Knightfall : Knight Ridder And How The Erosion Of Newspaper Journalism Is Putting Democracy At Risk

Attribution
Davis Merritt
Publication Details
Book, AMACOM–American Management Association, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
But greed can kill American newspapers, thus eliminating the crucial synergy between journalism and democracy. Whether the chosen method is scaling back of content, cutting corners to control costs, or dismantling the traditional wall separating the news and business departments, the result is the same: the watering down of newspaper journalism, which is the core of all American journalism. In Knightfall, Davis “Buzz” Merritt, a 40-year newspaperman whose career runs parallel to the seismic shift in journalism’s landscape, examines one notable exemplar of this growing trend, Knight Ridder, America’s second-largest newspaper company with holdings including The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press, and the Mercury News in San Jose.

Attribution
Lorman A. Ratner and Dwight L. Teeter, Jr
Publication Details
Book, University of Illinois Press, 2003
Description
During the years just before the Civil War, key newspapers in the United States became true mass media for the first time, reaching American society as never before. Tracing political accounts and diatribes published in northern and southern newspapers from 1856 to the shelling of Fort Sumter in 1861, Ratner and Teeter assert that newspapers, in their desire to be profitable and promote specific agendas, stoked the fires that heated tensions between North and South.
