Product Description
This book fills a gap in the history of Nevada. Ranging from the 1860s to the present, the author details, in a scholarly manner, the development of the state's newspaper industry, recounting a few familial stories and the work of some famous Nevada newspapermen. More attention is given to the scarcely-known stories of mining camp journalism, the hoaxes disseminated, the ethnic newspapers along with the coverage of ethnic-centered events, and the politics and activities of the present newspaper empires.
