[ecrea] New book: History of the Press in the Portuguese-Speaking Countries

New e-book - Edited by Jorge Pedro Sousa, Helena Lima, António 
Hohlfeldt, Marialva Barbosa (2014). History of the Press in the 
Portuguese-Speaking Countries. Lisboa, Media XXI


This is the first book written in English about the history of the press 
in Portuguese-speaking countries. Its main purpose is to allow the 
international community to know more on the genesis and evolution of the 
written press in Portuguese in all four corners of the world, 
undertaking a reflection on its singularities and on the features it 
shares with the press in other languages. Its secondary goal is to 
contribute to acknowledgement of importance of the history of Journalism 
for the Lusophony, both as an historical phenomenon and as an object of 
study. Written by various authors, with different perspectives on 
history writing and on journalism studies, this book presents several 
reading approaches on specific periods of the history of the press in 
different Portuguese-speaking countries. The book also includes one 
chapter on the history of the press in Galicia, an autonomous province 
of Spain which confines with the North of Portugal and whose language is 
Galician, a co-dialect of Portuguese.
