Benhamou, Paul. “The Periodical Press in the Encyclopédie.” The French Review, vol. 59, no. 3, American Association of Teachers of French, 1986, pp. 410–17. JSTOR, https://www.jstor.org/stable/392669.
In his article, Benhamou concentrates
on the portrayal of the press in
the Encyclopédie as well as roles of
French periodicals in the 18th century.
After spending a brief moment laying
down the history of the French press,
he digs into the message that the
articles send about the press, citing
numerous examples and authors that
seem to demonstrate that the press was
not favored. Benhamou mentions that
the Encyclopedists, as promoters of
freedom of the press, were actually not
entirely supportive of other journals
and periodicals, critiquing their
intrusion into literature and attacking
writers and readers alike and he
provides multiple instances of the
periodical press shined in a negative
light.
