| book description |

In the seventeenth century news was an investment in social relationships, a resource that concerned the interests of members of functional elites. Exchanging news entailed different forms of participation in functional elites and, thus, privilege. This business was part of the elitesâ€™ internal social structures; it constituted the fabric of all public institutions. This book questions notions of a print-based public sphere in the seventeenth century. It is based on contemporary tracts on newspapers, the court culture, and letter-writers, as well as news correspondences and other material from archives in the Baltic Sea Region and beyond. This book is a translation of: Das GeschÃ¤ft mit Nachrichten: Ein barocker Markt fÃ¼r soziale Ressourcen (Bremen: edition lumiÃ¨re, 2018).
