Description: |
Bestselling narrative history of American media that puts race at the center of the story |
Synopsis: |
From colonial newspapers to the Internet age, America's racial divisions have played a central role in the creation of the country's media system, just as the media has contributed to - and every so often, combated - racial oppression. This acclaimed book - called a "masterpiece" by the esteemed scholar Robert W. McChesney and chosen as one of 2011's best books by the Progressive - reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans have received, even as it depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press. Written in an exciting, story-driven style and replete with memorable portraits of journalists, both famous and obscure, News for All the People is destined to become the standard history of the American media. |
