The love-hate relationship between the American public and tabloid-style media is an important part of America's journalistic history. Dan Cohen tells it all from William Randolph Hearst to Walter Winchell to today's internet gossip columnists.
This lighthearted book looks at the history of the American news media, showing its long-term addiction to scandal, sensationalism and gossip. Looking at the people who built the modern media and the stories they produced (and sometimes created), author Daniel Cohen punctures any pretence of "journalistic integrity." If you want to read a very funny book that completely skewers the American press, then this is the book for you!
