This book explores Bernard Shaw's journalism from the mid-1880s
through the Great War-a period in which Shaw contributed some of
the most powerful and socially relevant journalism the western
world has experienced. In approaching Shaw's journalism, the
promoter and abuser of the New Journalism, W. T. Stead, is
contrasted to Shaw, as Shaw countered the sensational news copy
Stead and his disciples generated. To understand Shaw's brand of
New Journalism, his responses to the popular press' portrayals of
high profile historical crises are examined, while other examples
prompting Shaw's journalism over the period are cited for depth:
the 1888 Whitechapel murders, the 1890-91 O'Shea divorce scandal
that fell Charles Stewart Parnell, peace crusades within
militarism, the catastrophic Titanic sinking, and the Great War.
Through Shaw's journalism that undermined the popular press' shock
efforts that prevented rational thought, Shaw endeavored to promote
clear thinking through the immediacy of his critical journalism.
Arguably, Shaw saved the free press.
