News For All The People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media

From colonial newspapers to the Internet age, Americaâ€™s racial divisions have played a central role in the creation of the countryâ€™s media system, just as the media has contributed toâ€”and every so often, combatedâ€”racial oppression. This acclaimed bookâ€”called a â€œmasterpieceâ€ by the esteemed scholar Robert W. McChesney and chosen as one of 2011â€™s best books by the Progressiveâ€”reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans have received, even as it depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press.

Written in an exciting, story-driven style and replete with memorable portraits of journalists, both famous and obscure, News for All the People is destined to become the standard history of the American media.
