Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Here at last is an authoritative, full-scale history of that most ambivalent of American political relationships: the interaction between the White House and the news media. From George Washington to Ronald Reagan, the authors explore the shifting and often dangerous currents in press-president relations, showing how these currents merged at today's critical juncture.Combining fascinating detail with trenchant commentary, Tebbel and Watts illuminate the influence of the press on presidential conduct and explain how presidents have come to manipulate the media, especially television, in ways never envisioned by the framers of the First Amendment. Seeing government control as a genuine threat to a free press, they warn of the growth of an imperialistic presidency that may well be capable of nullifying the First Amendment, in a relatively short time and with public support. The authors are not biased toward either the Democrats of the Republicans, and they show that the media owners themselves bear much of the blame for placing their own freedom in peril.In addition to offering a vigorous point of view, The Press and the Presidency is richly rewarding as narrative history. It unveils a dramatic pageant of American politics, replete with biographical and anecdotal nuggets. The authors are as vivid in discussing the press vilification that plagued Jefferson and Lincoln, as they are in describing the media manipulations of modern administrations.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. viii, 583, [1] pages. Footnotes. Sources. Index. John Tebbel (1912-2004) was an American journalist, editor, educator and media historian. Among other achievements he is know for his A History of Book Publishing in the United States, a 20-year effort published in four volumes from 1972 to 1980. In 1935 and began his career as a writer and newspaperman, serving as city editor for the Isabella County, Michigan, Times-News. He wrote for Newsweek magazine and worked as a reporter for the Detroit Free Press. In 1941 he became managing editor of the American Mercury. Two years later, he joined the Sunday staff of the New York Times, became an associate editor of the publishing firm E. P. Dutton & Co., and acted as an associate in journalism at Columbia. He served as chairman of the Journalism Department at New York University, and in 1958 was named the first director of their Graduate Institute of Book Publishing. Tebbel was a regular contributor to the Saturday Review and other magazines. Derived from a Kirkus review: A scholarly dissertation on the historically-troubled relations between presidents and their contemporary journalists. Both coauthors are professors of journalism in New York. Starting right in with George Washington, the press assumed its adversarial role, limited in its criticisms only by the sheer august reverence with which Washington was held by the populace. But even with its limits, the press still managed to get under Washington's thin skin enough to cause him to insert an admonitory paragraph in his Farewell Address. John Adams will always be remembered for his Alien and Sedition Acts, which clamped the lid on press criticism in a manner that would be considered downright imperial were it attempted by a modern president. No president was immune to discordancies with the Fourth Estate. In ending their survey with Reagan, "the great communicator," the authors suggest that manipulation, if not checked by journalists, will cause a resurgence of the Imperial Presidency.
