An Inky Business is a book about the making and printing of news.
It is a history of ink, paper, printing press and type, and of
those who made and read newspapers in Britain, continental Europe
and America from the British Civil Wars to the Battle of Gettysburg
in the United States nearly 200 years later. But it is also an
account of what news was and how the idea of news became central to
public life. Newspapers ranged from purveyors of high seriousness
to carriers of scurrilous gossip. Our current obsession with 'fake
news', the worrying revelations or hints about how money, power and
technology shapes and controls the press and flows of what is
believed to be genuine information, has dark early-modern echoes.
