The history and historiography of journalism

There are many subreddits dedicated to journalism and news, and there are even more about niche historical topics. Since journalism, in its many forms, has been important throughout history, I thought it would be good to provide a forum for both the history and historiography of journalism of all forms and across all media. Subjects like muckraking, Hearst, Pulitzer, Murrow, etc., as well as the many issues journalists have tackled throughout history all come to mind.
