Book Description
A modern definition of the newspaper editorial is: a presentation of fact and opinion in a concise, logical, and pleasing order, written to entertain, to influence opinion, or to interpret significant news. In its beginnings from moralistic British ballads of the sixteenth century to statements of principles and policies dedicated to the public interest in the colonial period in both England and America, the development of the editorial was in this direction. Yet, as this study concludes, in its development in the late eighteenth century in this country the greatest contribution of the practitioners of the developing editorial did not come from the new trends and forms of commentary they set. Unwittingly, it came from their printing of political opinion influential and powerful enough to sway a people to form a new nation, a practice that has interesting parallels with the underground press in the United States today. In concentrating on the beginnings of the newspaper editorial, Mr. Hart is able to explore in depth the editorial's evolution and to document his account with examples which are as colorful as they are convincing. The result of his close investigation is the first comprehensive history of the newspaper editorial. Extensively indexed and documented, the work will be an invaluable reference work and an important new perspective on journalism in the colonial period in this country.

Letters to the Editor
Author: Allison Cavanagh
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030264807
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This book provides an account of current work on letters to the editor from a range of different national, cultural, conceptual and methodological perspectives. Letters to the editor provide a window on the reflexive relationship between editorial and readership identities in historical and international contexts. They are a forum through which the personal and the political intersect, a space wherein the implications of contemporaneous events are worked out by citizens and public figures alike, and in which the meaning and significance of unfolding media narratives and events are interpreted and contested. They can also be used to understand the multiple and overlapping ways that particular issues recur over sometimes widely distinct periods. This collection brings together scholars who have helped open up letters to the editor as a resource for scholarship and whose work in this book continues to provide new insights into the relationship between journalism and its publics.

The Writing Public
Author: Elizabeth Andrews Bond
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501753584
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Inspired by the reading and writing habits of citizens leading up to the French Revolution, The Writing Public is a compelling addition to the long-running debate about the link between the Enlightenment and the political struggle that followed. Elizabeth Andrews Bond scoured France's local newspapers spanning the two decades prior to the Revolution as well as its first three years, shining a light on the letters to the editor. A form of early social media, these letters constituted a lively and ongoing conversation among readers. Bond takes us beyond the glamorous salons of the intelligentsia into the everyday worlds of the craftsmen, clergy, farmers, and women who composed these letters. As a result, we get a fascinating glimpse into who participated in public discourse, what they most wanted to discuss, and how they shaped a climate of opinion. The Writing Public offers a novel examination of how French citizens used the information press to form norms of civic discourse and shape the experience of revolution. The result is a nuanced analysis of knowledge production during the Enlightenment. Thanks to generous funding from The Ohio State University Libraries and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes, available on the Cornell University Press website and other Open Access repositories.
