This book tracks the evolution of news through history. It explores the regular reconstruction of news, the saleability of news, and whether objectivity matters. It provides an innovative approach to the history of news; clear, succinct writing; and effective use of photographs, maps, and tables which have strong appeal to the student reader. It offers a new way of understanding news in our history and culture.
