Description
Newspaper by Maggie Messitt explores the complex and often contradictory role of newspapers in society. From censorship to partisan campaigns, this book examines how newspapers have been used as both a tool for power and a means of resistance. Through a 400-year history, Messitt reveals the hidden lives of newspapers, tracing their impact on movements and periods of unrest in two democratic nations. She considers the ways in which newspapers have been used to shape public opinion and hold those in power accountable. A beautifully designed Object Lessons book, Newspaper offers a nuanced understanding of this often-overlooked aspect of our lives.
