Walt Brown

John Adams and the American Press

Politics and Journalism at the Birth of the Republic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study of the early American press and President Adams first discusses the press' treatment of President Washington. The newspapers of the day, alien in both form and content to today's publications, are also covered. The confrontational relationship between Adams and editors is examined, focusing on the President's personality, the "honeymoon” at the beginning of his administration, the increasing politicisation of editorial scrutiny, and the role of the press in Adams' electoral defeat by Thomas Jefferson.
