About: Written in 1625 at the height of Jonson's career, "The Staple of News" is a lively satire in which Jonson takes a stand on various developments in later Jacobean society, including the emergence of an organized political journalism whose trade in news "stories" he saw as undermining his own endeavour to educate public awareness through political fictions.
