Example text

In this chapter I argue that the division into the international and the national has prevented us from seeing how early news was a product of cosmopolitan cities rather than of nation-states. In many academic fields, such as geography and sociology, researchers have already focused on the role of cities in global networks (for example Braudel 1979/1984; Castells 1989; Sassen 1991/2001; Taylor 2004). This has When News Was New Terhi Rantanen © 2009 Terhi Rantanen. ISBN: 978-1-405-17552-4 20 Cosmopolitanization not been the case in media studies, although cities are particularly interesting as an object of study for media and communications scholars.

In 1500 there were only four cities in Europe with populations of more than 100,000, but by 1800 there were 23. One of these, London had more than a million inhabitants (Burke 1994, 244). 8 Source: Hunter 1990, 112. Braudel’s approach is accordingly longue durée. He defines as historical world cities Venice, Antwerp, Amsterdam, London, and New York, which over time dominated and then replaced one other. He writes (1979/ 1984, 32) Venice was replaced by Antwerp that was replaced by Amsterdam that was replaced by London that was replaced by New York [.

The use of private digital networks is easy to observe in many instances, including financial firms and diasporic groups in cosmopolitan cities when they use media and communications beyond their location. In this way, a transnational company is less and less dependent on national/state networks. Or a British Pakistani in London does not necessarily watch the BBC news but instead goes to the website of Daily Pakistan in Lahore or to Pakistan Link in Los Angeles. This does not mean that they are completely free of their nation-states they are located in.
