Fleet Street historians are scholars and writers who specialize in studying and documenting the history of Fleet Street, a historic street in London famously associated with the British newspaper industry. They explore its development as a media hub from the 17th century onward, examining the social, economic, and cultural impacts of journalism and printing firms headquartered there. Their work often involves researching archival materials, such as old newspapers, manuscripts, and records, to understand how Fleet Street shaped public opinion, media practices, and the evolution of journalism over centuries.
