From the Inside Flap
coundrels, Journalists traces the lives and times of nearly 300 American newspeople, from the colonial printer who wrote about the sex life of the king of France to the Global Village anchor who as a young man stood up dates in order to listen to Edward R. Murrow.
Great journalism has a rich past. So does lousy journalism. This entertaining book introduces readers to the inside story of news, as told by journalistic sleuths and sloths, martyrs and moguls, First Amendment heroes and notorious scandalmongers.
Hear them talk about how and why they do what they do:
"Telegraph fully all news...and when there is no news send rumors."
--Wilbur Storey
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."
--Robert Capa
"Even more than the words, the way the words are said
