Description: "This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of newspapers in the United States. Although most scholars think the newspaper works through its content, this history looks deeper into form: ways of writing; systems of organization; and genres of presentation, including typography, space, and pictures. It explores both how we see newspapers and how newspapers imagine us - as citizens, voters, consumers, and spectators."--BOOK JACKET.
