The Associated Press And Labor; Being Seven Chapters From The Brass Check: A Study Of American Journalism

""The Associated Press and Labor"" is a section of the book ""The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism"" by Upton Sinclair. This section focuses on the relationship between the Associated Press (AP) and labor. The AP is a news organization that provides news stories to newspapers across the United States. Sinclair argues that the AP has a bias against labor and unions, and that this bias is reflected in the news stories that the AP distributes. Sinclair provides examples of news stories that he believes are biased against labor, and he argues that this bias is harmful to the labor movement. He also discusses the history of the AP and its relationship with labor, including the AP's role in suppressing news about labor strikes and protests. Overall, ""The Associated Press and Labor"" is a critical examination of the role of the AP in shaping public opinion about labor and unions in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
