[edit] Started article

I've begun writing this article as a stand-alone, but will reference it in the Journalism article. I have permission - via email from the author - to borrow informaton and quotes from the source cited below, and will include citations for any quotes. This is a work in progress, so please be gentle with it until I have finished it. Gladmax 04:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


This is extremely incomplete thus far. There needs to be more and better resources than the single source mentioned below (ie one person's lecture notes). The early-modern period in England needs work especially, given that this is the EN Wikipedia. I'll try to get something going in December on that, hopefully.--Spudstud 18:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Plagiarism?

I may be borrowing too many words from the source article. I have the author's permission to quote from his article, as long as quotes are attributed, and I plan to do that. However, sometimes it's hard to rewrite his words. All I am putting in comes from his lecture notes. I hope to add information from other sources as time goes by, to make it multi-source.

Anybody who would like to pitch in with information from other sources, please be my guest and help improve this article.

[edit] Unbalanced -- too much on America

Sorry but it reads like a History of US Journalism with a few token facts about the rest of the world. The US section should be cut back—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.186.8.10 (talk • contribs) 09:13, October 17, 2006 (UTC).

  • It should also be "United States" when referring to the U.S. -- not "America" -- RCEberwein | Talk 18:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
