Inhaltsangabe

In this forthright critique of the press as a threat to American democracy and a danger to the value of liberty at large, Lippman asserts the central, indispensable connection between liberty and truth. Taking aim at the press, Lippman denounces its propensity to promote its own agendas and purposes rather than promulgate the truthful exchange of facts and the free flow of ideas. Liberty and the News is a masterful portrayal of a problem still highly relevant today. Lippman's insights and vision for a better way to disseminate the news are highly eluminating.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was an American writer, journalist, and political commentator whose work profoundly shaped twentieth-century public discourse. A founding editor of The New Republic and later a widely syndicated columnist, Lippmann combined philosophical inquiry with practical political observation. His major works-including A Preface to Politics, Public Opinion, and The Phantom Public-explored the relationship between democracy, mass media, and public understanding. He was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary and remains one of the most influential political thinkers of his era.
