The weekly magazine “Life and Court” (1911–1917) in the context of typological transformations of the press at the beginning of the 20th century

Section: History of Journalism

The compositional-graphic and content-thematic models of the specialized illustrated weekly magazine “Life and Court” were analyzed in the context of the typological development of the press at the beginning of the 20th century. Using the example of the magazine “Life and Court,” the influence of economic (the rise of capitalism), technological (the introduction of photography and new printing technologies), and social (urbanization) factors on the emergence of a unique eclectic format in the press at the beginning of the 20th century is explored. This hybrid format combined thematic specialization with a desire to broaden the range of issues covered, featured a diverse and sometimes excessive use of illustrations, and exhibited both a pragmatic commercial approach and civic engagement. For the first time, based on archival materials, the article uncovers the stages of the creative biography of Alexander S. Zalshupin, an enterprising publisher of the early 20th century.
