Bestselling narrative history of American media that puts race at the center of the story
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 <i>Progressive</i>—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.<br>Written in an exciting, story-driven style and replete with memorable portraits of journalists, both famous and obscure, <i>News for All the People</i> is destined to become the standard history of the American media.
