“Free Market, Free Press? The Political Economy of News Reporting in the Anglo-American World since 1688” brings together a distinguished group of historians and media scholars to chart the evolution of the news business in two of the most important media markets: the United Kingdom and the United States. Coverage of the current economic crisis in the news business raises many questions about its history. How was news reporting funded in the past? To what extent was its funding contingent on institutional arrangements that no longer exist? To what extent has its funding been sustained by institutional arrangements other than market demand? These questions inform the nine papers that will be presented and discussed during our 17 November conference.
