This poem, written during the English Civil War, imagines a court session in which the major figures from the news media of the time are put on trial for their actions. Using his verse to critique the political discourse of his time, Wither offers a unique perspective on the role of the media in shaping public opinion. A must-read for those interested in the history of journalism and its wider cultural impact.
