Abstract

This article deals with the coverage of the first period of the Crimean War (1853–1856) in The Times. The first period in this article is considered to be the period from the beginning of the war up to the first serious defeat of the Turkish navy: the Battle of Sinop. The articles published in The Times between November 19 and December 12, 1853, which directly or indirectly refer to the Crimean War, are analyzed. It is about the fighting, the movements of armies and navies, and the political game that was unfolding at that moment between the most influential and interested countries in Europe and Asia. This article will analyze the presentation of the material in The Times, the speed and accuracy of the information, and the treatment of the parties to the conflict.
