaper-making facilities. The Church was almost entirely destroyed on Dec. 29 1940, before it was restored and rededicated on Dec. 19 1957.
The Harvest special will be focused on the harvest of the printed word and will constitute, according to the St Bride’s website, “a World Record attempt for the number of newspapers displayed in one place at one time.” St Bride’s is inviting editors and journalists worldwide to send in a copy of their paper.

In study by Jane Singer, journalists are welcome to the idea of a convergence environment. Cultural clashes occur during the execution process. The existing newsroom cultural struggles with accepting a varying newsroom structure.
In a separate study by Gracie Lawson-Border, the execution of a transition to convergence occurs differently different newsrooms. What works for one may not work for another. Lawson-Border, also, provides seven suggestions to assist in the integration process.
Lawson-Border, Gracie. (2003). Integrating New Media and Old Media: Seven Observations of Convergence as a Strategy for Best Practices in Media Organizations. JMM: The International Journal on Media Management, Vol. 5 Issue 2, p.91-99.
Singer, Jane B. (2004). Strange Bedfellows? The diffusion of convergence in four news organizations. Journalism Studies, Vol. 5 Issue 1, p.3-18.
This comes as good news for us new (wet behind the ears) journalists. This industry has long been hogged by experienced honchos - who constantly undermine our efforts without even batting an eyelid.
Be warned: The fresh out of Varsity generation is armed to the teeth when it comes to matters of convergence. :-)
