“The Times” coverage of the Crimean War in April 1854

Abstract

The paper considers “The Times” coverage of the Crimean War in April 1854. That period is chosen because the British Empire entered the Crimean War at the end of March 1854, which could not help but affect the British newspaper’s coverage of the war. The articles printed in “The Times” between March 29 and April 30, 1854 that directly or indirectly mention the Crimean War are analyzed. It is about the battles, the movements of armies and fleets, and the diplomatic intrigue that was unfolding at that moment between the most influential and interested countries of Europe and Asia in the region of hostilities. The article will analyze the presentation of material on the pages of “The Times”, the speed and accuracy of information, and the attitude towards the parties to the conflict.
