Premier quotidien français, le Journal de Paris innove la périodicité de la presse à la fin de l’Ancien Régime. A sa parution quotidienne et à la recherche de la diversité de l’information le Journal ajoute sa forme épistolaire, censée le tranformer dans une “correspondance familière et journalière des citoyens d’une même ville”. C’est à la fois sa périodicité quotidienne qui assure son succès et lui attire de nombreux ennemis, dans le contexte d’une presse en pleine expansion et lourdement soumise à la censure. Si le domaine politique lui est interdit, le Journal de Paris se concentre, dès sa parution, sur le thème de l’utilité publique et sur les beaux-arts. Il accorde une place importante au discours sur les arts visuels (peinture, sculpture, gravure, architecture, urbanisme) et propose à ses abonnés un tableau de l’actualité artistique, sous la plume d’un correspondant pour les arts stable, dans la personne d’Antoine Renou, peintre et secrétaire adjoint de l’Académie de peinture et de sculpture. Malgré la censure imposée à la presse par l’institution académique, qui possède le monopole d’une grande partie du domaine des arts visuels, le débat sur les arts mené dans le Journal de Paris révèle un public des arts plus large et plus varié, passionné par l’expression critique et la circulation des idées. / The “Journal de Paris” first French newspaper renews the press standards at the end of the Old Regime.Through its daily publication and its research for a different type of information, the newspaper aims at becoming a more familiar correspondence among the citizens of a same town.Thanks to its daily publication it has been successful drawing lots of enemies as well due to a widely spreading press hardly submitted to censorship.The “Journal de Paris”, being the political field strongly forbidden, focuses its attention on public services and fine arts and architecture.It gives a very important place to visual arts (painting, sculpture, engraving, architecture, town planning) proposing to its subscribers a portrait of the artistic panorama carried out by one of a stable correspondent for arts, Antoine Renou, painter and assistant secretary for the Academy of paintings and sculpture.Despite the censorship imposed to the press by the academic institution, having the monopoly of a large part of the visual arts field, the debate upon the arts carried in the “Journal de Paris” shows a larger and more varied arts-oriented public, fascinated by the critical expression and the spreading of ideas.

Both popular and scholarly observers have portrayed New Orleans as a city both supported and burdened by its image as a diverse cultural other within the American South, historically tolerant of certain sins of the flesh. This image has been used by proponents and critics alike in order to push their respective agenda regarding the Crescent City. This thesis will not seek to discredit this image that is based largely on fact. However, using Prohibition as a case study, this thesis will use letters to the editor to uncover attitudes of New Orleanians in opposition to this reputation to reveal alternative and historically silenced voices of New Orleans, since for instance people of a certain age, gender, or ethnicity were silenced in the halls of government. This paper will reveal the opinions of New Orleanians regarding Prohibition and what these opinions can tell us about New Orleans’s image.

Studies on letters to the editor examine many areas, including function of the letters column. Much agenda-setting research focuses on media influence, though the principles have been applied to many fieldsThis content analysis combined the two areas in an effort to measure how letters to the editor might reflect the agenda set by a newspaper.The study evaluated all letters and news stories that appeared in The Truth during June, July, and August 2004. Items were sorted into content categories, regions of coverage, and page position to see if a relationship existed between stories and subsequent letters.The findings suggest that readers respond strongly to an agenda of local news and are more likely to write about front-page stories. Furthermore, the strong response of letter writers to other letters led the author to conclude that letters themselves can play a role in the agenda-setting process. / Department of Journalism
