This review is from: Discovering The News: A Social History Of American Newspapers (Paperback)
Schudson gives a lively explanation of American newspapers, up to 1980. Much of the discussion is about how things worked in the 19th century, when reporting was far more partisan and less regulated by convention or professional codes.
As the 20th century proceeded, the quality of reporting tended to rise; to become more objective, at least on the surface. And even partisan newspapers like the Wall Street Journal improved the accuracy of their front page articles. Alas, the book needs a serious updating [if the author is still around], to take into account the Web 2.0 and its effect on newspapers. |
