Disinformation in Mass Media - Gluck, Piccinni and the Journal de Paris (Paperback): Beverly Jerold Disinformation in Mass Media - Gluck, Piccinni and the Journal de Paris (Paperback)
Beverly Jerold; Series edited by Simon Keefe
R852 Discovery Miles 8 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The founding in 1777 of the Journal de Paris, France's first daily and distinctly commercial paper, represents an early use of disinformation as a tool for political gain, profit, and societal division. To attract a large readership and bar competition for C.W. Gluck's works at the Paris Opera, it launched a prolonged campaign of anonymous lies, mockery, and defamation against two prominent members of the Academie Francaise who wished the Opera to be open to all deserving composers but lacked a comparable daily forum with which to defend themselves. In this unique episode, music served as a smokescreen for nefarious activity. No musical knowledge is necessary to follow this purely political drama.
