Futurists have called newspapers the last of the great smokestack
industries--decrepit, dated, and destined to die. Fresh Ink offers
proof that this need not be true. Newspapers are still a mass
medium, able to gather a set of facts and create a sense of
community each day--if they will. Fresh Ink tells how Robert
Decherd and Burl Osborne transformed a flawed paper with a
checkered history into the leading newspaper in the southwest,
winning seven Pulitzer Prizes along the way, one of them for
graphics--the only newspaper to ever do so. The focus is on a week
in the life of The Dallas Morning News, the death a month later of
the competing Dallas Times Herald, and how the News has conducted
itself since. By offering an inside look at what is arguably the
most successful newspaper in the country, this book makes an
important contribution to the history of journalism.
