'Jonathan Silberstein-Loeb further advances our understanding of
news agenda history from business, information economics and
political economy perspectives. Based on thorough archival
research, including extended research in the Reuters archives in
London and the AP corporate news archives in New York, the volume
offers a new and valuable perspective on the development and
operation of news agencies over the century between 1848 and 1947 …
It provides an original and insightful analysis of the structure
and operation of news markets, both domestic and international, and
is well grounded in existing literature on the subject.' Media
History
'This study of the first century of major world news agencies goes
over ground that others have described … but is updated here with
the aid of much newly available archival evidence … The insightful
comparison of issues and players in the United States and Britain
helps shed light on both countries.' Journalism and Mass
Communication Quarterly
'An ambitious, meticulously researched book that successfully
integrates business and media histories. It skilfully weaves a
large volume of archival material into a convincing synthetic
explanation of the making of an Anglo-American-led global news
distribution system … Essential reading for specialist readers
interested in news, information management, state-media relations,
or business organization in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries.' Mark Hampton, The American Historical Review
