This volume is the product of a network of scholars who research the history of news and who in recent years have come together to share their interests in various constellations and at various locations in Europe – notably in Trondheim in Norway and in Uppsala in Sweden We are firstly grateful to all the authors who have invested their time and energies in the essays that are gathered here. As editors – two of us based in Trondheim, one in Uppsala – we are very grateful to Andrew Pettegree, who is the author of the final essay, as well as the overall editor of the series of which the volume is a part. It was Andrew who connected the Trondheim and Uppsala nodes of the network and the result of the collaboration that followed is a collection of essays which has a wide and deliberately untypical geographical scope which we hope will encourage new reflections on the remarkable pathways along which news has travelled in its long history.
