This study traces the colorful history of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors (ASNE) as an alliance of primarily midwestern
editors in the 1920s to a slightly more diverse 1,000-member
organization cautiously poised to enter the 21st century. Using
minutes, correspondence, interviews, official proceedings, and
other in-house documents, Pratte shows how the loosely knit
organization, serving as an independent bridge between the more
liberal ranks of the reporters and the more conservative
publishers, has been absorbed into the corporate culture. The
history, presented in both chronological and topical form,
discusses the leadership and lack of leadership concerning such
issues as ethics, freedom of the press, world press freedom,
newspaper economics, journalism education, diversity, and minority
affairs. As the first critical history of the professional, elite
organization of editors to be written by an independent outside
source, this work suggests ASNE has provided ordinary leadership
for extraordinary times.
