The living library of knowledge
Medieval propaganda
With the 1480 Siege of Rhodes, we start to see the first use of the word ‘news’ in English to mean reports of recent events. You can reconstruct in quite a lot of detail who has the interest in the news, who has the means to produce the news, and you can locate that in particular moments in time, in cities, in political contexts.
