Through fourteen original essays by leading historians and media
scholars, "Anglo-American Media Interactions" reveals the
complicated ways in which British and American media have
influenced each other over the past two centuries. In doing so, it
adds an important transatlantic dimension to a media scholarship
that normally remains within strictly national contexts, while
demonstrating the crucial and varied ways in which media have
helped build an Anglo-American 'special relationship'.
This scholarly work deals specifically with the important changes
in popular journalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. A pioneering study in the history of journalism, it is
the first volume to focus on the history of the New Journalism in
Britain, which is central in the overall history of the modern
press. Written by leading scholars representing a variety of
disciplines, the fourteen essays provide a careful historical
analysis of the transformation that took place in journalism, and
the innovations that occurred, such as the greater use of
illustrations and photographs, headlines and crossheads, and
increased coverage of human interest subjects. The authors take
different positions on aspects of the New Journalism, and the book
offers a wealth of new information based on original research, as
well as lively, interpretive commentary on the nature of change in
modern journalism and its relationship to popular culture. The
in-depth examination of major subject areas, such as The Beginnings
of the New Journalism, The Flowering of the New Journalism, and
Subjects and Audiences, dispels the simplistic view of the New
Journalism as occurring within a short period of time by showing
that the changes took place slowly and had many ramifications. The
annotated bibliography includes studies of individual newspapers
and biographies of some of the leading journalists.
This volume consists of fifteen essays by leading scholars dealing
with the Victorian editor and his influence on the culture of his
time. The first section analyzes the relationship between Victorian
editors and their audience. The essays show how editors effectively
balanced fiction and politics, how social change effected
periodical publishing, and how editors dealt with Victorian sexual
and moral preoccupations. The second section places the editor in
the context of his profession. By focusing on specific editors and
their journals, the third section sheds additional light on the
themes developed in the first two. To complete the book, a
bibliographic essay offers new information about the published
sources available for further research on the nineteenth-century
editor.
