NEWSPAPERS ONLINE: Technology and information. The first newspapers. Economic and social change is accompanied by newspapers through a sort of generations: the first is that of Benjamin Franklin’s political journalism. The “Gazettes” describe the first liberal revolutions that developed in the old continent with the French Revolution of 1789, and in the new continent with the American War of Independence which led to the signing of the US Declaration of Independence in 1776; it is journalism that participates in the creation of modern public opinion. In the late 19th century, newspapers are aimed at a mass audience: it is the second generation, that of commercial journalism. A first consequence is the birth of press magnates, news becomes a commodity and the newspaper is its means of communication; the economic management of the publishing landscape of the old and new continent changes. In Europe we find Lord Northcliffe and he brings about a real revolution in the economic organization of the press. He purchased numerous daily newspapers, Sunday papers and illustrated periodicals; He introduced economies of scale in the daily press which, combined with simple language, brought him closer to the mass public, conquering it. In 1908, thanks to the economic income deriving from the concentration of advertising achieved, the Harmsworths acquired the authoritative “The Times”, the largest English daily newspaper directed by an equally authoritative figure, John Thaddeus Delane; Lord Nothcliffe, with his newspapers Daily Mail, Evining News, etc., also managed to influence the choices of the English government during the First World War.
