Vestnik Evropy (Herald of Europe)

The Genre ‘Letter to the Publisher’ As a Form of Journalistic Self-reflection in 1800–1810s (Based on Vestnik Evropy ‘Herald of Europe’)

The article focuses on the origins of national journalistic criticism – the reflections of N. M. Karamzin, V. A. Zhukovsky and other editors of Vestnik Evropy (Herald of Europe) on the journal, on the mission of a socio-political publication. The features of the genre ‘letter to the publisher’ are considered as characteristic of the early XIXth century form of media-critical reflection.
