| Summary/Abstract |
The nineteenth-century news market offered benefits beyond sales incomes to opportunists functioning in local and global news markets. The owners of newspapers could come to terms with governments to publish in their favour. They could exploit political tensions among the Great Powers to manipulate governments into making agreements with them. They also utilized their influence upon groups of people to extract money from governments. The manipulation of news for personal gain is here investigated through the case of Selim Faris, journalist, son of author Ahmad Faris, manager of Al-Jawaib (1870-1884), owner of Hürriyet (1894-1897) and Khilafat-Hilafet, and author of The Decline of English Prestige in the East.

| Summary/Abstract |
Contemporary challenges in world politics, technology, economics, and social structures made suppliers of news significant for the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century. To preserve the Empire, policies that promoted centralization were pursued for decades. Improving transportation and communication systems was part of this centralization policy. However, because these technologies arrived in the Empire several years after its European counterparts founded, established, and extended these systems, it became dependent on foreign news agencies for supplying news. Finding their news biased and in favor of their home governments, Ottoman statesmen first tried to win them over by means of allowances and privileges, but enjoyed little success. As a result, the Empire founded the Ottoman Telegraph Agency. This article attempts to contribute to Ottoman press history by examining the creation of that agency.

| Summary/Abstract |
Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the influence of Baron Julius de Reuter and his famous agency, Reuters, was evident in his and his family's investments around the world. By looking at the histories of the Reuter Concession and the Greek Railway Concession, this work aims to offer insight into the international politics of certain governments and the value of news as a commodity at the time. The Reuter Concession illustrates part of the British-Russian conflict over Persia while the Greek Railway Concession demonstrates British policy toward the Ottoman Empire and Greco-Ottoman relations.
