- Title
The Ecology of Wireless Newspapers: Publishing on Islands and Ships, 1899-1913.
- Authors
Arceneaux, Noah
- Abstract
The phenomenon of "wireless newspapers" at the beginning of the twentieth century combined journalism and airwave transmissions. Years before radio became a mainstream medium, newspapers used and promoted wireless telegraphy to send stories for publication on sea-going vessels and on two islands off the coast of the United States. Drawing on archival research, this historical study uses the concept of media ecology to analyze the factors involved in the introduction and fate of a new technology designed to meet the demand for the latest information.
