The Invention of News. How the World Learned About Itself
The author covers a period of nearly four centuries – from the pre-printing era to 1800, from the end of the Middle Ages to the French Revolution, intricately exploring the human instinct to seek news and the desire to be informed. A fascinating panorama of centuries unfolds before the reader, showcasing a truly multimedia exchange that includes all available means of disseminating news – conversations and rumors, civil ceremonies and celebrations, church sermons and proclamations in squares, and with the advent of the printing era – pamphlets, ballads, newspapers, and leaflets.
