Reviews

Richly illustrated and clearly written, this book firmly and definitively anchors such well-known mid-century photo weekly magazines as LIFE in a much longer history. Photojournalism is meticulously and meaningfully given its vital role in shaping information and communication since the nineteenth century in this excellent survey - Co-Editor of Getting the Picture and The Visual Culture of the News - Vanessa R. Schwartz
