This book argues that dueling should be looked at as a fundamental part of the history of journalism. By examining the nineteenth century Code Duello, the accepted standards under which a duel is conducted, the author explores the causes of combative responses involving journalists. Each chapter examines an aspect of the practice from the nineteenth century through the present, including the connections between the ritualized aggression of the past and the feuding among blog journalists today. A comprehensive bibliography as well as an overview of accepted practices under the Code of Honor as faced by nineteenth century journalists are provided.
Historian Ryan Chamberlain has been researching and writing about the connection between honor rituals and journalism for nearly a decade. He is a longtime member of the American Journalism Historians Association. He lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
