- Special Correspondence is the longer-form output resulting from an AHRC-funded research project analysing the significance of the ‘special correspondent’ as a new journalistic role in the context of developments in the periodical press throughout the second half of the 19th century. At 89,000 words, it represents the culmination of ten years of research in the vast archive of 19th-century British, American and Australian newspapers. Bringing this new breed of newspaper reporter back into the spotlight, the study highlights the extraordinary nature of their achievements and recovers an important part of the legacy of Victorian print culture for modern journalism.
