newspaper

We should know that more than one historian tried to write the history of the press, and among these historians is the author of this book, George Ville, who was a professor of journalism at the University of Caen in France, and every historian of the press from different nations and nationalities tried to history it from his national point of view. As for George Fell, he departed from what was followed by historians of journalism who preceded him and contemporaries, and produced for us a complete and comprehensive book of its history in all countries and nations. He tried to be completely accurate in the information and ideas he provided, and to draw a complete picture that included every stage of the growth of journalism. And the difficulties it encountered over the years, since its inception, and it was concerned with collecting accurate statistics on all newspapers in the world. George Fell's study of journalism was not limited to its technical aspects, but rather he treated it from its financial and social aspects, and studying these aspects is of great importance for anyone wishing to understand the secrets of this profession and the factors for its success and prosperity.
