Congress and the Washington Correspondents

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

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 Cr dit Mohilier scandal, and the Johnson impeachment hearings were making front-page news. Rich in anecdote, this lively hook 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.
