If we go back only 150 years, we find the house journal one of our oldest forms of created public relations. Charles Dickens records the Lowell Offering, edited by the women working in a cotton mill in New England. When Singer began selling sewing machines in America in 1855, he published his Gazette to teach his customers how to use a sewing machine.
The Lever brothers, who made soap from the fat of cattle imported from America to Liverpool, published an employee journal a hundred years ago. They also built the garden city of Port Sunlight for their workers. About the same time the Manchester Co-Operative Society published one of the first house journals.
