Add your own review!

Overview

"The essays in this collection explore the British popular press since 1896 from Harmsworth's ""Daily Mail"" to Maxwell's ""Mirror"". Topics include: the sorry tale of the ""Daily Herald""; early dealings with the BBC; the role of photojournalism; the contribution of Reuters; and the roots of financial journalism for a mass market. This volume demonstrates that the history of the popular press has always been about more than big headlines and big profit margins."
