After the War presents a panoramic view of social, political, and
economic change in post-Civil War America by examining its
journalism, from coverage of politics and Reconstruction to
sensational reporting and images of the American people. The
changes in America during this time were so dramatic that they
transformed the social structure of the country and the nature of
journalism. By the 1870s and 1880s, new kinds of daily newspapers
had developed. New Journalism eventually gave rise to Yellow
Journalism, resulting in big-city newspapers that were increasingly
sensationalistic, entertaining, and designed to attract everyone.
The images of the nation's people as seen through journalistic
eyes, from coverage of immigrants to stories about African American
"Black fiends" and Native American "savages," tell a vibrant story
that will engage scholars and students of history, journalism, and
media studies.
