On Press

As Matthew Pressman’s timely history reveals, during the turbulent 1960s and 70s the core values that held the news industry together broke apart and the distinctive characteristics of contemporary American print journalism emerged. Simply reporting the facts was no longer enough as reporters recognized a need to interpret events for their readers.

„Povestea suprema din spatele tuturor povestilor ... Intr-o epoca in care presa este alternativ ticalos sau erou, Pressman serveste ca un fel de medicinist al jurnalismului, spunandu-ne cum am ajuns de acolo pana aici.” - Graydon Carter fost editor al Vanity Fair In anii 1960 si 1970, presa americana a imbratisat un nou mod de raportare si vanzare a stirilor.
