Disinformation in Mass Media : Gluck, Piccinni and the Journal de Paris Hardback
by Beverly Jerold
Part of the Royal Musical Association Monographs series
Hardback
- Information
Description
The founding in 1777 of the Journal de Paris, France’s first daily and distinctly commercial paper, represents an early use of disinformation as a tool for political gain, profit, and societal division.
To attract a large readership and bar competition for C.W.
Gluck’s works at the Paris Opéra, it launched a prolonged campaign of anonymous lies, mockery, and defamation against two prominent members of the Académie Française who wished the Opéra to be open to all deserving composers but lacked a comparable daily forum with which to defend themselves.
In this unique episode, music served as a smokescreen for nefarious activity.
No musical knowledge is necessary to follow this purely political drama.
