Book Synopsis Press Gallery by : Donald A. Ritchie

Download or read book Press Gallery written by Donald A. Ritchie and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Ritchie examines the lives of early, self-styled congressional journalists such as Horace Greeley, Emily Briggs, Benjamin Perley Poore, Jane Grey Swisshelm, Horace White, James G. Blaine, and others who were positioned in the hub of government when the Civil War, the purchase of Alaska, the Crédit Mobilier scandal, and the Johnson impeachment hearings were making front-page news. Rich in anecdote, this lively book illuminates an important era of journalism and American history. The nascent issues of censorship, right to privacy, and conflict of interest that it describes are still very much with us.
