Reviews

""The history of this country is the history of journalism. No one tells this story with more care, skill, and elegance than Gregory Borchard."" –William McKeen, Boston University, USA ""At last: a Zenger-to-Twitter history of the American press, covering the vast subject from the perspective of journalists and their critics alike, with breathtakingly advancing technologies and the guarantees of the First Amendment as constant subtexts. Gregory Borchard, a leading scholar in this field, has done an outstanding job. This book should at once become—and remain—the standard reference on the subject."" –Harold Holzer, Hunter College, USA
