The Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals, edited by Marysa Demoor (UGent) and CLIC members Birgit Van Puymbroeck (VUB) and Cedric Van Dijck (VUB), has been awarded the 2024 prize of the European Society for Periodical Research. The Companion is the first of its kind: it brings together leading and emerging scholars from various fields to reassess the role and function of the periodical press during the so-called ‘Greater War’. It pays specific attention to the global aspects of the war, as well as to different types of periodicals that existed during the conflict, ranging from trench, hospital and camp journals to popular newspapers, children’s magazines and avant-garde journals in various national and cultural contexts.
