Abstract

And like in London, these national and subnational divisions are not without meaning, since D/E/G/N papers reference the distinctive institutions of Maghrebi governments - their Emperors, Deys, Pashas, Ambassadors, and individual relations with the Ottoman Empire and Europe - nearly as often as their London counterparts. The first consistent Irish newspapers (excluding several short-lived papers dedicated to new rulers or particular significant events) appeared in the 1680s and 1690s, yet by the early eighteenth century were "a permanent feature in the daily life of Dublin" (these early newspapers' impact on people outside major cities was much more tenuous; see below). Like the vast majority of London papers through the early eighteenth century, shaped by the I London Gazette i 's example, by the fear of reimposed censorship, and by an audience with interests in trade and global power, early D/E/G/N papers focused heavily on "factual" news with minimal political comment, often drawing on French, Dutch, and other European prints but primarily from London papers themselves.
