How Typographers and Subeditors Used to Influence Newspaper Content and Materiality

Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss two unfamiliar actors of the process of information production in the newspaper: typographers and subeditors. I focus on a particular aspect of the continuum of information production: the prepress. Subeditors and typographers made the newspaper together and in their own respective ways. Traces of these collaborations can be found in the newspaper object – and that is what I am going to try to demonstrate here.
