Camden New Journal
Résumé
The Camden New Journal is a British independent newspaper published in the London Borough of Camden. It was launched by editor Eric Gordon in 1982 following a two-year strike at its predecessor, the Camden Journal. The newspaper was supported by campaigning journalist Paul Foot and former Holborn and St Pancras MP Frank Dobson. It carries significant influence locally, due to its high news content, investigations and large circulation.
It is frequently critical of local and national government, which has led to attacks by national government ministers, as well as local councillors, unusually for a local paper. On being awarded its second Press Gazette Free Newspaper of the Year award in 2005, the judges praised how the paper kept its "huge local council on its toes with exclusive after exclusive".
The Camden New Journal has its origins in 1872, when the Holloway Press began. In 1875, the newspaper was renamed the North Metropolitan and Holloway Press before becoming the Holloway Press in 1880, the Islington & Holloway Press in 1923, and the North London Press from 1942.
From 1964, separate editions of the North London Press were published for Islington and Camden, before the publications separated in February 1971 to form the Holloway & Islington Journal and the Camden Journal, the former being discontinued in 1974.
The Camden Journal continued until the 1980s when Eric Gordon bought the newspaper from Courier Press for £1 following a 16-month strike that started when nine journalists were dismissed in December 1980 upon the closure of the original Camden Journal. Camden Labour backed the journalists and on 3 January 1981 they helped distribute the first edition of Save the Journal. A campaign was launched that was backed by journalists at the Hornsey Journal and Islington Gazette and NUJ members in Nuneaton, Leamington Spa, Rugby, Haverfordwest, Ammanford and London's suburban papers. The campaign succeeded, with the publication being turned into a free newspaper and re-launched as the Camden New Journal on 25 March 1982.
