商品簡介
This timely volume on press criticism in the progressive era examines the writings of turn-of-the-century journalists who worried about the growing role of corporate power, public relations and governmental threats to a free press in the nation's modern formative age. The work examines the effects of rising corporate power on the press, the progressive belief in government regulation, the growing impact of public relations, government propaganda, and other factors that laid the groundwork for current problems of corporatism and accountability in the press today. Reynolds is a professor of mass communication at Louisiana State University, and Hicks is a professor of communications at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville.
