Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time.  We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.  We also do sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint.  The press releases of the launch of the unsinkable Titanic is one such example (https://youtu.be/zEiAxw-u6PQ).

News of the Times Short #63 |  1896
The Story of: The Evils of Child Insurance
We went back and forth on the title of this rather unbelievable story. 

In essence without giving too much away: poverty, rent due, unwanted children. 
It was a very famous case in its day. and a reall success for the then newly formed NSPCC (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) 
Hosted by Robin Coles.
