Across the six decades, the names of the accused were published three times as frequently as the names of the victims. The research further reveals that legislative changes restricting the media’s power to report name details of accused persons had no discernible effect on how frequently accused child killers were named in the period. However, particular factors such as the murderer’s relationship to the victim, the murderer’s gender, and the salaciousness of the crime, appear to have had some impact on the media’s decisions to name those involved.KEYWORDS: Crime reportingchild killinghomicidenaming patternsnews media Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Wood and Knepper, “Crime Stories”, 345.2 Sacco, “Media Constructions of Crime”, 141.3 Gruenewald, Pizarro & Chermak, Race, Gender, and Newsworthiness; Katz, “What Makes Crime News?”; Rowbotham, Stevenson and Pegg, Crime News.4 Gekoski.

While this article acknowledges that most English-language press titles in that country were few compared to the French-Ottoman press and resorted to French at one moment or another in their history, it investigates a body of English-Ottoman serials that proclaimed some connection to Britain or the US over the period 1841–1923 in order to expose the complex and multidirectional power relationships between British/American Levantine editors, British/American diplomatic actors, the Ottoman State, and readers (both in the Ottoman Empire and beyond). What did it mean to publish an English-Ottoman serial? Considering language as a social practice that helps reconcile the local and the global in the context of the foreign language press, this article seeks to understand motivations behind English-language serial publishing in the Ottoman Empire and how a mix of local/global constraints shaped titles like The Levant Herald (1856–1914).KEYWORDS: English-foreign-language pressFlexi-language pressOttoman censorshipThe Levant Heraldcapitulationsentangled history Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 A sign of this interest was a discussion on H-Turk in January 2011, launched Prof. Wayne H.

It links history of media perspectives on early television, on children’s diet and on culinary education. The show follows the cultural-pedagogical logic of early television by teaching cooking techniques to girls and boys. However, it promoted gendered roles in the kitchen and focused on culinary heritage. The multiple technical challenges inherent in putting children in a studio kitchen show that moving in front of cameras and in a kitchen, also, is the result of a learning process conducted by the adults. Finally, the educative aim of the programme is weighed against the recipes the children prepared, which both mirrored (sugar) and contradicted (alcohol) public child nutrition discourse, especially that delivered in schools.KEYWORDS: Cookerychildren's cooking showTV studio kitchenfoodhealthFrance AcknowledgementsThis article has benefited from the ideas and suggestions of many people, especially the editors Tricia Close-Koenig, Alex Mold, Lukas Herde, Philip Stiasny and the BodyCapital team.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Sarah et les Marmitons, Arte (2009); Junior Bake Off, BBC (2011–2016), Channel 4 (2019–); Kids Baking Championship (Food Network (2015–).2 See Ariès, L’enfant et la vie ; Rollet, Les enfants au XIXe.
