Lecture 10/19/09

Today was used as another review session in which we covered the types of font that changed the way our culture operated and functioned. From bold and italics, to drop capitals and HTML script.

We also reviewed important events in history as they pertained to media such as the John peter Zenger trial, The Penny Press and Harper's Weekly.

  • Zenger
this was of importance because it established journalistic truth as defense against libel

  • Harper's Weekly
Published portrait of Lincoln along with Cooper's Union speech.
This humanized Lincoln so that the common man could relate to him and see him as more than what he was believed to be

  • Penny Press
Newspaper for the working class people and their interests
