Description: The News Revolution in England by C. John Sommerville Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book analyses the essential feature of periodical media, which is their periodicity. The story of the first century of periodical production in England shows how soon the public acquired a news consciousness which was at odds with the "print consciousness" which Marshal McLuhan described. Publisher Description The News Revolution in England: Cultural Dynamics of Daily Information is the first book to analyze the essential feature of periodical media, which is their periodicity. Having to sell the next issue as well as the present one changes the relation between authors and readers--or customers--and subtly shapes the way that everything is reported, whether politics, the arts and science, or social issues. So there are certain biases that are implicit in thedynamics of news production or commodified information, quite apart from the intentions of journalists. With the birth of the commercial periodical in late seventeenth century England, news became acommodity. What constituted news, how it was presented and received, and how people responded to it underwent a fundamental change. Rather than any democratic print revolution, in which the masses suddenly had access to cheap and accessible information, C. John Sommerville shows that the arrival of the commercial press was in fact restrictive, dictating what was discussed and ultimately how it was discussed. The News Revolution in England looks at the history of journalismfrom an entirely different angle--the effect of the medium rather than the intentions of the journalists. It will be of interest to historians of England, journalism, and news, along with anyone interested inhow the media shapes our world and how we come to relate to it. Author Biography Sommerville is professor of English history, Emeritus, at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. His other books include The News Revolution in England and The Secularization of Early Modern England. Details ISBN 0195106679 ISBN-13 9780195106671 Title The News Revolution in England Author C.
