Title: History of journalism in the United States
Description: This is a fascinating book discussing the history of journalism in the United States including a discussion of the development of the trade in England.  The book follows trends in politics as they relate to journalism, and the co- development of democracy and the free press.  Regional differences are covered as well.   It is quite readable with many interesting stories related to the topic which would probably be side-stepped in current times but make for enjoyable reading.  The book reads as if it grew out of a popular academic lecture series.
