Description
The Newsmongers: A History of Tabloid Journalism by Terry Kirby
This book takes a vivid and racy look at the history of tabloid journalism, from its 16th-century beginnings to the present day. It explores the evolution of sensationalism, from the early printed "Strange Newes" sheets to the digital age, and examines the unscrupulous methods used by journalists to get the story.
Meet the colorful figures who shaped the industry, including Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch, and Robert Maxwell, and discover how the press has responded to scandals and controversies over the years.
