The New Newspapers of Learned Things , initiated by Johann Gottlieb Krause in 1715, were a scientific journal from the early 18th century. As a weekly paper, they tried out the short message in scientific reporting in the style of current newspapers .
The journal originally appeared in Leipzig by Theophil Georgi and Johann Grosses Erben . Gosses Buchhandlung acted as the main publisher up to issue no. 52, 1718. A change to Johann Christian Martini followed with this issue. From No. 8 to No. 9 there was another change to the Post-Newspaper Expedition, which was only called Newspaper Expedition on the annual title. The magazine appeared weekly in 1715 and 1716, and later twice weekly. The first series of publications ended in 1784. The project was taken up again as New Leipzig learned newspapers (Leipzig: Breitkopf, 1785–1787). Between 1718 and 1737 the sheet included a supplement, the Nova litteraria eruditorum in gratiam divulgata , inspired by the Nouvelles littéraires, first published in 1715 .
Problem and design
Since the 1660s, monthly review organs had come onto the market, some of which brought reviews of considerable length and opinion into circulation. Against this, criticism increased: The original goal of surveying the market and delivering judgments on books would be missed by the monthly journals; they remained too selective and developed too personal reporting, so the criticism.
The editors have allegedly been thinking about a journal of the format for a long time. The Nouvelles littéraires, just published in The Hague, gave the impetus for publication . The publication cycle was shortened to a week, the sheet itself limited to eight pages, half a sheet of paper , octave. It was decided to publish news from literature , ie the "learned world".
With the newspaper format, a new short report style came onto the market. The Journal did not name the book reviewed below in a heading, and then devoted a few pages to it; Instead, it named the location of the reporting and then noted which books had just come out in this location and what “one” said to them, usually half a sentence with a quality rating that was not assigned to a source.
Both the judgments and the reports actually came from an evaluation of international, mostly monthly journals that were noted in the annual register. With the short reports, the organ gained the opportunity to offer market overviews in a timely manner. Projects in the tradition of this journal in Germany in the 1730s were the Göttingen newspapers on learned things and the literary Centralblatt Friedrich Zarncke, which appeared from 1850 into the 20th century .
