Example text

As competition increased between the different publications, some printers moved out of London into the larger provincial towns, and at the beginning of the eighteenth century the first provincial newspapers emerged,4 although the growth of provincial newspapers was uneven. By 1792 fifty provincial newspapers existed in England, but there were only nine in Scotland and none in Wales (Williams 1998), as printers were attracted primarily to areas of prosperity (Cranfield 1962). News was a commodity, printed on a regular basis, in a ‘cycle of periodicity’ for profit (Conboy 2004:23).

Interestingly, today there are signs that ‘news by word of mouth, may be playing a larger and larger role as more traditional news genres decline’ (Hargreaves and Thomas 2002:5). However, with various technological developments came changes to the ways in which human language has been recorded and distributed, thereby providing communicators and recipients with a greater range of options beyond interpersonal communication. In preliterate cultures, stories and apocryphal tales would be passed by word of mouth to the next generation, with the likely consequence that anecdotes and memories were gradually modified over time, or as Carpenter (1946:5) suggests, they were ‘retold to suit their narrator and audience’ and often referred to conditions which were recognizable and recent.

PRINTING NEWS For some analysts an historical account of news begins with the origins of humanity and the development of language (Hartley 1988). Human communication of news and information has existed for as long as human beings have lived together, a necessary part of the human battle for survival, as well as for the establishment of some sense of social identity, order and belonging. Interestingly, today there are signs that ‘news by word of mouth, may be playing a larger and larger role as more traditional news genres decline’ (Hargreaves and Thomas 2002:5).
