Burns, Eric Infamous Scribblers ; The Founding Fathers and the Rowdy Beginnings of American Journalism
Publicaffairs 2006 158648334X / 9781586483340 First - Stated First Edition; Fi Hardcover Fine near fine Hardcover
Book is fine. Dust jacket is Intact with one-eighth inch tear to top of spine; no other flaws.. A combination of history and media studies, INFAMOUS SCRIBBLERS examines the very rich and productive period of American journalism that was an essential part of the founding of the republic. The colonial period was an age of pamphleteering and of newspapers that saw no problem with a partisan press, many of them using a combination of hardworking enthusiasm and a tabloid style to shape politics. Eric Burns, himself a Fox News journalist, takes a look at some of the journalists and publishers of the time and analyzes how they influenced the public's view of the Founding Fathers. He also recounts important trials, such as that of Peter Zenger (1735) , and key legislation like the Sedition Act (1798) , showing how they demarcated the freedoms and limits on speech, even up to our time. "Burns, a broadcast journalist, adopts a flowing, anecdote-laden style infused with bemusement toward the period's reportorial practices....[He] has produced a spry history of early American journalism. " -- Gilbert Taylor ***Gift Quality***; 1.5 x 9.3 x 6.1 Inches; 384 pages;
