newspapers histories futures
John S. Knox
Macquarie University
Working with the axiom that all writing is multimodal, and building on the work
of other scholars, this paper maps the historical trajectory of written,
English-language, print 'news'. It then traces the development of writing
practices in the same (and closely-related) social institutions as they have
moved online, and to mobile devices, and to the social-media platform,
facebook. This 'arrow of history' (Nelson and Slaven, 2020) is used to
speculate about the future of newspaper institutions and their dissemination of
content.
