Description
The story behind all the stories. In an age when the press is alternately villain or hero, Matthew Pressman serves as a kind of medicine man of journalism, telling us how we got from there to here. In the 1960s and 1970s, the American press underwent significant changes, driven by factors such as the proliferation of television, pressure to improve its treatment of minorities and women, and accusations of bias. As Pressman's history reveals, these tumultuous decades saw the core values that held the profession together break apart, giving rise to distinctive characteristics of contemporary American journalism. Today, the American press stands at a precipice, with increasing calls to rethink the values that drive the industry. This timely history provides valuable insight into the evolution of journalistic principles and their ongoing relevance in modern times.
