Synopsis
The book is a narrative history of The Day, of New London, CT, a daily newspaper in southern New England that has preserved its independence from newspaper chains through a trust created by its owner, Theodore Bodenwein, in 1938. The book brings to life not only the history and inner workings of a small local newspaper but the story of a downcast old New England city's struggle to renew itself after the decline of its whaling industry. It traces the rags to riches life of Theodore Bodenwein, one of the few publisher's in the history of American journalism who was able to transmit his newspaper and its values to future generations intact.

Reviews
Stone, a reporter for the Day in New London, CT, has pieced together the remarkable story of one of the few independent newspapers left in the United States. Stone effectively re-creates an overview of the volatile and highly competitive world of journalism in America at the turn of the century, using actual stories from the Day and other newspapers as well as legal documents and personal correspondence to trace the the newspaper's history. The story of the Day and its founder, Theodore Bodenwein, belongs side by side with the stories of Frank Munsey, Joseph Pulitzer, and other well-known names in the history of independent journalism in America. This account offers an educational and revealing look at how modern American journalism developed as well as where it may be headed in the future. Highly recommended for all academic libraries supporting journalism programs and medium to large public libraries.DAngela Weiler, SUNY at Morrisville Libs.

Hardcover. xi, 499 p. Illustrations. Notes. Index. The Day, the local newspaper of New London, Connecticut, thrived throughout the 20th century because of its unique business model, in which a trust run by five board members answers to no one but itself--not a family, not shareholders. The Day is consistently listed among New England's best papers, and its charitable giving has long been an inspiration to the industry. This book looks closely at the history of this press and the personalities that have maintained it. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear, soiling, and edge wear. First edition. Stated. Presumed first printing. Seller Inventory # 62151
