Summary
Giovanni Gozzini: The History of Journalism
The history of journalism is the history of those who dedicated their lives to a new craft, made it independent from other professions and created social power from it. It is precisely this power of the information system that is the subject of constant debate, which, depending on the circumstances, exalts or demonizes it. This book presents a complex picture of the press, which is simultaneously freedom and law, cultural industry and private monopoly, an instrument of power. It traces the historical development of journalism - from the first newspapers of the Chinese emperors to the Internet - in order to highlight similarities and differences, role models and imitations, precursors and late arrivals
