Liberty And The News (1920)

Liberty And The News is a book written by Walter Lippmann and published in 1920. The book is a critique of the news media and its role in a democratic society. Lippmann argues that the news media has become too focused on sensationalism and entertainment, and has lost its ability to provide accurate and objective information to the public. He also argues that the news media has become too closely aligned with political and economic interests, and that this has led to a distortion of the news and a lack of transparency in government. Lippmann suggests that the solution to these problems is to create a more independent and professional news media, one that is free from political and economic pressures and is dedicated to providing accurate and objective information to the public. The book is considered a classic in the field of journalism and has had a significant influence on the development of modern media theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
