 The Year That Defined American Journalism:
1897 and the Clash of Paradigms (2006)
From the book:
"American journalism faced the riptide of profound change in the late nineteenth century, and emerged the stronger for it. The turbulence of 1897 helped give rise to a newsgathering model that has served American journalism well for more than 100 years.
"To read the lessons of 1897, therefore, is to take encouragement. The angst and despair so commonplace in journalism today are quite likely misplaced. The story of 1897 suggests as much."
From a review by Jack Shafer, Slate.com:
"Press scholar W. Joseph Campbell ... voyaged to the late 19th century and has returned with a brilliant new book that pegs 1897 as the exceptional year in which 'the contours and ethos of American journalism began to take shape.'"
