/r/HistoryOfJournalism
There are many subreddits dedicated to journalism and news, and there are even more about niche historical topics. Since journalism, in its many forms, has been important throughout history, I thought it would be good to provide a forum for both the history and historiography of journalism of all forms and across all media. Subjects like muckraking, Hearst, Pulitzer, Murrow, etc., as well as the many issues journalists have tackled throughout history all come to mind.
Information:
This is a forum dedicated to both the history and historiography of journalism across all media. Submissions can range from any subject, time period, and world region, particularly since the rise of the news media. For example, any contemporary reporting or headlines on events as they happened can offer great insight; so can personal accounts and situations of journalists covering any story.
See /r/journalism for contemporary topics related to journalism.
