The book examines historical trends, including advocacy journalism, yellow journalism, investigative journalism, tabloid journalism, and multiplatform journalism. It discusses significant individuals, from Benjamin Franklin and Horace Greeley to Ida Tarbell and Oprah Winfrey. It examines noteworthy news organizations, from the New York Times and Life to CBS Radio and CNN.
