在数字化之前，报纸研究主要是由历史学家进行的政治、地方、社会、文化、艺术、科学、法律的或文学，他们有理由和时间慢慢地在笨重和干燥的大报中搜索，或者当纸质副本不可用时，管理缩微胶片。虽然绝大多数历史学家查阅报纸内容以寻找其他主题，但少数人研究了媒体本身。以数字形式重新调解历史报纸不仅唤醒了成千上万的后来读者对19世纪的新闻，而且使他们能够广泛，深入和快速地搜索。此外，印刷资料库的内容也有相当大的增加：新的历史媒体数字版提供了一个机会，可以在个别图书馆可能存在空白的地方创建完整的运行;与印刷品不同，出版中的错误可以很容易地纠正，最初数字化的语料库可以在发现报纸问题或补充材料时扩展，用户可以在通讯栏、回答和销售中对版本进行评论或更正，以反映印刷媒体与其第一读者之间的互动。然而，这种灵活性只是技术的一种潜力，仍然取决于商业出版商是否愿意为不定期的质量控制提供员工和时间。尽管如此，一些出版商已经提供了更正，扩展和更新。如果出版商允许，理论上也可以将数字出版的研究论文与历史档案联系起来，以便与感兴趣的人分享工作，并围绕来源建立当前研究的轨迹，可以现场讨论。NINES是一个支持用户共享和交换的平台。[1]大量19世纪的报纸标题的出现意味着《泰晤士报》不应该再作为一个孤立的历史事件或趋势的权威出现，更普遍地说，比较工作的动力是相当大的，而且是便利的。有了文本挖掘和复杂的搜索软件，媒体的研究就有了许多巧妙的搜索结构和意想不到的来源。作为
Prior to digitization, newspaper research was primarily undertaken by historians–political, local, social, cultural, art, scientific, legal or literary–who had reason and time to trawl slowly through bound volumes of unwieldy and desiccated broadsheets or, when paper copy was unavailable, to manage microfilm. While the great majority of historians consulted newspaper content in search of other topics, a small number researched the medium itself. Re-mediation of historical newspapers in digital forms has not only awakened thousands of later readers to the nineteenth-century press, but enabled them to search broadly, deeply and quickly. Moreover, additions to the contents of the print corpus are considerable: new digital editions of historical media offer an opportunity to create complete runs where gaps may exist in individual libraries; and unlike print, errors in publishing can be easily corrected, the corpus initially digitized can be expanded should newspaper issues or supplementary material be found, and users can comment on or correct editions in ways that echo interaction between print media and their first readers, in correspondence columns, answers and sales. This flexibility is only a potential of the technology, though, and remains dependent on the willingness of commercial publishers to fund staff and time to take on irregular stints of quality control. Nevertheless, some publishers have delivered on corrections, expansions and updates. It is also theoretically possible to link digitally published research articles on serials with the historical archive, should publishers permit it, in order to share work with those interested and build a locus of current research around the source, which can be discussed onsite. NINES is a platform that enables user sharing and interchange. 1 The availability of a swathe of nineteenth-century newspaper titles means that The Times should never again appear as an isolated authority for historical events or trends and, more generally, that the impetus to comparative work is considerable, and facilitating. Given text mining and sophisticated search software, the study of media is open to many ingenious search structures and in unexpected sources. As
