Abstract
From 1513 to 1640, news pamphlets informed and entertained the English. Such publications have been difficult to identify and little has been written about them. More than 1,200 pamphlets were identified by reviewing entries in the Short Title Catalogue. They were then analyzed by numbers produced and subject matter. Factors that news pamphlets may share with modern news formats - including subject matter, sales methods, and newsgathering techniques - are described. Their characteristic tone is also examined. It is suggested that news pamphlets may help media historians examine what is universal about the news and what is culturally influenced.
