About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive one-volume history of all forms of news media in the United States, including print and broadcast, but not Internet, as this edition was compiled prior to its ubiquity. This book does, however, offer wonderful insights into the often-tumultuous story of newspapers and radio and television. It is filled with photos and other illustrations and has a terrific bibliography. At just over 700 pages, it is not overwhelming.

From the Back Cover

This completely updated version of a book that has been highly successful for more than three decades continues to tell the colorful story of American life and the American mass media. With an interpretive writing style that places the people and events covered in their proper contexts, THE PRESS AND AMERICA, EIGHTH EDITION fully covers the continuing efforts by men and women to facilitate the flow of information and ideas which effect public opinion so strongly.
