Originally published in 1991. This fascinating book of journalism
history outlines the author's concepts of the three 'central ideas'
in journalism which have evolved through time. The first is the
Official Story, that which state authorities wanted people to know;
the second, the Corruption Story, emphasised the abuse of authority
by those in power and focused on a willingness to oppose the
official and tell the specific detail; and the third, the
Oppression Story, where journalists present the cause of events as
down to external influences and work to change the social
environment. The book narrates the history from its European
beginnings in the 16th and 17th Centuries up to the early 20th
Century, expressing how all interpretive journalism has a
philosophic, world-view, component and understanding journalism
history entails understanding these insights of the times.
