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.

Last Paper Standing
Author: Ken J. Ward
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 1646425065
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Last Paper Standing chronicles the history of competition between the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News—from both newspapers’ origins to their joint operating agreement in 2001 to the death of the News in 2009—to tell a broader story about the decline of newspaper readership in the United States. The papers fought for dominance in the lucrative Denver newspaper market for more than a century, enduring vigorous competition in pursuit of monopoly control. This frequently sensational, sometimes outlandish, and occasionally bloody battle spanned numerous eras of journalism, embodying the rise and fall of the newspaper industry during the twentieth century in the lead up to the fall of American newspapering. Drawing on manuscript collections scattered across the United States as well as oral histories with executives, managers, and journalists from the papers, Ken J. Ward investigates the strategies employed in their competition with one another and against other challenges, such as widespread economic uncertainty and the deterioration of the newspaper industry. He follows this competition through the death of the Rocky Mountain News in 2009, which ended the country’s last great newspaper war and marked the close of the golden age of Denver journalism. Fake news runs rampant in the absence of high-quality news sources like the News and the Post of the past. Neither canonizing nor vilifying key characters, Last Paper Standing offers insight into the historical context that led these papers’ managers to their changing strategies over time. It is of interest to media and business historians, as well as anyone interested in the general history of journalism, Denver, and Colorado.

Freedom's Ballot
Author: Margaret Garb
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022613606X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
In the spring of 1915, Chicagoans elected the city’s first black alderman, Oscar De Priest. In a city where African Americans made up less than five percent of the voting population, and in a nation that dismissed and denied black political participation, De Priest’s victory was astonishing. It did not, however, surprise the unruly group of black activists who had been working for several decades to win representation on the city council. Freedom’s Ballot is the history of three generations of African American activists—the ministers, professionals, labor leaders, clubwomen, and entrepreneurs—who transformed twentieth-century urban politics. This is a complex and important story of how black political power was institutionalized in Chicago in the half-century following the Civil War. Margaret Garb explores the social and political fabric of Chicago, revealing how the physical makeup of the city was shaped by both political corruption and racial empowerment—in ways that can still be seen and felt today.
