Book Description
Excerpt from N. W. Ayer and Son's American Newspaper Annual, 1880: Containing a Catalogue of American Newspapers, a Carefully Prepared List of All Newspapers and Periodicals Published in the United States, Territories and Dominion of Canada Owing to the magnitude of the work to be done, the information was solicited and to a great extent obtained during March and April, but the work of revision has gone on steadily ever since. The entire country has been canvassed in the interim, hundreds of personal letters written, and every endeavor made to bring the information down to the latest moment and the result of this untiring labor is that the book represents the condition of the Newspaper Press of the country as it stands to - day; and a careful examination of its contents will verify the assertion. It is not perfect: no work of the kind can be; but we have spared neither labor nor expense to make it more nearly so than any other Newspaper Directory published. As the work contains some features not to be found in any similar publication, a few words of explanation may not be out of place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Corruption and Reform
Author: Edward L. Glaeser
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226299597
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Despite recent corporate scandals, the United States is among the world’s least corrupt nations. But in the nineteenth century, the degree of fraud and corruption in America approached that of today’s most corrupt developing nations, as municipal governments and robber barons alike found new ways to steal from taxpayers and swindle investors. In Corruption and Reform, contributors explore this shadowy period of United States history in search of better methods to fight corruption worldwide today. Contributors to this volume address the measurement and consequences of fraud and corruption and the forces that ultimately led to their decline within the United States. They show that various approaches to reducing corruption have met with success, such as deregulation, particularly “free banking,” in the 1830s. In the 1930s, corruption was kept in check when new federal bureaucracies replaced local administrations in doling out relief. Another deterrent to corruption was the independent press, which kept a watchful eye over government and business. These and other facets of American history analyzed in this volume make it indispensable as background for anyone interested in corruption today.

All the News That's Fit to Sell
Author: James T. Hamilton
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400841410
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
That market forces drive the news is not news. Whether a story appears in print, on television, or on the Internet depends on who is interested, its value to advertisers, the costs of assembling the details, and competitors' products. But in All the News That's Fit to Sell, economist James Hamilton shows just how this happens. Furthermore, many complaints about journalism--media bias, soft news, and pundits as celebrities--arise from the impact of this economic logic on news judgments. This is the first book to develop an economic theory of news, analyze evidence across a wide range of media markets on how incentives affect news content, and offer policy conclusions. Media bias, for instance, was long a staple of the news. Hamilton's analysis of newspapers from 1870 to 1900 reveals how nonpartisan reporting became the norm. A hundred years later, some partisan elements reemerged as, for example, evening news broadcasts tried to retain young female viewers with stories aimed at their (Democratic) political interests. Examination of story selection on the network evening news programs from 1969 to 1998 shows how cable competition, deregulation, and ownership changes encouraged a shift from hard news about politics toward more soft news about entertainers. Hamilton concludes by calling for lower costs of access to government information, a greater role for nonprofits in funding journalism, the development of norms that stress hard news reporting, and the defining of digital and Internet property rights to encourage the flow of news. Ultimately, this book shows that by more fully understanding the economics behind the news, we will be better positioned to ensure that the news serves the public good.
