Abstract

In Paris, the medical press developed after 1754. Newspaper editors, at the head of a network of contributing doctors and readers, the ‘Docteurs Régents’, physicians holding the highest rank awarded by the Faculty of Paris, deployed writing strategies where the circulation and publication of knowledge and know-how combined with an attempt at self-promotion. A commercial enterprise, the medical press participates in the formation of the professional identity of doctors and in medicalization.
