«The Neue Zeitungen von gelehrten Sachen, which was founded in 1715 by Johann Gottlieb Krause
This general learned organ was something new within the German press landscape. As the name ‹Neue Zeitungen› already suggests, this type of journal borrows the outward appearance of the general press organ, the newspaper. Like these it appeared weekly, after 1717 twice weekly, in the form of a half sheet. It contained no long criticisms or essays, but was restricted to the communication of the incoming scholarly news and indeed principally from Menckes academic correspondence. As such the ‹Neue Zeitungen› are, in a certain sense, a supplement to the ‹Acta Eruditorum› in that they are restricted to the communications from the world of scholarship, which were bundled according to towns. In this particular they provided a substitute for the correspondence between scholars, they are a journalistically presented extension of the same and are intended for the circle of those interested in academic news in and around a university town.»
