The second book in a six-volume series on the history of American
journalism, this book focuses on the 50 years following the end of
the Revolution, during which the American press grew and expanded.
Newspapers played an important political role as the press became
involved in the partisanship that characterized most of this
period. As political parties grew in the United States, newspapers
became an essential part of the communication network for the
dissemination of the ideology of the parties. In this volume,
Humphrey clearly presents the changing role of the press in
American society—from a vehicle through which to convert people
to a particular point of view, to a provider of news and
information.
