About this title: This instructive and entertaining social history of American newspapers shows that the very idea of impartial, objective news was the social product of the democratization of political, economic, and social life in the nineteenth century. Professor Schudson analyzes the shifts in reportorial style over the years and explains why the belief among journalists and readers alike that newspapers must be objective still lives on.

"Excellent social history of the news, with a particularly insightful discussion of the invention of "objectivity" in U.S. journalism. In tracing the history of an idea, Schudson challenges the assumption that objectivity in journalism has always existed and that is always worth striving for."
