By investigating specific cases of newspapers in their communities,
Newspapers and the Making of Modern America shows the newspaper as
an agent of change in the construction and maintenance of
community. It develops the theme of a newspaper as a prime mover in
enacting policy, supporting development, building neighborhoods,
and generally modifying the physical and built environment. Using
the newspaper as a window into the study of the twentieth century,
the book shows how newspapers have: - Promoted the building of
America's first postwar suburb, constructed towns where none had
existed before, - Promoted development and new industry, - Built
community awareness, cohesion and preservation, - Moved populations
from one place to another, - Participated in campaigns both for and
against slum clearance, - And carved out communities within
communities. Examples include newspapers in relation to their state
(Des Moines Register), their county (Long Island Newsday), their
region (Miami Herald, Los Angeles Times), their city (New York
Daily News, New York Mirror and New York Daily Graphic) their
community (Baltimore Afro-American, Pittsburgh Courier, Chicago
Defender), their town (Emporia Gazette, Anniston Star) their
village (Village Voice, East Village Other) and their nation (New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and USA TODAY).
