This book analyses the significance of the special correspondent as
a new journalistic role in Victorian print culture, within the
context of developments in the periodical press, throughout the
second half of the nineteenth century. Examining the graphic
reportage produced by the first generation of these pioneering
journalists, through a series of thematic case studies, it
considers individual correspondents and their stories, and the ways
in which they contributed to, and were shaped by, the broader media
landscape. While commonly associated with the reportage of war,
special correspondents were in fact tasked with routinely
chronicling all manner of topical events at home and abroad. What
distinguished the work of these journalists was their effort to
'picture' the news, to transport readers imaginatively to the
events described. While criticised by some for its sensationalism,
special correspondence brought the world closer, shrinking space
and time, and helping to create our modern news culture.
