Liberty And The News (1920)

Liberty and the News is a non-fiction book written by Walter Lippmann and published in 1920. The book explores the role of the media in American democracy and argues that the press has a responsibility to provide accurate and unbiased information to the public. Lippmann contends that the media has become too focused on sensationalism and entertainment, and that this has led to a decline in the quality of journalism and a loss of trust in the press. He argues that the media should be held to a higher standard of accountability and that journalists should strive to provide objective reporting that is free from bias and propaganda. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of journalism and has had a lasting influence on the way that journalists approach their work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
