İzmir’de İkame Bir Türkçe Mizah Dergisi: İlâve-i İntibah (1875)

Although Istanbul is the heart of the Ottoman press, İzmir is an important city for the Ottoman society to meet the "newspaper" phenomenon. The Turkish press in İzmir, where the press in foreign languages developed, started with the Aydın newspaper published in 1869. Aydın newspaper, which has the status of an official newspaper, was followed by the Devir newspaper published in 1872. The third Turkish newspaper published in İzmir, after Aydın and Devir newspapers is İntibah. Limited information is available about this newspaper, as no copies of it have survived. İntibah newspaper ordered new typeface and tools in order to eliminate the printing errors it experienced due to the typeface. In order not to leave the readers without a newspaper in the required time for the ordered material to reach İzmir, it decides to publish a copy named İlâve-i İntibah, printed with lithography. However, this initiative is not accepted by the official authorities. This study focuses on the copy named İlâve-i İntibah published by İntibah newspaper. The study aims to reveal that the İlâve-i İntibah copy is a humor magazine in terms of content and within this context, İzmir is the second Turkish humor magazine published after Kara Sinan, the first Turkish humor magazine. It is thought that the study will make a significant contribution to the literature on Turkish Press History, especially İzmir Press History.

Еще раз об андерсеновском следе в романе В. Набокова «Король, дама, валет» [Once Again on Hans Christian Andersen’s Presence in Vladimir Nabokov’s Novel _Korol’, dama, valet_ (_King, Queen, Knave_)]

This article is an inquiry into the possible origin of the title of Vladimir Nabokov’s second Russian novel King, Queen, Knave (Korol’, dama, valet, 1928). It proves a long-forgotten hypothesis that the title’s likely source is a lesser-known fairy-tale by Hans Christian Andersen, published in several translations into Russian in Berlin and Riga émigré newspapers at the very end of the 1920s. KEYWORDS: 20th-Century Russian Literature, Vladimir Nabokov (1899—1977), Korol’, dama, valet (1928), Hans Christian Andersen (1805—1875), Russian émigré Press, History of Literature.

Photography and Illustration

This chapter examines press images as an interaction between visual and technological/ economic constraints and opportunities of print technology in dialogue with other mediums of mass communication throughout the twentieth century, including an account of different workers and their expertise in visual production such as printers, graphic designers, art directors or commercial photographers. The opening question was why and how news images (initially technically challenging and expensive) have only gained in importance across the twentieth century. In addition, the narrative scope across Britain and Ireland in this collected press history allowed this chapter to engage with the role of news images in processes of nation building since the rise of Irish independence and to offer a different analysis from other accounts of visual journalism in press history, which may be either more general in scope, or focused on one specific time or place. Instead, the chapter examined diverging practices under the local cultural conditions developing in Ireland (South and North) and Great Britain, and the role of images within the ‘imagined communities’ sketched by particular publications as varied as Picture Post or An Phoblacht.

Introduction: Milestones in the History of the Twentieth-Century Press

This introductory chapter offers a new interpretation of twentieth century British press history by examining the changing ways in which owners, editors and journalists sought to address the British public in five milestone years – 1903, 1938, 1969, 1986 and, more briefly, 2011. Each section offers a brief overview of the industry at each of these crucial moments, before considering how the press tried to adapt both to new political, social and commercial opportunities, and to the challenges of the shifting media landscape. The central focus is on the most widely circulating and influential national (usually London-based) daily newspapers as a way of exploring some of the key trajectories of the wider industry.

Practices of Self-Censorship Among Nepali Journalists

Although Nepal has entered a new era of democracy and press freedom since 2006, self-censorship still exists in the reporting/editing of many Nepali journalists. Nepal has more than 100 years of press history, most of it has faced pressure from the government if not censorship. Drawing upon interviews with journalists, the chapter demonstrates how self-censorship is being practised in Nepali media houses as a result of state power, the culture of impunity, commercial interests, and political inclination of journalists. While highlighting these agents, the chapter also aims to explain the difference in practices of self-censorship by gender and type of news media.
