  • News Versus Opinion: the State, the Press, and the Northern Enlightenment
    chapter �3 News versus Opinion: The State, the Press, and the Northern Enlightenment Ellen Krefting The absolutist kingdom of Denmark-Norway may have been situated on the geographical as well as the cultural outskirts of eighteenth-century Europe, but this twin kingdom nonetheless took part in the transformation and ex- pansion of news transmission at the beginning of the Enlightenment period. Handwritten newsletters, printed broadsheets, pamphlets and ballads began circulating early in the seventeenth century. Networks of postal routes were connected directly and regularly to several European networks through Ham- burg, a centre for the dissemination of news about Europe and beyond. These networks made possible the first newspapers regularly printed in Copenha- gen, which were published from the 1660s in German and Danish.1 The popular craze for news became a literary topic early in the eighteenth century, just as in other, more central parts of Europe. The market for news, however, and for printed material in general, developed and expanded despite the heavy con- trols imposed by the Lutheran, absolutist state through the privilege system and strict censorship laws and procedures. Absolutism was introduced in 1660, with a Royal Law (Kongeloven) vest- ing all legislative, executive, judicial and fiscal power in the sovereign king. The market for print was placed under even stricter control in order to pro- tect absolutist power and religious uniformity. Scholars have traditionally seen absolutism as the main reason for the centralised and slow development of the printed news press, especially in the Norwegian part of the kingdom dur- ing most of the eighteenth century.

  • Universal POST*CODE® Database-Specific Faqs
    Addressing Knowledge Centre Universal POST*CODE® DataBase-specific FAQs 1 It is my understanding that the addresses all come in Latin-character scripts. However, their local version comes in different character scripts. I am trying to determine which character the addresses are in. Below is a listing of character scripts for data sets. We decided to list character scripts by data and not by country since we provide more than one data set for a certain group of countries, As regards character scripts, we provide datasets in Latin for almost all countries. If the original data are available only in the local character script we always try to develop the transliteration and get approval for it from the country. All non-Latin scripted data are kept in the main files. For each address element a pair of fields has been assigned to store two versions of name for this element: a name with diacritics or in local writing system (Arabic, Cyrillic, Hanzi, etc) and LOC_NAME_TRANS for storing a version of this locality name without diacritics and in Latin script. If a data set contains only names in non-Latin script (i.e. Arabic, Cyrillic, Hanzi, etc.) and Romanized names are not available, then these names are provided in the _TRANS fields. Most countries process addresses written in the Latin alphabet. Many of the countries which use a non- Latin script prefer incoming mail from abroad to be written in Latin since it increases the likelihood that the address has been written correctly.
