On Press - The Liberal Values That Shaped the News

Informationen zum Autor Matthew Pressman worked for eight years at Vanity Fair , where his articles about the news media won the 2010 Mirror Award for Best Commentary (digital media). He has also written for The Atlantic , the Washington Post , and Time . At Seton Hall University, where he is Assistant Professor of Journalism, he teaches writing for the media, the history of American journalism, and a course known informally as World War 2.0, in which students report on the Second World War as if it were happening today. Klappentext As Matthew Pressman¿s timely history reveals, during the turbulent 1960s and 70s the core values that held the news industry together broke apart and the distinctive characteristics of contemporary American print journalism emerged. Simply reporting the facts was no longer enough as reporters recognized a need to interpret events for their readers.
