PRESS AND AMERICA, THE

by Michael Emery

A comprehensive one-volume history of all forms of news media in the United States, including print and broadcast, but not Internet, as this edition was compiled prior to its ubiquity. This book does, however, offer wonderful insights into the often-tumultuous story of newspapers and radio and television. It is filled with photos and other illustrations and has a terrific bibliography. At just over 700 pages, it is not overwhelming.

Genres: History

734 pages, Paperback

A good book but old (written in 1970.) Good for foundational info.

Not an elegant narrative, but does the job.
