内容简介
The history of the newspaper is a fascinating one. Starting with the sixteenth century, with ballads, primers and pamphlets, through Dr. Johnson, the radical press, and Lord Northcliffe, right up to Rupert Murdoch and the online revolution, Kevin Williams explores the impact of the newspapers on our lives. Using lively and entertaining examples he illustrates the changing form of the newspaper in its social, political, economic and cultural context. As well as telling the story of the newspaper, he explores key topics in detail: newspapers and war, the changing face of regional newspapres, the impact of new technology. Is new technology a threat to the newspaper and print journalism, or will the newspaper mutate successfully once again? This book is ideal reading for students of journalism and the British media.
