Reblogged from Early Modern News Networks:

Following on from our successful conference last month, News Networks is busy once again, this time in producing a two-volume edition that aims to re-evaluate the history of news in Europe. The aim of the project overall could be summarised as forging its own network in order to link and so affect scholars working in the field, discussing shared problems and different methods in order to come up with genuinely new approaches and cast light on the old.
Re-blogging (?) of a piece I wrote for the News Networks in Early Modern Europe project.
