Omschrijving
A sweeping history of America's first media revolution: the rise of the newspaper, and the transformation of a fledgling republic into the world's first information superpower. No society had ever generated so much ink and paper in so little time. Between the Revolutionary War and the dawn of the twentieth century, the number of American newspapers increased five hundredfold. In Empire of Ink, Alex Wright tells the story of how an unruly young democracy found its voice--shaped by the interplay of new technologies, bold public policies, and a distinctly American zeal for free expression that unleashed the greatest outpouring of print the world had ever seen. It was a wild, boisterous time--populated by gunslinging editors, tramp printers, zealous reformers, brilliant inventors, and literal snake-oil salesmen. Together, they transformed journalism, built a new industry, and helped forge the nation's character. By century's end, this freewheeling press had begun to give way to news syndicates, wire services, and corporate interests. Wealthy media barons seized on new technologies and economies of scale to consolidate power--shaping the mass media that would define the twentieth century. Vividly bringing a pivotal chapter in American history to life, Empire of Ink reveals how the nation's age-old struggles over truth, technology, and power continue to echo into today's digital age.
