| Summary: | This history of early modern news focuses on news itself rather than specific material forms. Centering on movement through different media, time and place, it makes the case for a truly comparative, pan-European history of news. After the introduction, the second section, News Moves, explores how we think about and research news culture and news communication, demonstrating movement is more important than static forms. The third, News Sings, focuses on news ballads, comparing actors, publics, music and soundscapes of ballad singing in several European cities, highlighting the central role of immaterial elements, such as sound, music and voice. The fourth, News Counts, argues that seeing news the way a machine might read it through its metadata is one way of moving beyond form, allowing us to find surprising commonalities in news cultures which differ greatly in both time and place. |
