The work focuses on the nature of journalism during the years covered, considers noteworthy figures, examines the relationship of journalism to society, and provides explanations for the main directions that journalism was taking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEarly American printing was animated by remarkable vitality and sophistication, with the life of each newspaper and printer being marked by individual ideas and individual struggles. Early Americans also had quite sophisticated ideas about the role and operation of the press. In this survey, the authors try to suggest the complexities of the early American press. They address such issues as why newspapers first appeared, the purpose that newspaper operators saw for themselves, the role of the practice of journalism in the colonial press, and the role of the press in influencing public opinion. Their primary focus, however, is on the essential nature of the early American press and the factors that accounted for that character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Sloan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313275254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313275258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.33w x 0.88d","brand":"William Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637133099263,"sku":"9780313275258","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1adeec9d-8cb3-48aa-a091-9e414adb185c.jpg?v=1765114124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-early-american-press-1690-1783-william-sloan-9780313275258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
