We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2024 ESPRit Prize for digital projects and/or print research on periodicals in Europe published in 2022/2023.

Congratulations to Marysa Demoor, Cedric Van Dijck and Birgit Van Puymbroeck, editors of The Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals (Edinburgh University Press, 2023), and to all contributing authors.

The ESPRit Prize committee was unanimous in their decision, calling the winning volume a “genuine tour de force”. The committee was “impressed by its vast scope and by the diversity of angles (critical, theoretical, thematic, national, linguistic) from which the different chapters consider the First World War press” and praised “the richness of scholarship produced, from its compelling attention to different critical methodologies, materialities of the press, genres, events and global perspectives”.
