<br/><br/>The ideal of objectivity -- The revolution in American journalism in the age of egalitarianism: the Penny Press -- Telling stories: journalism as a vocation after 1880 -- Stories and information: twos journalisms in the 1890s -- Objectivity becomes ideology: journalism after World War I -- Objectivity, news management, and the critical culture 
<br/><br/> 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. - Publisher
