The panel discussion is open to invited guests. In their book, Barnhurst and Nerone explore the role that newspapers play in shaping our understanding and perceptions of key historical periods, which include political, cultural, social and artistic trends. With over 70 illustrations, the book explores the role of news in a democratic society, the relationship between news and visual culture and the way that newspapers have shaped the meaning of life.
Habitual readers enter it like a warm bath.
The book shows how each wave of newspaper redesign has made the information bath weaker, producing a less public and less energetic news environment.
