Recenzii

Wallace looks at how 20th-century newspapers shaped community cultural and economic development. Each of the seven chapters is a mini-essay analyzing how specific newspapers reflected and changed the way a particular community or demographic group envisioned itself..[t]he book's sweep suggests an array of topics that will intrigue those interested in news organizations and the communities they cover..[t]his accessible book includes solid notes and some photographs. Recommended. Lower-/upper-division undergraduates; graduate students; general readers.
The span of the 20th century saw newspapers take on enormous importance in the dissemination of information and opinions throughout US society, and then gradually subside from its role as the primary source of news and information to just one among many. Wallace examines the significant trends in American newspaper journalism, including the proliferation of wire services, the development of the African-American press, investigative reporting, and digital developments.
