Book Description
"Many newspapers in New Zealand have celebrated their anniversaries by publishing special numbers recording their individual histories. "Newspapers in New Zealand" is the first comprehensive history recording every paper published since 1839, when the Father of our Press, Samuel Revans, issued in London his "New Zealand Gazette". The present author had a background of 30 years experience on New Zealand newspapers when he became Parliamentary Librarian and was able to study and develop the remarkable collection of newspapers in the General Assembly Library. The subject was treated bibliographically in a Union Catalogue published in 1938. The present volume tells the story of some 500 newspaper ventures, with special reference to the personalities engaged: some of them dominating figures, like Vogel, Fenwick, Brett, Horton and the Blundells; others quaint and romantic like Revans himself, Joseph Ivess, the doyen of the "rag-planters", Thomas Bracken and William Shaw. The great successes in our journalism were generally unspectacular, but the failures, sadly numerous, have yielded epic stories." -- Inside front cover.

The Making of the New Zealand Press
Author: Patrick Day
Publisher: Victoria University Press
ISBN: 9780864730893
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"Who owned the first newspapers in New Zealand and how did they get started? What were the logistics of such an enterprise? What sort of readership did they attract? What exactly was the role of the newspaper in colonial society? Patrick Day gives a comprehensive account of the evolving forms and functions of newspapers in this crucial period. He describes those changes which saw newspapers shift from being political discussion forums for higher status politicians to profit oriented businesses concerned with advertising and newsgiving. Offering a revealing picture of how power was organised through a nascent press, this book is a significant contribution to our understanding of the forces that shaped journalism."--Back cover.

New Zealand's London
Author: Felicity Barnes
Publisher: Auckland University Press
ISBN: 1775581292
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
Antipodean soldiers and writers, meat carcasses and moa, British films and Kiwi tourists—throughout the last 150 years, people, objects and ideas have gone back and forth between New Zealand and London, defining and redefining the relationship between this country and the colonial center that many New Zealanders once called home. Exploring the relationship between a colony and its metropolis from Wakefield to the Wombles, it answers questions, including How did New Zealanders define themselves in relation to the center of British culture? and How did New Zealanders view London when they walked through King's Cross or saw the city in movies? By focusing on particular themes—from agricultural marketing to expatriate writers—this discussion develops a larger story about the construction of colonial and national identities.
