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 politicization of editorial scrutiny, and the role of the press in Adams' close electoral defeat by Thomas Jefferson. Using Adams' voluminous correspondence, an analysis of his own views of press coverage concludes the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786493534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786493531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Walt Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825745580287,"sku":"9780786493531","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22b00c92-f29c-4edb-aadb-b9a218b3e24f.jpg?v=1746073505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-adams-and-the-american-walt-brown-9780786493531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
